Tanning. Just as the inventor intended.

Light is life! The earliest advanced cultures
worshipped the sun as the central
deity and the Greeks already recognized
the health promoting nature of light. But
it was not until the discovery of UV rays in
the 19th century that light was first used
successfully for medical purposes.
From then onwards, light and its positive
effects became a matter for the general
interest. |
Friedrich Wolff |
Nevertheless, it was not until 1975 that
Friedrich Wolff succeeded in “taming” the
power of the sun and controlling its use.
His solution: by mounting a special UV
fluorescent tube in a tanning bed fitted
with an ingenious reflector system, he
was able to generate light rays in a similar
wavelength to those of the sun. For
the first time, it became possible to administer
a dosed exposure evenly over
the entire body. The modern solarium was
born in Germany and the triumph of the
new technology quickly spread around
the world. Initially, the primary interest was in the
pure medical aspects, such as the treatment
of vitamin D deficiencies and the
relief of skin irritations. Today, it is the
wellness trend that is driving the markets:
a healthy appearance and the self
confidence of feeling good about yourself
are the demands of our time. Demands
thatWolff System, as the inventor of the
modern tanning bed, particularly feels
responsible for. We invest constantly in
scientific research and the technological
development of new quality tubes. This
is one reason our position in the segment
is so distinct: quality, reliability, and efficiency
in the service of health and vitality
– all synonymous with the name Wolff
System. | | | |
