A technique popularized in Rio de Janeiro that uses special adhesive insulating tape to create perfect, accentuated bikini tan lines on your body.
Tanning tape, an adhesive insulating tape, is what creates the signature "tape tan line." It's placed on your skin in the shape of a bikini, so when your session is over and the tape comes off, you're left with a sharp, symmetrical, beautifully defined line: the look Brazilian beaches made famous.
Understanding what happens in your skin is how we keep every session safe and every result beautiful.
Tanning beds use ultraviolet light. Shorter UVB waves stay near the surface and help the body make vitamin D. Longer UVA waves travel deeper into the skin, and over time are also responsible for photoaging.
Your genetics set how much pigment, called melanin, your skin has. It decides how quickly you tan and how easily you burn, and it shields your skin from the sun. That's why every session is timed to you.
When skin absorbs UV light, it makes more melanin to protect its cells. The melanin rises toward the surface, and you see a deeper bronze. Redness or burning means too much, which a tailored session is designed to avoid.
Every skin tans differently, so every session is made for you. Here's what happens from the moment you walk in.
We ask how your skin usually reacts to the sun and go over a short health checklist, so your session is safe for you.
Pick the shape you want, from your favorite bikini to something custom. We apply the tape precisely, with crisp, even edges.
Your time in the professional UVA bed is timed for your skin, aiming for a deep bronze while keeping you from burning.
We remove the tape to show your new lines, and send you home with aftercare tips to keep your glow longer.
