HIGH PERFORMANCE TANNING
beds virtually tan with only
UVA light, our body is allowed to return to its normal 29-day exfoliation cycle.
High-pressure tanning also tans the second and third layers of skin. So even
when your outer layer of skin exfoliates, the layers of skin beneath it are
still tan.
Finally, UVA light does
not cause the outer layer of skin to thicken, so tanning on our
High Pressure
beds will not contribute to
fine-line wrinkles/premature aging.
High pressure
tanning is the most advanced
way to tan. UVB rays are responsible for burning. Our High
Pressure beds filter out
most UVB rays
Tan Ultra fast!
High pressure beds provide color results immediately! While
low-pressure tanning beds require 10-15 visits to establish a base tan, a
high-pressure bed only requires 3-4 sessions. Maintaining a tan has never been
easier. 2-3 visits a month will sustain the dark golden results you crave.
How do high-pressure
tans last so long?
Tanning is actually the body's natural defense mechanism for protecting itself
from the sun's rays. Normally, the outer layer of skin exfoliates every 28
days. When exposed to UVB rays as in a conventional, low-pressure bed, the body
is forced to exfoliate prematurely every 5-10 days.
This increased exfoliation will take the tan with it, requiring many more visits
to maintain your tan. Those more visits would end up being 3-4 times more
sessions vs. using a High Pressure tanning bed to achieve similar results.
For this reason, conventional tanners must repeat the process
more frequently to keep the outer layer of skin looking brown.
Because the high-pressure system filters out the majority of UVB rays, your skin
can maintain a normal exfoliation process which in turn allows you to keep your
tan much longer!
The Science behind
High Pressure Tanning.
There are two main types of ultraviolet light, UVA and UVB. All
tanning beds use a combination of these two rays which contribute differently to
the tanning process. Tanning takes place in the skin's outermost layer, the
epidermis. When exposed to UVB light, melanocytes located within the epidermis
produce melanin, which cause the skin to darken. When exposed to UVA light, the
melanin oxidizes and causes the skin to darken even further.
High, medium and low-pressure sunbeds use different combinations
of lamps, tubes and/or filter systems. Low and medium-pressure sunbeds use
primarily fluorescent tubes which vary in UV output and wattage. High-Pressure
lamps are smaller in size and can be used as facial lamps or to tan the full
body. High-pressure lamps have a substantially higher output, generally ranging
from 400-1000 watts and require special filter glass.
Can I burn in a
high-pressure tanning bed?
One
of the beautiful things about High Pressure Tanning Systems is that the "burning
rays" are at the barest minimum and the "tanning rays" are tremendously
optimized. This means that the margin of error on our part is huge. The odds of
overexposure are very low. We may still reduce the exposure time by a few
minutes if you are extremely fair skinned or have not tanned in a long while. We
do still recommend that you gradually expose parts of the body not normally
exposed to sunlight.
There is a possibility of overexposure in any bed, although this
is less likely to occur with high-pressure tanning.
