Are tanning beds better than tanning booths?
Although this argument can rage between advocates of either tanning option it is important to remember that one aspect is common. bacteria thrive in either environment and as a responsible self tanner you need to make sure that all tanning equipment surfaces have been disinfected before you use the appliance.
Tanning booths stand apart by the higher power output in the reflecting UVA lamps. This means that technically speaking, tanning booths need 160 watt lamps, which are significantly more powerful than those used by tanning beds. This is also the reason for which, the sessions are five or ten minutes shorter in the booth, which could really matter for one who cannot afford to waste any time at all.
One of the advantages of tanning booths was only discovered when the presence of the pressure points came under debate. When lying on a bed, a person's body gets areas where the blood flow is reduced. The consequence of this unevenness is irregular tanning, but the chances for such an accidental skin look are significantly reduced with tanning booths.
What clients find more upsetting is the higher costs for the tanning booths services, as not anyone can afford to pay double or triple three times a week. This is also the reason why the number of the tanning beds is significantly higher, as not all salons invest in more expensive devices.
Generally speaking, tanning booths fall under the same category as other tanning equipments: they have the same health risks and the national regulations apply similarly. Even if the time spent in tanning booths is a bit reduced, the exposure to ultraviolets is not completely safe, and the potential hazards are amplified by the prior existence of some skin problem left undetected until the tanning session. Therefore, people should be more careful with their body, as good looks are not worth getting at the expense of personal health.
