Learn about Low
Pressure Tanning Beds
The low pressure tanning beds are the types
that are most often found in tanning salons. The
main reason for this is that most tanning
experts believe the low pressure tanning beds
are much safer and healthier than the high
pressure tanning beds because they are more like
the natural sunlight. The low pressure
fluorescent tubes that are utilized in these
beds have a UVA-UVA ratio very similar to that
of the sunlight, thus these bed can be more
similarly compared to the natural sunlight. The
low pressure bronzing bulbs contained in the
beds normally emit a UVA to UVB ratio of 97-94%
UVA to 3-6% UBA.
The higher UVB elements is the primary benefit
that the low pressure tanning beds has over the
high pressure tanning beds. Since UVB is
extremely important for Vitamin D production,
that is the benefit of the higher UVB element.
On the other hand, UVB is also responsible for
sunburns.
A person's general health is in part depending
on Vitamin D because it provides increased
immunity to diseases and disorders such as heart
attack, stroke, osteoporosis, as well as breast,
prostate and colon cancers.
The tanning effects of low pressure tanning beds
is not as beneficial as high pressure because it
takes longer to develop a tan. Therefore, it
will require more tanning sessions (meaning more
time and money) to obtain and maintain a tan.
The tanning rays are the UVA rays which oxidize
the melanin in the skin, which is what creates
that healthy golden appearance. A tan can be
produced six to eight times faster with high
pressure tanning beds that with low pressure
tanning bulbs because the higher pressure beds
have a higher UVA to UVB ratio. A deeper tan is
also achieved with a high pressure bed and it
also lasts longer because the reduced UVB rays
do not dry out the skin as much and cause the
skin to shed or peel.
