Tanning Beds

Are They Safe?

The United States Department of Health & Human Services has declared UV light from any source, be it sun or artificial sources, such as tanning beds and sun lamps, a carcinogen or cancer-causing substance. Tanning beds emit high amounts of UVA as well as UBV radiation, and have been shown to contribute directly and significantly to the risk of skin cancer (both melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers), as well as photoaging, especially if tanning habits begin at an early age.
