    Glossary Term

    UV Exposure

    UV exposure means ultraviolet light reaching the skin, from the sun or a sunbed. UVA makes up most of the UV from the sun and from modern sunbeds, while UVB is the part most associated with sunburn. The UV output of a sunbed is capped by law in the UK (0.3 W/m²), and at MEGATAN Studio your session length is set by our team at your consultation.
