Well, it's higher frequency resulting in high localized absorption, so it's not no different from 4G or 3G.
(I haven't seen any credible study saying it actually increases cancer risk, but from first principles, 5G increasing cancer risk, particularly skin cancer risk, doesn't seem all that absurd, similar to how sunlight increases cancer risk)

60GHz is much, much, much lower than any UV. (UVA is mainly responsible for skin aging (photoaging), and it's above visible light, and visible light starts at around 400 TeraHerz.)
