Tanning beds are linked to a higher rate of melanoma skin cancers in scientific studies.
Some states are moving to make these illegal in the near future.
As a plastic surgeon who treats melanoma every week, please don't use these.
It is much safer to use a fake tan to help your appearance (remembering of course that these do not protect your from sunburn or skin cancers, but just provide the nice ‘glow’ you are after).

Hello
There is some evidence showing that there is an increased rate of skin cancer adn melanoma in people who attend tanning booths. You are giving your body a concentrated dose of UV radiation which damages cells and will cause premature aging. Doing this on a regular basis will increase your risk of skin cancer.
