"Reports have recently emerged that solariums, or sunbeds – largely banned in
Australia because they increase the risk of skin cancer – are being rebranded
as “collarium” sunbeds (“coll” being short for collagen).
Commercial tanning and beauty salons in Queensland, New South Wales and
Victoria are marketing collariums, with manufacturers and operators claiming
they provide a longer lasting tan and stimulate collagen production, among
other purported benefits.
A collarium sunbed emits both UV radiation and a mix of visible wavelength
colours to produce a pink or red light. Like an old-school sunbed, the user
lies in it for ten to 20 minute sessions to quickly develop a tan.
But as several experts have argued, the providers’ claims about safety and
effectiveness don’t stack up."
