How do sunbeds work?

Sunbeds emit ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which stimulates the skin to produce melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color. This results in a tan. However, UV radiation from sunbeds can also damage the skin and increase the risk of skin cancer and premature aging. It is important to use sunbeds cautiously and limit exposure to UV radiation.
