What type of UV light is used in tanning beds, and why is it so dangerous?

Answer

Answer:

Tanning beds primarily use UVA light, often at a higher concentration than sunlight. UVA penetrates multiple layers of skin and can age the skin and increase the risk of skin cancer. Some tanning beds also emit UVB light.
