Itan Review

    Since summer is right around the corner I decided I needed to get my brown skin back and found myself wondering back into Itan solariums, a company that I haven't used since high school back in 2007. I was surprised how much the company had changed and all the services they now offer, last time I had been in the store it was pretty simple what level bed do you want and how long do you want to be in it for. Now I was being shown a bed that reads your skin level to customize your tan, a red light therapy treatment, bodywraps and teeth whitening. Talk about a head spin and then she finished it with "oh  and some of our other locations have even more services" I decided to go home and do some research on the services they were offering me before I spent money on some new fad. As I was researching I noticed that there is very limited detailed reviews on the new technology that they offer so I am going to slowly work through everything and keep you guys updated. Keep in mind this is in no way sponsored by Itan and is just my own personal experience.

Beauty Angel (red light therapy) 

    So apparently this is some technology that NASA has been using for years and it is claimed to help reduce wrinkles, scars, acne, improve skin tone, and can even help control pigmentation spots. From my research they have traditional lay down beds and stand ups, I went into one like the picture below. The one at my location has a vibrating floor that has four different levels that is supposed to help stimulate blood flow and work the muscles when you are at a higher level. They recommend that you buy this spray that will help advance your results (I am going to do about two weeks without anything and then with the product and see if there is a reasonable difference). So you walk in, turn on the vibrating floor and hold on to two straps that are at the top of the bed and enjoy a 12 minute session. The bulbs are different then tanning bulbs, you will not gain any kind of tan/burn while in here. 

     So far I have noticed that my skin seems to feel softer and my face is staying clearer, as I continue my treatments I will keep you updated.

Teeth Whitening 

So this is the one service at Itan that you HAVE to buy the extra product for (image to the left). The salon rep recommend that I do three sessions to get the best results and you save money if you purchase all three at the same time. Since I had no idea what to do I asked the girl to show me for my first time. In each kit you get everything you need and do the following:
 


 1. Clean your teeth with a thing that goes on your finger
 2. Snap one end of the qtip which releases vitamin E to rub all over your lips to help with comfort
 3. Insert the tray in your mouth which has good ventilation that allows you to breath and not drool all over yourself
 4. Turn on the machine and lay in the chair, place the light a little away from your teeth and relax for 15 minutes
After two sessions I was able to notice a difference and the best part was that my teeth did not have any sensitivity, an issue that I have had in the past just using the strips you can buy at the store. Overall I would say that its worth it.

Fit Bodywrap

I have done the bodywrap about six times now and can say that I have lost some inches. I tried it a couple times without the booster spray that they recommend and I didn't feel like I sweated as much. I don't know if I believe the amount of calories it says it burns is true but from my experience you definetly sweat your booty off when you are in it. The last 10 minutes are killer but if you power through it you will be happy with the amount of sweat you produce. I am going to try my best to keep going and keep you guys updated on my results.
