High and Low Pressure
Tanning Bed Comparison
Even though tanning beds have been used for
several decades by the general public, many
developments in the quality and technology of
the beds have been made in recent years.
Features have been added to the tanning bed such
as those that target facial tanning, arm and
side tanning and leg tanning. In addition, many
comfort features have been added such as stereo
speakers that the tanner can use to listen to
her favorite music while passing the time in the
tanning bed. This creates a relaxing atmosphere
while tanning that can make the experience more
enjoyable and less boring.
There are two primary types of tanning beds;
these are the low pressure tanning beds and the
high pressure tanning beds. Other kinds of
tanning beds exist, but they are not nearly as
popular.
Most tanning bed users are more familiar with
the low pressure tanning beds because they are
the ones that are most often used at the tanning
salons. The more traditional low pressure
fluorescent tubes are used in these beds which
are very similar to natural sunlight. When a
person tans in the indoor low pressure tanning
beds, it is almost like tanning outdoors in
natural sunlight. Due to this similarity, many
people believe that the low pressure tanning
beds are safer and healthier than the high
pressure tanning beds.
A major difference between the low pressure and
high pressure tanning beds is that the high
pressure beds use the high pressure quartz
lamps. A higher percentage of UVA rays is
emitted from these high pressure quartz lamps,
and it is the UVA rays that are the tanning
rays. Less UVB rays are emitted from the high
pressure lamps. Advantages to more UVA rays and
less UVB rays is that tanning is achieved on a
quicker basis, in fact six to eight times
faster, and there is less chance for sunburn
since it is the UVB rays that can cause
sunburns.
