Spray Tans
What is a spray tan?
Spray tanning allows people to achieve a bronze glow all year round without the health risks of tanning beds. While spray tanning has no known health risks, tanning beds have many. The concentrated UV rays used in tanning beds can damage the skin, causing premature aging and even skin cancer. The solution used in spray tanning won't damage the skin, and Monaco actually mixes the spray tan solution with skin-enhancing ingredients. When you walk out of your spray tan, you won't merely have a newly golden glow; you may also have healthier skin.
One of the biggest benefits of spray tans are the beautiful, customizable results. Some people are afraid that they'll come out of the tanning booth looking orange, but this is easily avoided. We work with our clients to create customized colour solutions. It doesn't matter whether you're starting out ghostly pale or with an olive skin tone; we can help you achieve a tan that works with your skin. Spray tanning can also help you achieve impressive all-over results. Even after a day on the beach, your face, hands, and feet might be lacking that perfect golden glow or even skin tone you hoped to achieve. Spray tanning gives you control over the final result, which helps you achieve a stunning head to toe tan.
How does the procedure work?
The process is fairly simple. A thin mist is sprayed onto the desired areas of skin, and the skin turns a natural-looking shade of tan. The process works because of a chemical called Dihydroxyacetone (DHA). This chemical is actually colorless, but it interacts with the amino acids that naturally occur in skin cells. When they come into contact, the skin cells become several shades darker.
While the thought of spraying yourself with a chemical that causes your skin cells to turn brown may sound suspicious, DHA is totally safe. It has no known health risks, and it's been used for cosmetic reasons for decades.
Who is a good candidate?
This minimally invasive, non-ablative, non-surgical, cosmetic procedure is safe and effective on all skin types without the risk of discolouration.
When will I see results and when can I return to everyday activities?
The results from DHA tend to last no more than a week. If you want to sustain your lovely bronze glow, you can maintain this by prebooking your appointments with our experienced Spray Tan Technician Nazli. Currently this service is offered exclusively at our Dundas location with Nazli.
