UVB light works using the same type of light as the sun so you can stay indoors in a warm place and still benefit from a bright summer day.

However, it is recommended to consult with your healthcare provider before starting a UV beam therapy routine due to certain factors, such as melanin skin and age which may affect absorption and production rates.
