Disclaimer & Safety

Your safety matters to us. This page explains how we run sunbed tanning, red light therapy and beauty treatments responsibly, and what you should know before booking. It is general information, not medical advice — if you have any health concerns, please speak to our team and your GP first.

Over‑18s only

Sunbed use at Beautano is strictly for adults aged 18 and over. This is the law in Scotland under the Public Health etc. (Scotland) Act 2008, which prohibits under‑18s from using a sunbed and from being in the dedicated UV tanning area unsupervised. We may ask for photographic proof of age, and we reserve the right to refuse a session if we cannot verify that you are 18 or older.

Supervised, staffed sessions

Every UV tanning session is supervised by trained staff on the premises. We do not operate unstaffed or coin‑operated sunbeds. Our team is on hand to set appropriate session times, answer questions and help you tan sensibly.

Protective eyewear is required

Suitable protective eyewear must be worn for the whole of every sunbed session to protect your eyes from UV light. We provide eyewear, and closing your eyes or using sunglasses is not a safe substitute. Sessions will not go ahead without it.

Skin‑type assessment & sensible exposure

Before your first sunbed session we assess your skin type and tailor session lengths accordingly. We always recommend building a base tan gradually with shorter sessions and never exceeding the recommended exposure for your skin. Very fair skin that burns easily and does not tan is not suitable for UV tanning.

Understanding UV risk

We want you to make an informed choice. Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light, whether from the sun or a sunbed, carries health risks including premature skin ageing, eye damage and an increased risk of skin cancer. These risks are greater with overexposure, with fair skin, and for those who start using sunbeds at a younger age. We follow recognised safety guidance, but no UV tanning is risk‑free, and you use our sunbeds at your own discretion.

Health conditions & medication

Please tell us, and check with your GP before your session, if you:

• have a history of skin cancer or a family history of it;
• have moles, freckles or skin that burns easily and rarely tans;
• have a skin condition such as eczema, psoriasis or vitiligo;
• are taking medication that can increase sensitivity to light (for example some antibiotics, acne treatments or St John's Wort);
• are pregnant, or have any medical condition you are unsure about.

If in doubt, don't tan until you've had advice. We may decline a session where we believe UV tanning may not be suitable for you.

Red light therapy

Red light therapy is offered as a cosmetic and wellbeing experience. It uses visible red and near‑infrared light, not UV, and does not produce a tan. It is not a medical treatment and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any condition. Results vary from person to person and are not guaranteed. If you have a specific medical concern, please see a healthcare professional.

Beauty treatments

Our beauty and aesthetic treatments are cosmetic. We'll carry out any consultation or patch test relevant to your treatment, and we ask you to share any allergies, sensitivities or medical conditions beforehand so we can keep you safe.

No guarantee of results & liability

While we take all reasonable care, we cannot guarantee any particular cosmetic result, and nothing on this website should be taken as medical advice. To the extent permitted by law, Beautano accepts no liability for outcomes arising from a failure to disclose relevant health information or to follow our team's guidance and safety instructions.
