Lasers used during therapy sessions are quite powerful, and any light that hits the skin carries the risk of mutating cells and causing melanomas.

What tans the body other than sun?
The sun produces ultraviolet light, UV light, which reacts with the skins pigments, causing them to change colour. Sun burn comes when the pigments in the skin are burnt, and damaged, causing the inflimation, and redness. Basically, anything with UV lights will cause tanning. Also, be careful with sun beds, high melanoma (skin cancer) risk.
Dark skin protects you from the tropical sun and produces more vitamin d then light skin?
Light skin exposed to tropical sun will produce more vitamin D than dark skin, because the UV light is less filtered by the pigment melanin. That is why a light skinned person only needs a few minutes of tropical sun each day to get enough Vitamin D. Any more than that is only increasing the risk of skin cancer. The skin darkens to try to protect you from UV radiation.
Why does a person with red hair and light complexion have a higher risk of getting skin cancer?
People with light complexions have less skin pigmentation. Skin pigmentation absorbs ultraviolet radiation and protects your DNA from damage from the sun. If you have less pigmentation and less protection for your DNA you are more likely to get skin cancer. This is why it is recommended that you should wear sunscreen.
