will be nice to see if they have some more recent news...
got this write up in the mail this weekend:
Solei Systems is a company positioned for large profits in the growing tanning bed industry.
Here are some statistics on it's growth, which point to further expansion for tanning beds:
In a survey of over 30,000 adults called the National Health Interview Survey, the following results were reported on indoor tanning:
8% of people 65 or older regularly tanned indoors
10% of people 50-60 years old
14% of people 40-49 years old
17% of people 30-39 years old
20% of people 18-29 years old
The trend is obvious, as our culture becomes increasingly superficial and people strive to mirror models in magazines and on T.V.; services that faciliate this appearence stand in line for steady growth. No matter what your standpoint is on it morally, there is no denying that tanning beds will continue to recieve an increased share of the market. Solei is in line to benefit from this in a big way, read below for how Solei is positioned in the tanning bed market:
About SOLI
Solei consists of three divisions, Intelligent Tanning Systems: (ITS), Light Therapy Systems (LTS) and BioScience Systems, Inc. Paul Spivak, the Founder and CEO of Solei Systems, was the founder of Magic Tan, the world's number one UV free spray tanning Company. Solei Systems is also unique in that all of their machines and equipment are manufactured in-house which greatly reduces costs and dramatically increases efficiency at all levels.
Intelligent Tanning Systems (ITS) manufactures patented state-of-the-art sunless tanning machines and equipment that offer the smoothest, most luxurious tan that clients have been searching for. Another machine, made in-house by Solei is already being sold in Europe offers an automatic sun block spray that covers all exposed skin. These machines are unique and are the only ones of their kind in the world today. ITS tanning machines and equipment are ultra-violet (UV) free. In today's world, there is a great deal of concern regarding overexposure to ultra-violet radiation. UV rays have been linked to skin cancer and pre-mature wrinkling. Designed for comfort, quality and convenience, these affordable sunless tanning systems feature strikingly attractive designs. ITS sunless tanning booths use a linear motion application system that guarantees smooth, even application of solution resulting in a flawless golden tan in less than one minute. Overall, ITS has one patent on the sunless machine and 2 patents along with 4 pending patents on the revolutionary new LED tanning technology. The LED tanning machine adjusts the level of the tan to their skin type automatically through a microprocessor controlled skin sensor.
Light Therapy Systems (LTS) is a research and development company that manufactures commercial phototherapy equipment for skin care applications to the health, beauty, and medical industries. Light Emitting Diode Phototherapy: Mono-Chromatic Photo Light Therapy at specific wavelengths and has been proven to treat a number of skin disorders by NASA and other research institutes throughout the world. The product line includes patent pending equipment that utilizes clinically research-proven high-power light-emitting diodes (LED) light therapy technology for a variety of health and medical applications. LED therapy is a non-invasive procedure that activates skin cells with pulses of highly specialized mono-chromatic, non-thermal light energy. LED therapy converts light energy within the skin cells, like photosynthesis, which takes sunlight and converts it into food energy in plants. The company uses Philips Luxeon K2 LEDs, the most robust and powerful LEDs available. With this technology, Light Therapy Systems has developed the following professional grade equipment: Skin-Rejuvenation facial Wrinkle and Hand Treatment which is unique , Skin-Refining Acne Treatment, Skin-Smoothing infrared Cellulite Treatment and Advanced LED Light Therapy Treatment for Seasonal Affective Disorder. While many methods exist to decrease the effects of aging on most parts of the body, only LED treatment has been proven to work on hands as well. Light Therapy Systems also has its own line of lotions and solutions, which are designed to complement and work in tandem with its phototherapy treatment equipment. LTS systems are liquid cooled unlike competitor's systems; this makes them far more efficient and longer lasting.
BioScience Systems, Inc. has a number of advanced and patented non-invasive medical LED technologies:
Non-Invasive Glucose Monitoring: Soon the days of painful glucose monitoring will be a thing of the past! Bioscience Systems radical approach to this lifelong affliction is what diabetic patients, the world over, have been waiting for. Now, high powered LEDs can non-invasively monitor and warn diabetic patients of undesirable glucose levels.
Non-Invasive Amniocentesis Testing: Amniocentesis is a very risky test to analyze the liquid (amniotic fluid) that surrounds the baby (fetus). Amniotic fluid contains cells and other substances that can give clues about the baby's health and to determine whether the baby has certain types of birth defects. Amniocentesis can also determine the sex of the baby. It is done by inserting a long needle through the abdomen into the uterus. Approximately 2 Tbsp(30 mL) of the amniotic fluid is collected and examined.
