Abstract

A single application of 1% hydrogen peroxide in a stabilized lipid cream during 2 min before UVA exposure prevents white spots in anoxic pressure areas in sunbed use, causing an almost normal pigmentation. During maintenance exposure with UVA once a week this pigmentation will remain unchanged if the pressure areas are pretreated with hydrogen peroxide before each irradiation. White spots will appear 3-4 weeks after finishing hydrogen peroxide pretreatment in the pressure areas thus exposed to UVA alone.
