Reduv:Another good question.The first reason for the question is that you, the tanning salon owner, want to know whether or not they have psoriasis. Then, you can talk intelligently with them about their (perhaps) primary reason for tanning.If you don't know why they are tanning, how can you help them? (See my post "Why Do People Tan?" in the general section.)Aloe vera based lotions are thought to be helpful for clients with psoriasis and they will usually routinely use a lotion (which you can sell them).We have one SunDash 32P sunbed with Wolff Biosun II lamps in one of our salons that we use for our clients with psoriasis whenever possible. It has higher UVB (280 - 320 nm) and these are the wavelengths of choice in the treatment of psoriasis. That does not mean that your clients with psoriasis won't show improvement in a regular sunbed; just not as much.Hope this helps.Don
