Dutch term or phrase: opbouwen van een kuur

Query: Is 'kuur' translated as a tanning cure/tanning regime or something else.
Context:
Bij het opbouwen van een kuur op zonneapparatuur kan het beste uitgegaan worden van de aanbevelingen van de Nederlandse Gezondheidsraad (Rapport van 1986 aangevuld met correcties van 1993). Deze aanbevelingen zijn zodanig opgesteld, dat nog veel mogelijkheden aanwezig zijn om verschillende zonnekuren op te bouwen

tanning programme

Explanation:
I would say "tanning programme" if it's for cosmetic use, and "treatment programme/plan" if the solarium is being used for reasons of health.

tanning treatment (set up/establish)

Explanation:
Rather than "cure" or "regime" I would say "treatment", because in fact the skin undergoes light treatment in order to induce tanning.

"Just think of the convenience of your very own sunbed.
No more ringing for apointments, travelling or queuing at a commercial shop.
You'll have regular treatments in the privacy of your own home whenever you want them."
