| As a tanner, you've probably always
been curious about exactly how your skin tans. The process is
really quite simple, and works the same whether you tan indoors
or outdoors. |

| How does "High Pressure"
tanning work? |
Every, living thing sheds (exfoliates)
its outer layer, and we normally exfoliate our outer
layer of skin about every 28 days. Tanning with
UVB light accelerates this cycle to somewhere between
5 and 10 days.
Since UVB light tans only our outer layer of skin
which exfoliates every 5-10 days, we fade if we
let more than just a few days go by between tanning
sessions. Also, in response to UVB, our outer layer
of skin thickens as a natural barrier to further
UVB exposure. It is this thickening that contributes
to the appearance of fine-line wrinkles.Because
OMEGA High Pressure beds tan only with UVA
light, our body is allowed to return to its normal
28 day cycle. High pressure tanning also tans the
2nd and 3rd sub-layers of the epidermis. So even
if your outer layer exfoliates, the layers beneath
are still tan. UVA light does not cause the outer
layer of skin to thicken.
One 20 minute treatment is equivalent to 5-6
treatments in a conventional low pressure bed, or
a whole day in the Caribbean sun (wouldn't that
be nice...) A course of 3-6 treatments will give
you a deep, base tan. To maintain this tan, only
one treatment every 1-2 weeks b necessary. With
high-pressure tanning, you get darker, faster...and
keep it longer!

| What are the advantages
of "High Pressure" tanning? |
|
 |
High-Pressure Tanning is the
safest way to tan |
 |
 |
|
|
|
-
OMEGA sunbeds have
nearly 0% UVB rays.
Compare this to 17.5%
UVB from the sun and
up to 9.0% from conventional
low-pressure tanning
beds.
-
OMEGA high-pressure
sunbeds use only UVA
light. Since there is
virtually no UVB, you
virtually cannot burn
even if you have never
tanned before. In addition,
since you only need
to tan 2-4 times per
month, your overall
exposure to UV light
is greatly reduced.
- Since
UVA does not cause the
outer layer of the skin
to thicken, high-pressure
tanning does not contribute
to fine-line wrinkles
or premature aging.
-
OMEGA equipment
is fully FDA compliant.

High-Pressure Tanning saves time
and money |
|
|
|
|
|
- Instead
of visiting a low-pressure
salon 10-15 times a
month, you can now tan
only 2-4 times a month
to maintain a rich,
golden tan.
- Must
reputable salons with
good quality beds charge
anywhere from $35-$60
per month.
- The
average tanner tans
4-6 months per year,
so chances are that
you are already spending
up to $360 per year
in a conventional bed
2-4 times per week,
or 8-16 times per month.
The same (only safer!)
results can be achieved
by just 2-4 monthly
sessions in an OMEGA
sunbed. The average
cost of a high-pressure
tanning session is approximately
$23.00, and this cost
can be greatly reduced
through the purchase
of larger tanning packages.
Although it is more
per visit, it is less
expensive in the long
run. For what you are
paying at a conventional
salon for 6 months,
you could tan year round
on a high-pressure bed.
- Fewer
sessions reduces the
amount of tanning lotion
you use.

In
the OMEGA sunbed,
all of the UV light
comes from the top of
the unit (the wrap around
canopy.) You tan for
10 minutes on your back,
and then turn over for
the remaining 10 minutes.
This makes the tanning
experience much less
like the artificial
tanning and much more
like sunbathing at the
beach.
-
When
in an OMEGA sunbed,
you will be relaxing
on a large contoured
mattress as opposed
to the acrylic surface
of a traditional tanning
bed.

| What to expect... |
| Everyone's skin tans and reacts
to ultraviolet light differently, in general, most
people achieve a base tan in 3 sessions in the
OMEGA High Pressure Bed. People who are hard
to tan, or who previously damaged their skin by
overexposing it to the sun may require up to 6 sessions.
We recommend that your visits be scheduled at least
48 hours apart, but no more than 3-4 days apart.
To maintain your tan, we recommend 2-4 sessions
per month. You may tan more often if you wish, and
it will not be harmful to your skin. You MAY experience
redness or tingling during or after your session(s),
but this is heat retention and is not sunburn. You
WILL NOT bum, peel, blister, etc. You will minimize
your chances of skin irritation if you tan without
any chemicals on your body, and use only products
recommended by New Life.
