UV Tanning
Our state-of-the-art UV tanning beds deliver customised tanning solutions for all skin types. With adjustable exposure times and intensity levels, clients can achieve gradual, natural-looking tans in controlled sessions. Our equipment includes advanced cooling systems and timers for safety, while trained consultants provide induction sessions to determine optimal settings based on individual skin tones and tanning goals.
Spray Tan
Automated spray tan booths provide even, streak-free tans in minutes using DHA-based solutions. The process includes pre-treatment preparation guidance, barrier cream application for extremities, and post-treatment care instructions. Clients receive immediate results with options for touch-up products to maintain their glow for 4-7 days through proper moisturising routines.
Red Light Therapy
This non-invasive treatment uses specific red light wavelengths to stimulate cellular repair and collagen production. Sessions target skin rejuvenation, reduced inflammation, and improved circulation. The therapy complements tanning by enhancing skin health and maintaining a radiant appearance between UV sessions, with visible results developing over multiple treatments.
Cryotherapy
Whole-body cryotherapy exposes clients to extremely cold temperatures for short durations, promoting muscle recovery and reducing inflammation. The treatment involves gradual acclimatisation in temperature-controlled chambers, with protective gear provided for extremities. Sessions last 2-3 minutes, offering post-exercise recovery benefits and potential skin texture improvements through increased blood circulation.
Tanning Lotions
Australian Gold lotions combine moisturising ingredients with DHA bronzers to accelerate and prolong tans. Formulations include accelerators for melanin production, intensifiers for deeper colour, and extenders to maintain results. Products feature natural extracts like aloe vera and jojoba oil, with options for sensitive skin and tattoo protection, available in sachet and bottle sizes for professional and home use.
