It's same UV as of Sun.
Yes, if you do not heavily protect your skin you can get cancer from UV.
It's not need ansas, need answers.
It's because, the normal light cannot diffuse into skin, even if its diffuse, light's energy is not enough to break or alter molecular structures of DNA. But UV has far more energy than light and can break or alter molecular structures of DNA. This MAY cause a cancer on your skin.

Sunscreens protect you from the very type of light sunbeds produce. People use sunscreen not to get skin diseases including, but not limited to, cancer. Other people instead of staying away from UV get into a device that gives them plenty of it.

YES THEY CAN!!!!
And people who use sunbeds would surely deserve it!!!!
Sunbeds have been linked to several types of skin cancer, including malignant melanoma. There is no such thing as a safe tan.

I have been told by the people there at tanning beds that if you have fair skin that you have the risks of getting cancer.
