High pressure tanning is an exciting new alternative to traditional indoor tanning. The high pressure tanning system uses "high pressure" quartz lamps as opposed to "low pressure" conventional fluorescent tubular lamps. High pressure tanning is able to provide a faster, deeper longer lasting tan than conventional tanning, with a greatly reduced risk of sunburn.

Humans normally exfoliate (shed) their skin about every 28 days. Constant exposure to UVB light in conventional tanning beds accelerates this cycle to somewhere between 5 to 10 days. Since UVB light tans only your outer layer of skin which exfoliates every 5 to 10 days, your tan fades if you let more than just a few days go by between tanning sessions. Also, in response to UVB, your outer layer of skin thickens as a natural barrier to further UVB exposure.

High pressure beds tan with virtually 100% UVA rays, allowing your skin to return to its normal 28 day cycle. High pressure tanning also tans deeper, so even as your outer layer exfoliates, the layer beneath is still tan.

High pressure lamps increase the amount of energy that is released so that the tanning process is triggered in much less time. One 30-minute treatment could be compared to 8-12 sessions in a conventional low pressure bed, or a whole day in the Caribbean sun.

Sunsport High Pressure Taning Bed

A series of 3 to 4 sessions at Bask will give you a deep, natural tan. To maintain this tan, only one or two sessions per month is necessary. With high pressure tanning, you can get a darker, faster tan, and keep it longer!

Saves time: Fewer sessions needed.

Fewer sessions: Means less overall exposure to ultraviolet radiation.

Saves money: Your tan will last 3-4 times longer, so you will save time and money by not having to tan as often.

Relaxing: In the Sunsport sunbed, all of the UV rays come from the top of the unit (the wrap around canopy). You tan for 10-15 minutes lying on your back, and then turn over for the remaining 10-15 minutes. This makes the tanning experience less like artificial tanning and much more like sunbathing at the beach.

Comfortable: When in a Sunsport sunbed, you will be relaxing on a large contoured mattress as opposed to the acrylic surface of a traditional low pressure bed. This does away with pressure marks and lines under the arms.

Cool: The Sunsport sunbed has a built in cooling system. There is a dual-speed body-cooling fan at the base of the bed which you can adjust to blow cool air over your entire body. There is very little perspiration and you get no unpleasant tanning smell.
