a comparison of tanning sessions needed to tan.

Skin type 4. 3 or 4 visits on vhr = tan. 3 visits hp =tan. Hp tan will last 2wice as long.

skin type 3 cant go full time on vhr so 5 visits for a tan. HP, 3 visits. same results

skin type 2. will need about 6-8 visits on vhr, spaced with two days off between so no itching or rash. HP. Will need 4 to 5. I would mix about 3 base bed tans going just 8 mins or so with a type 2 no base tan FIRST, then do 3 hps for the tan. Type 2's should take off 2 days between sessions to maximize melanin production and eliminate overexposure.

But we really don't compare hp to vhr, we compare it to base beds....and base beds take DOUBLE as long as vhr units to get the same results. And base beds require at least 2 visits a week for maintenence and hp just 3 per month.
