Cutting Edge Tanning: High Pressure Beds
Filed Under Uncategorized |
If you thought you know the residential tanning bed industry, think again. There’s more to tanning than just your plain, run of the mill beds. The industry is rapidly growing in popularity, and as a result, many manufacturers are devoting money to improving existing technology and developing new ones. The consumer is benefiting from this new research in many ones, and one of these exciting new developments is high pressure tanning.
High pressure tanning beds are at the cutting edge of tanning technology. Unlike another model, the low-intensity residential tanning bed, high pressure tanning beds are effective for every skin type. They are also much safer than their older counterparts. High pressure tanning beds use only ultraviolet A light (UVA rays), and not ultraviolet B light (UVB rays). Most of the high pressure tanning beds available on the market today are equipped with a system to filter out the harmful UVB rays virtually completely.
This new technology is based on a different type of lamp. While old tanning beds used tube lamps coated in phosphor, high pressure tanning beds feature ultraviolet quartz lamps affixed behind special filter glass. These lamps only let certain wavelengths of light pass through and reach the tanner’s skin. An additional level of filtration in these beds also removes most of the light rays in the infrared spectrum. The “high pressure” in this new residential tanning bed type’s name refers to the gases in the lamp: they are a bit above atmospheric pressure, while older lamps were kept a bit below.
One of the most attractive things about the new high pressure tanning beds is that they take much less time than older models to build up and maintain an adequate base tan. Using a high pressure tanning bed, you can achieve a base tan in as few as 3 to 5 sessions. And to maintain your tan, you don’t have to come back twice every week – only two or three times every MONTH!
High pressure tanning beds are available in multiple styles. Most are 180-degree beds, but a bed called the velocity tanning bed is a 360-degree high pressure tanning bed. This bed is the most efficient model available, placing you at the center of maximum tanning power. It uses scientific calculations to angle three separate lamp banks to give you a deep, even tan. If you’re still not convinced about the virtues of high pressure tanning beds, remember that canopies are another benefit available in these new models.
