I have searched everywhere but there doesn't seem to be any reputable sources on the subject, other than sun tanning companies which I don't trust. I am interested in getting this done at a spa but I am worried this treatment may have some consequences e.g. long term skin damage. I have taken extreme care of my skin from the sun since I was a teen, so I don't want to ruin my progress by doing something that may damage it. Are there any negative consequences? Is there UV etc., in this treatment?
