What is the difference between low pressure and high pressure equipment?
Low pressure units emit both UVA & UVB at a lower energy level. Low pressure units are the traditional beds you normally think of when you think of tanning beds. To build your base tan in low pressure units, you’ll usually start off with about of the recommended maximum tanning time and increase by a minute or two with subsequent visits*. High pressure units give you immediate results. By filtering out the UVB rays (burning rays), you can tan quickly without burning. Manufacturers normally recommend 3 sessions within 7-10 days in order to build your base in a high pressure unit and then 1 – 3 sessions a month to maintain it. With both low pressure and high pressure equipment it’s important to allow 24 hours to pass between tanning sessions. We recommend allowing 2 days in between sessions whenever time allows.
