What is the process called when inside a tanning bed?

The process that occurs inside a tanning bed is called "artificial tanning" or "indoor tanning." It involves exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation emitted by fluorescent bulbs to stimulate melanin production in the skin, resulting in a tanned appearance. This process can increase the risk of skin damage and other health issues, so it's essential to use tanning beds with caution and follow safety guidelines.
