Shower heads do not increase the water pressure coming into your shower.

However a different shower head that uses less water can give you more pressure through the shower head so that you don't have low water pressure coming out the shower head.

What I mean by that is that it makes it seem like there's more pressure coming out of the shower head because the holes in the shower head where the water comes out are smaller.

That gives the shower a bit more pressure per say so that you get a better spray out the shower head and a better shower.

With a bigger flow shower head and lower water pressure the water may not spray out of the shower head properly to give you a good shower.

Choosing a water saving shower head for low water pressure can help give you more spray of water out of the shower head.
