High Pressure lamps deliver more tanning power that virtually eliminate the risk of burning. HP lamps develop a faster, deeper, darker, longer-lasting tan, allowing for more time in between sessions. High Pressure also produces a rich brown color, instead of the reddish-pink tint that is common from traditional tanning beds.

Since High Pressure virtually eliminates burning and lessens the need to tan frequently, High Pressure is often thought to be much less damaging to the skin, which is why High Pressure lamps were first introduced above the facial area (as in the Tropical, above left, and the Orbit, above right) where signs of aging are most predominant. High Pressure also leaves your skin natural and soft as compared to the thickening effect that traditional low pressure lamps deliver.
