    IRON LUNG
    October 12, 1928 - Boston, U.S.A.

    The Iron Lung was used by its first patient, a young girl at the Children's Hospital in Boston. It was an artificial respirator that enabled her to breathe despite being paralyzed by polio. This negative pressure ventilator, invented by a young Harvard doctor, Philip Drinker, was the first widely used device of its kind. From the neck down, the patient's body lay in a sealed galvanized iron box. The 3 x 7 ft, 700-lb apparatus was powered by two household vacuum cleaners. As air was pumped out of the metal box, the patient's lungs drew in air, which was expelled as the air pump cycle next increased pressure, in a cycle to mimic a normal breathing rate.

Dark or Natural
Article written June 1, 2010

As summer approaches we hear more requests from our clients that they want to receive the darkest possible sunless tan. Even though it's June, this sends shivers down our spines. As technicians, we want to accommodate our customers but know that darker shades or over spraying your client is not the answer.

The first thing we need to do is to take a deep cleansing breath. Remember the goal of a sunless tan is to look pretty and natural. Advise your clients that a darker level of solution may not look natural on certain skin tones.

Understanding How DHA Works:
The primary ingredient in all sunless solutions is DHA (Dihydroxyacetone). DHA reacts with the amino acids on the epidermis causing a bronzed color to appear. In other words, DHA adheres to the dead skin cells. As the cells begin to shed so does the DHA attached to it.

All sunless solutions contain a certain percentage of DHA. Professional grade solutions can range anywhere from 5% to 12%. A higher percent of DHA will produce a deeper result. Keep in mind the more DHA concentration in the solution the more the color changes from a golden brown to a red brown.

You cannot apply a deeper color by over-spraying your clients. Skin can only absorb a certain amount of solution in a single session. Over-spraying your clients will only waste your solution. In addition, using too high a percent of DHA on lighter skin will produce an unnatural color and have patchy fading.

Many solutions add a temporary bronzer to their solution. DHA take between 4 to 8 hours to fully develop on the skin. Temporary bronzers allow the technician to see where the solution is being applied and gives the client sees immediate color. The bronzer will wash off during the first shower.

Why Are Sol Potion Solutions Unique:
Our solutions were developed to allow the technician to use as is, or blend any combination of the four levels to personalize a shade for your clients. Many of our salons and spas create their own ?beauty bar of shades. By blending your own shades you can make colors that truly match your client's skin tone making it the most natural looking tan for their skin type. These can be premixed and ready for a client session or prepared at the session.

When you have the flexibility of using the proper colors on your clients, they will love the results and keep coming back for more. This will make you stand out over your competition.
