Tanning Consent Form

Disclosing what tanning does to the body

Despite its popularity, there are still some myths and misconceptions about tanning. Therefore, you must ensure your client knows what tanning does to their bodies. For example, some might believe that tanning helps them lose weight, not knowing that tanning can add weight to some people’s bodies by increasing the number of fat cells in the body. Other common misconceptions involve the color of the tan and the effects of UVA and UVB rays. You must address these misconceptions to ensure your client is making an educated choice. Once they understand these, they can fill out the tanning consent form to show they are comfortable proceeding with the tanning process.

Disclosing what the tanning procedure is like

Unlike some other beauty procedures, tanning uses both UVA and UVB rays. Your client must understand the difference between the two and how the tanning procedure works. The UVA rays cause the skin to tingle, while the UVB rays are what cause the skin to turn a darker color. Your client must understand these two things, so they aren’t surprised when they visit you. Unsatisfactory experiences can result in a client not returning; this is why you must provide your clients with this information on the tanning consent form before they start. Doing so will help them feel more comfortable and relaxed to enjoy their experience.
