UV Tanning
Collagen Boosting Hybrid Tanning Now Available in select level 3-4 beds!
Experience the best of both worlds at Chili Pepper’s Tanning & Wellness! Our revolutionary hybrid tanning combines premium UV light with collagen-boosting red light therapy (at 633nm) for a natural, radiant tan while supporting collagen and elastin production. The UV component not only tans your skin but also helps optimize vitamin D production and circulation for a vibrant glow. As we age, our collagen levels decrease, leading to wrinkles, sagging and other signs of aging. Collagen red light therapy may help improve skin appearance by increasing collagen synthesis, blood circulation and reducing inflammation.

Level 2
Level 2 is a beginning level. As a result, it emits the most UVB rays, which take the longest to show color. These rays do not go as skin deep, so they also do not last as long on the skin. This is typically a 15-minute bed that offers the MOST UVB and very little UVA. Level 2 typically offers a bed or stand up option and gives you a bit less UVB and more UVA rays so you are able to see your color more quickly. Check out our spray tanning options for a UV-free glow.
Level 3
Level 3 is most comparable to the natural sun. This level has a great mixture of UVA and UVB to give you the base tan you need, as well as the color you want. Level 3 is going to offer you more UVA and less UVB compared to level 2 and gives you the best base tan. This is the perfect level for preparing for vacations or being outdoors.
Level 4
Level 4 is a medium-high pressure level that offers more UVA and less UVB when compared to lower levels. Tanning in a level 4 is the equivalent to tanning in a lower level anywhere from 2-3 times in 1 single session - due to the intensity, shorter sessions are typical. Level 4 provides a good base tan with deeper skin penetration, resulting in a longer-lasting color.
Level 5
Level 5 is a high-pressure level that offers the most UVA and the least amount of UVB. High-pressure lamps go the most skin-deep and delivers the darkest and longest-lasting tan. Moreover, the beds and stand-ups at this level have high-pressure bulbs that penetrate deeper into the skin, providing the darkest results in the shortest time. Tanning in a level 5 is the equivalent to tanning in a lower level anywhere from 2-3 times in 1 single session - due to the intensity, very short sessions are typical.
