This is wrong. Every tanning lamp made has both UVA and UVB. Typically lower level beds will have about 5 to 7% UVB and be 100-120W. Bigger, more expensive beds tend to be lower UVB, higher wattage, shorter session time. Typically about 2 to 4% UVB, 160-200W.

Most lower level beds will have UVA only but when you get to high level bed like level 6 they usually have a combo of both 

Tanning beds use UVA light, which penetrates the skin more deeply than UVB rays

UVA + UBV. In the hopes of achieving a better tan, more sun beds generate both types of UV light. The reason for this is that UVA rays are responsible for making our skin look more tan as they get deeper into the skin, but UVB rays bring melanin to the surface, which causes our tan to be noticeable.

thanks wondering about the uvb and uva tho

Go see the other post asking this same thing

i recently started using beds (i work in a tanning salon and get it for free and it helps with my acne) and was just wondering, what’s the safest way to use the tanning bed? i know that might sound stupid because i know there isn’t a “safe” way you can tan, i understand the risks and won’t be tanning for the rest of my life but if i do decide to tan once or twice a week what is my best option. we have beds with high pressure lamps which i belive is UVA rather than UVB, which one if either is considered “safer”? i use a lotion and a small amount of spf on my face. should i keep it at once a week? lower the level the better or high level shorter minutes? thanks
