Euro Bronze and the European Tanning Connection
In 1903 a German medical company discovered indoor tanning lamps. Tanning beds now are not very different from when they were introduced in 1978 by Friedrich Wolff. However, the introduction of high-pressure, low-UVB beds have allowed users to get desired results in shorter times, and without as much risk of sunburn. These new beds set a precedent in the tanning industry. Although high-pressure tanning has thrived in Europe for more than a decade, it is now just being fully explored in the United States.

The Euro Bronze Philosophy: Our Commitment to You As the only salon in Chico to feature all high-pressure tanning beds, we are committed to providing the most updated and state-of-the-art tanning equipment and supplemental tanning accessories. Our professionals strive to offer unparalleled relaxation and pampering, while fulfilling our mission to maximize the benefits of indoor tanning and ensuring the guest’s health, safety and special needs.

The Euro Bronze High-Pressure Difference
All tanning beds are not the same! High-pressure tanning beds filter out 99.5 percent of UVB (the ray responsible for sunburns) – leaving you with a faster, darker, longer-lasting tan. High-pressure lamps increase the amount of energy that is released so that the tanning process is triggered in much less time. One 24-minute is equivalent to five to eight sessions in a conventional low-pressure bed or a whole day in the Caribbean sun.

High-pressure Tanning Saves Time and Money
Your high-pressure tan will last three to four times longer, so you will save time and money:

  • Average monthly cost for a low-pressure: $45, vs. high-pressure $50
  • Average number of visits for a low-pressure: 12, vs. high-pressure two
  • Average cost for six months: $270, vs. $300
  • Average cost for one year: $540, vs. $600

Risks of Indoor Tanning
There are fewer risks than the outdoor experience due to the control the consumer has over commercial indoor tanning beds. Timed sessions, protective eye wear, and temperature control are among the pros to indoor tanning. Tanning beds emit UV rays, much like the sun does. Tanning beds use tanning lamps that emit these rays only UV-A or UV-B rays though. The other kind, UV-C, is more harmful to your skin. As you begin your tanning sessions, you'll sit under tanning beds under the guide of a Euro Bronze tanning professional. The lamps will stimulate melanin in your skin and as part of a reaction to protect your body from further sun; your skin will turn a darker.
