Solarium therapy is a controlled treatment that uses specialized ultraviolet (UV) lamps to simulate natural sunlight. This indoor method allows individuals to achieve a consistent tan while also promoting the synthesis of vitamin D—a nutrient essential for bone health and immune function.
Sessions are carefully regulated, with exposure times and light intensities adjusted for individual skin types, aiming to provide the benefits of sun exposure in a safer, more predictable environment. This therapy has been increasingly adopted not only for aesthetic tanning but also for its potential mood-enhancing effects, as it can help regulate circadian rhythms and alleviate symptoms associated with seasonal affective disorder.
Regular sessions can contribute to improved mood and energy, as the exposure to UV light helps stimulate the release of endorphins.
