Prestige Lightvision
Prestige Lightvision stands for an intensive tanning performance with skin caring Radiance Complete. Over 200 Radiance LEDs care for the skin and improve tanning results through stimulated oxygen production. The innovative light technology is certified by Medical Active.
Depending on the studio philosophy, there are two facial tanner technologies to choose from: Ultra Performance Plus for intensive direct pigmentation or Smart Light Performance (SLP) with an additional Radiance component for a particularly long-lasting, natural tan. Personal Sunstyle offers a desired tan at the touch of a button. Of course, Ergoline's top model is always equipped with a complete comfort package that leaves nothing to be desired. Pure luxury!
Sunrise 7200
With Vibra Shape, tanning on the Sunrise simultaneously becomes a fitness session. Vibra Shape simulates 20,000 steps in just 10 minutes! Vibration training has a number of positive effects on fitness. It supports muscle building, stimulates fat burning, tightens connective tissue and promotes mobility and body coordination.
The improved supply of oxygen to the skin also intensifies the tanning effect. The choice of four different training programs and a joint-gentle, side-alternating vibration make Vibra Shape the ideal training. Make the Sunrise your personal trainer for - in a 100% completely private environment.
Affinity 700
The Ergoline Affinity 700 guarantees a sunny break! Its striking lines, attention-grabbing LED Light Show and brightly lit tanning tunnel invite you to relax and sunbathe.
On the body, 46 UV lamps with new Advanced Performance technology enable a significantly improved tanning performance compared to the predecessor models. In the facial area, Ultra Performance Plus technology with 3 facial tanners and 2 additional UVB spaghettis guarantees a 0.3-optimised tanning performance.
