Why is cosmetic dermatology attacking indoor tanning? In their own trade journal they admit tanning's connection to skin cancer is unclear.
And yet, dermatologists treat cosmetic skin conditions with their own UV tanning equipment. They charge up to $100 a session for what tanning salons provide for $5. So is cosmetic dermatology concerned about public safety, or do they just want their multi-billion dollar business back?

This is stupid funny on many different levels,
When we put patients in our phototherapy machines (10 times more sophisticated and expensive compared to any tanning bed) we are exposing them to an exact dose, with an EXACT WAVELENGTH (e.g. 309nm for NB-UVB) and to treat a specific problem. We check their medications, illnesses and family history.
I want to see tanned "Wanda" at the tanning saloon check if the type of porphyria her customer has or her Hydrochlothiazide are safe under UV light.
