The True High Pressure Tanning Bed in Tampa
High Pressure Beds vs. Low Pressure Beds
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 causes the skin to redden. When exposed to UVA light, the melanin oxidizes and causes the skin to darken to a deep golden brown.
Low-pressure beds are equipped with fluorescent type tubes, which emit high amounts of UVB rays. High-pressure bulbs are much smaller in size and can be used to tan the face and the full body. A unique filter system allows High Pressure beds to filter out most of the UVB rays, using just enough to stimulate the melanin leaving the UVA rays to darken the skin.
Why do you have to tan less often with a high pressure bed?
Tanning is actually the body's natural defense mechanism for protecting against the sun's rays. Normally, the outer layer of skin exfoliates every 28 days but when exposed to high concentrations of UVB rays, the body is forced to exfoliate prematurely every 5-10 days. This is why low-pressured tanners must tan more frequently to keep the outer layer of their of their skin looking brown.
Because the High Pressure Velocity Bed filters out most of the UVB rays, your skin is able to maintain normal exfoliation, which in turn allows your skin to stay tan much longer!
