Mystic Spray Tanning

MicroSpa's Mystic Tan will give you a rich golden tan in less than 60 seconds - and it's 100% UV-Free.

Mystic Tan is the world renowned sunless system that has been preferred by celebrities for years. It features wide interior design and complete privacy. Mystic Tan also pioneered their proprietary MagneTanTM technology, which ensures that all particles evenly adhere to the skin. This ensures you get a beautiful, golden, even tan.

MicroSpa uses Mystic Tan's cartridge system - which means that each treatment comes in a single-use cartridge. Many other salons use a "gallon" system, with which a multi-use gallon is connected to the system for multiple sprays - and it stays there until it runs out. The problem with this is that the product is not always "fresh." Once the product is opened and exposed to the air, it begins to oxidize, which eventually causes the color to change. At MicroSpa, you will never have to worry about uneven "orangey" color because we specifically only carry Mystic Tan’s premium single-use cartridge system - and each cartridge is freshly opened prior to each treatment.

Sunless tanning is for everybody, but it's especially good for hard-to-tan skin types. The UV-Free process gives a beautiful tan that last up to 7 days.

Because sunless tanning is purely cosmetic and does not provide protection from the sun’s rays, many clients choose to combine High Pressure Tanning with their Mystic Tan, to produce a base tan - the body’s natural protection from the sun.

If you have a special occasion today and would really like to see beautiful color immediately, try combining a UV Tan with a Mystic Tan! Known as a "cocktail" in the industry. Or if you have a little extra time (1-3 weeks), Microspa can customize a plan that’s specific to your skin type, which combines UV Tanning and Mystic Tan to ensue that you have the color that you need just in time for your special occasion.

Tanning Truth

How do we tan?
Tanning takes place in the skin's outermost layer, the epidermis, with special cells called melanocytes. When exposed to UV-B light (short wave ultraviolet), melanocytes produce the pigment, melanin. The pinkish melanin travels up through the epidermis and is absorbed by other skin cells. When exposed to UV-A light (longer wave), melanin oxidizes or darkens. This is your skin's way of protecting itself against too much UV light.

Why does a tan fade?
Cells in the epidermis are constantly reproducing and pushing older cells upward toward the surface of your skin, where they are sloughed off in about one month. As your skin replaces its cells, the cells laden with melanin are removed. So the tanning process must continue with the new cells.

Why Indoor Tanning is Better

Speed
It doesn't take all day to get a tan indoors. Depending on your skin type, just a few minutes, not hours. Maintain your tan for as little as 40 minutes a month.

Clean
You don't have to get yourself all sweaty and sandy at the beach in order to get a tan.

Control
Our state-of-the-art equipment allow us to monitor and scientifically control your ultraviolet UV-A and UV-B exposure. We make sure you tan and not burn.

Climate
Overcast, rainy, or 109 in the shade, you never have to worry about the weather with our pleasant, climate-controlled environment.

Be Safe. Tan Smart *

Lip and Eye Protection
Lips don't produce melanin and eyelids are too thin to block UV. That's why it's important to wear lip balms with sunscreen and protective goggles. Eyewear must be certified '21CFR'. We offer a selection of goggles that meet these Federal standards. You can avoid "Raccoon Eyes" by gently adjusting your goggles while you tan, but never remove them completely.

Outdoors
When you tan outdoors, you are exposed to uncontrolled and often excessive amounts of multi-frequency UV that can cause "sunburn" and permanent damage. When you are outside wear appropriate protection.

Medication
Some medications can cause reactions with UV light. MicroSpa has a list that you can look at to see if any medications you are taking will cause an adverse reaction from tanning. Please confirm with this list and/or let your doctor know you are tanning before using any of our tanning equipment.
