Collagen Sunbed

Collagen sunbeds, also called red-light or beauty beds, use red and near-infrared light instead of UV, or alongside it. They are chosen for a relaxing, warm session and for how skin looks and feels afterwards, rather than for tanning, and many studios offer them as a UV-free beauty option. What a particular bed can do should come from its manufacturer's documentation, so ask the studio which model it uses before you book.
