question about tanning beds?

what's the difference between a high pressure bed and a low pressure bed?

Answer:

Hey! So the difference between a high pressure bed and a low pressure bed is that the high pressure bed has stronger bulbs and UVA rays. This causes you to get tanner much faster and you burn less. A lower pressure bed does not have as strong of bulbs, and therefor you are in the tanning bed for a longer period of time. It also is much more easier to burn since you are in the bed for twice as long.So why doesn't everyone use high-pressure tanning beds? Some experts believe the high ratio of UVA to UVB isn't safe. UVA can still damage the skin and cause some forms of skin cancer, it can also damage the skin's elasticity. Most importantly, however, high-pressure tanning doesn't help at all with the one major health benefit of tanning - vitamin D production. To encourage vitamin D a higher percentage of UVB is needed, as is delivered with low-pressure tanning beds. :] :]
High pressure beds are stronger and will get you tanner faster.
