For instantaneous color results only true high-pressure tanning can provide, the Ultrabronz 950 series is your choice.
The 18-minute Ultrabronz bed is the ultimate tanning experience. A unique filter system allows most of the UVB rays to be filtered out, using just enough to stimulate the melanin leaving the UVA rays to darken the skin. The low percentages of UVB decrease the chance of burning tremendously. This system allows you to receive immediate results that last longer. You will get all of this while resting on a plush comfortable mattress one side at a time.

UNDERSTANDING HIGH PRESSURE
There are two main types of ultraviolet light, UVA and UVB. All tanning beds use a combination of these two rays, which contribute differently to the tanning process.

Tanning takes place in the skins outermost layer, the epidermis. When exposed to UVB light, melanocytes located within the epidermis produce melanin, which causes the skin to redden. When exposed to UVA light, the melanin oxidizes and causes the skin to darken to a deep golden brown.

High-pressure bulbs are much smaller in size than regular tanning bulbs. A unique filter system allows the Omega to filter out most of the UVB rays, using just enough to stimulate the melanin leaving the UVA rays to darken the skin.

Tanning is actually the body's natural defense mechanism for protecting against the sun's rays. Normally, the outer layer of skin exfoliates every 28 days but when exposed to high concentrations of UVB rays; the body is forced to exfoliate prematurely every 5-10 days. This is why low-pressure tanners must tan more frequently to keep the outer layer of their skin looking brown.

Because high-pressure filters out most of the UVB rays, your skin is able to maintain normal exfoliation every 28 days, which in turn allows your skin to stay tan much longer!
