The F.D.A. and Federal Trade Commission forbid making representations regarding the benefits of indoor tanning other than it’s cosmetic effect. Therefore, one may not make medical claims about indoor tanning equipment. However, phototherapy (U.V. light treatment) can be used to ease the symptoms of psoriasis. The treatment is rendered by a trained physician with equipment specifically designed for such a purpose.
