    Glossary Term

    MED (Minimal Erythemal Dose)

    The Minimal Erythemal Dose (MED) is a measurement term: the smallest dose of UV that produces just-visible reddening of a particular person's skin about 24 hours later. It varies from person to person with skin type. It is used in UV equipment standards and by manufacturers when they set the output and session tables of their sunbeds. At MEGATAN Studio, session lengths are set by our team at your consultation.
