The hybrid solarium in Basel

Sunlight makes you happy and healthy!

The sun is our elixir of life. It makes us shine, puts us in a good mood, gives us a beautiful complexion and helps banish the winter blues. At the same time, it supports the body in producing vitamin D through the skin – an indispensable factor for bone health.

But that’s not all: Vitamin D prevents depression, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart attacks and even many types of cancer.
And the best part? As current research shows, all of this is achieved not only by the real sun, but also by a good solarium.

Vitamin D – sunshine for your body

The human body can only produce vitamin D when UV-B rays hit the skin. The provitamin 7-dehydrocholesterol, which is present in sufficient quantities in the body, is converted to previtamin D3 by UV-B rays in a photochemical reaction. This is then processed into vitamin D in further steps.

Vitamin D is essential for our health and shows how important sunlight is for the body.

 

Advantages:

  • Strengthening the immune system
  • Positive influence on the cardiovascular system
  • Positive influence on the pancreas
  • Reduces the risk of diabetes
  • Strengthens bone structure
  • Prevents osteoporosis

Collagen light – for more strength and faster regeneration

Using collagen light strengthens muscles, tendons and joints, reduces the risk of injury and improves your training results. In addition, it accelerates regeneration after training – for optimal recovery and increased performance.

 

Advantages:

  • Anti-inflammatory effects
  • Positive results for joint pain
  • Muscle toning and performance improvement
  • Strengthening the collagen network (tendons, ligaments, joint capsule)

Stay young with collagen

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body and a central component of our connective tissue. It provides shape and elasticity and has a decisive influence on the strength or weakness of the tissue. Collagen is therefore an important building block for a firm and healthy appearance.

 

Advantages:

  • Stimulating skin detoxification
  • Skin imperfections are reduced
  • Wrinkles, scars and lines are reduced
  • Positive results in skin diseases such as neurodermatitis, acne, psoriasis
  • The skin’s moisture absorption and storage capacity improves
