But more and more UV tanning clients are coming to tanning businesses for therapeutic reasons, according to a SmartTan.com poll conducted in August. According to the poll, 90 percent of tanning businesses report having more tanning clients whose primary reason for tanning is therapeutic than they did two years ago. The poll is not scientific, but is highly directional. \u201cIndoor tanning\u2019s roots are therapeutic \u2014 the European sunbed industry spawned in sunlight-deprived areas,\u201d Smart Tan Vice President Joseph Levy said. \u201cAnd while North American salons follow a cosmetic protocol, there\u2019s no denying that many clients turn to sunbeds because they perceive therapeutic results by following the cosmetic regimen.\u201d Anti-tanning \u201cSun Scare\u201d lobbyists have continued to suggest that there are no therapeutic effects from sunbed usage. \u201cThe equipment was invented to deliver therapeutic effects,\u201d Levy said. \u201cAnd dermatologists do use virtually identical sunbeds to treat cosmetic skin conditions in their offices at 20 times the session price.\u201d","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/smarttan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/2011-08-08-Tan-therapy-copy.jpg"}
