UVB Tanning Beds

  • Despite the fast tan obtained from UVA beds, the most popular tanning units in salons are the UVB tanning beds. The UVB tanning beds contain about 93% UVA rays and 7% UVB rays. Although the UVB ray is the “burning” ray, indoor tanning sessions are timed based on the tanner’s skin type and UV experience. Most first-time tanners are recommended to go the lowest amount of time to prevent burning. Once they start to develop a tan, they can tan for longer amounts of time. Most people need about 7-10 tanning sessions to develop a deep, dark tan in either a UVB bed or booth.
