Yes, excessive tanning can lead to long-term health risks. Tanning beds use ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which can damage the DNA in your skin and increase the risk of skin cancer. It can also cause premature aging of the skin and reduce the skin’s natural defenses against bacteria and viruses. Tanning beds can also increase the risk of melanoma and other skin cancers, as well as other health risks, such as eye damage, cataracts, and weakened immune system. Therefore, it is important to use tanning beds in moderation and to always wear protective eyewear to shield your eyes from UV radiation.
