What is High Pressure Tanning?

The high pressure tanning system uses "high pressure" quartz lamps as opposed to "low pressure"
conventional fluorescent tubular lamps. High pressure tanning is able to provide a faster, deeper
longer lasting tan than conventional tanning with a greatly reduced risk of sunburn.

How does High Pressure Tanning Work?

Humans normally exfoliate (shed) their skin about every 28 days. Constant exposure to UVB light in
conventional tanning beds accelerates this cycle to somewhere between 7 to 10 days. Since UVB
light tans only your outer layer of skin which exfoliates every 7 to 10 days, your tan fades if left more
than just a few days go by between tanning sessions. Also, in response to UVB, your outer layer of
skin thickens as a natural barrier to further UVB exposure.

High pressure beds tan with virtually 100% UVA rays, allowing your skin to return to its normal 28 day
cycle. High pressure tanning also tans deeper, so even as your other layer exfoliates, the layer
beneath is still tan. Simply put, UVA is a deeper penetrating ray than UVB. Unlike UVB that hardly
penetrates deep into the levels of elasticine and collagen, the connective tissue of the skin. With
almost pure UVA which is the bronzing ray you will achieve a deep dark tan with out burning because
of little UVB the redding and burning ray.

High pressure lamps increase the amount of energy that is released so that the tanning process is
triggered in much less time. One 20 minute session in our Ultrabronz Indulgence bed could be
compared to 5 to 8 sessions in a conventional low pressure bed.

A series of just 3 to 6 sessions depending on skin type, will give you a deep, natural tan. To
maintain this tan, only one or two sessions every few weeks is all that will be necessary to maintain
your tan. With high pressure tanning, you can get a darker, faster tan, and keep it longer!

Advantages of High Pressure Tanning

Saves time: Fewer sessions are necessary in a high-pressure sunbed to achieve & maintain a
beautiful, dark tan. Think of all the valuable, personal time you'll be saving.

Fewer sessions: Means less overall exposure to ultraviolet radiation.

Save money: You will achieve your tan in just 3 to 5 sessions and your tan will last 3 to 4 times
longer, so you will save time and money by not having to tan as often.

Relaxing: In the Ultrabronz bed, all the UV rays come from the top of the unit. You tan for 10
minutes lying on your back, and then turn over for the remaining 10 minutes, which makes for a total
of a 20 minute session. The entire session allows for a relaxing "massage" on the mattress of the
bed. Choose from several different speeds, patterns and strengths - total "Indulgence".

Comfortable: When tanning in the Ultrabronz bed, you will be relaxing on a large contoured
mattress as you tan your body one side at a time. Tanning one side at a time reduces overall heat
as well as the possibility of pressure marks. Our Ultrabronz Indulgence includes an optional
massage as opposed to the hard acrylic surface of a traditional low pressure bed.

Cool: Our High Pressure tanning units is cooled with built in cooling systems. There is very little
perspiration.
