What are ‘collarium’ sunbeds? Here’s why you should stay away

Retrieved on: 
Wednesday, February 14, 2024

A collarium sunbed emits both UV radiation and a mix of visible wavelength colours to produce a pink or red light.

Key Points: 
  • 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.

Why were sunbeds banned?

  • Commercial sunbeds have been illegal across Australia since 2016 (except for in the Northern Territory) under state-based radiation safety laws.
  • Their dangers were highlighted by young Australians including Clare Oliver who developed melanoma after using sunbeds.
  • Research shows people who have used sunbeds at least once have a 41% increased risk of developing melanoma, while ten or more sunbed sessions led to a 100% increased risk.

How are collarium sunbeds supposed to be different?

  • Australian sellers of collarium sunbeds imply they are safe, but their machine descriptions note the use of UV radiation, particularly UVA.
  • UVA is one part of the spectrum of UV radiation.
  • Evidence shows all types of sunbeds increase the risk of melanoma, including those that use only UVA.

Collagen claims

  • One particularly odd claim about collarium sunbeds is that they stimulate collagen.
  • Collagen is the main supportive tissue in our skin.
  • The reactive oxygen species generated by UVA light damage existing collagen structures and kick off a molecular chain of events that downgrades collagen-producing enzymes and increases collagen-destroying enzymes.
  • Over time, a build-up of degraded collagen fragments in the skin promotes even more destruction.

What about phototherapy?

  • The anti-collagen effects of UVA can also be used to treat thickened scars and keloids.
  • Side-effects of UV phototherapy include tanning, itchiness, dryness, cold sore virus reactivation and, notably, premature skin ageing.

So what happens now?

  • It looks like many collariums are just sunbeds rebranded with red light.
  • Queensland Health is currently investigating whether these salons are breaching the state’s Radiation Safety Act, and operators could face large fines.
