Types Of Tanning Beds
The idea behind tanning beds came from the continent of
Europe in the 1970's. The tanning bed was then imported
to the western world as more people began to immigrate.
In the 20th to 21st century, the use of tanning beds has
doubled in popularity.
Tanning beds can be divided into two different types,
low pressure tanning beds and high pressure tanning
beds. The difference between a low and high pressure
tanning bed is that in low pressure tanning beds, a
fluorescent bulb is used. The low pressure tanning bed
delivers a higher ratio of ultraviolet B light rays (UVB),
when compared to the high pressure tanning beds. The
high pressure tanning beds deliver a higher ration of
ultraviolet A light rays (UVA), when compared to the low
pressure tanning beds.
Ultraviolet A light rays are better for tans because it
penetrates deeper into the skin and allows the tan to
remain longer. Whereas ultraviolet B light rays do not
go deeply into the skin and causing the skin to burn
before a tan can be reached.
The ultraviolet light rays stimulate the cells of the
skin to produce Melanin. Melanin is the pigment in the
skin that is responsible for producing the dark color of
a tan.
The type of tannin bed you use will depend on the
tanning salon you are visiting. However, low pressure
tanning beds are more commonly used than high pressure
beds.
High pressure tanning beds are gaining in popularity as
more and more people switch from low pressure beds. High
pressure beds are preferred by some people because they
have a higher ultraviolet A light rays percentage.
Also more customers might ask if the salon has a high
pressure tanning salon because the time taken to get a
time with a low and high pressure tanning bed is
different. Usually a low pressure tanning bed would need
10-15 sessions to achieve a good tan, whereas a high
pressure tanning bed takes only 3-6 sessions to achieve
a good tan. This means that the person is exposed to
ultraviolet light rays for a shorter period of time.
Some studies have also shown that using a high pressure
tanning bed helps to retain the skin's natural
elasticity and moisture, whereas a low pressure tanning
bed would dry the skin quicker.
In order to save time, energy, and money, you should
research the benefits of using a high pressure tanning
bed for yourself.
