Default Re: This isn't a HP bed dummies.

Yes yes yes eggplant, Hp is HP. BUT, and I mean a big ole But......when we sell hp or advertise hp, as we have done now for 11 years...we are selling LOW UV-B and no burning.
"Better for your skin", "Less Drying", "less thickening of the skin" etc.

HP lamps in facial have always had much less uv-b than the tubes. Even the old double 400 watt cassettes in the beds would put out about 60 mills on the face but only 1/4 -1/3 the uv-b. So you tan, not burn, on sensitive facial skin.

Now, the mirrored glass, with just one sheet , will actually give you MORE total uv-b.

The Giant Sun (sungate) got its original 8 min tan time because the FACIALS were 8 mins. The tubes rang in at 10 mins but that got the bed an 8 minute rating anyway.

UV-B on a 6.0 meter was over 2. That is damn HIGH B.

So, yes it is true hp, but no it isn't TRUE HP as advertised and known in our industry as a low uv-b.

If we end up with a bunch of beds with 4 meds and 12 min or less sessions with all hp lamps, we will need a whole new explanation.

HPHP High Performance High Pressure......FTHP Fast Tanning High Pressure.
