What's so great about High Pressure?!
High Pressure lamps block out almost all UVB (or 'burning rays') virtually eliminating the risk of getting sunburn. UVA rays (or the 'tanning rays') penetrate further for a deeper, darker, longer lasting tan allowing for more time in between sessions. UVA also produces more of a brown color, instead of the reddish-pink tan that is common from UVB.
Since High Pressure allows tanners to tan without burning and to tan less often, High Pressure is often thought to be much less damaging to the skin. High Pressure was first used just above the face, as shown in the Fiesta (above) and the Orbit (left), where signs of aging are more predominant.
Because of the convenience and great results provided by High Pressure tanning lamps they are now incorporated throughout the entire bed. The Omega (right) is completely High Pressure, and the Ultra Classic 650 (below) is a combination of High Pressure and traditional tanning lamps. While they are more expensive per session, they are intended for only 3-4 sessions per month to maintain your tan!
