It’s easy to blame the tanning beds, but I’m not sure if used properly they would cause the damage that many claim they inflict. I’m not suggesting they are totally safe either – I don’t think anybody knows for sure.
Here is a story from Fox news and a link to the story and video if you want to read more or watch the video.

One man with a vested interest in those statistics is Scott Hendrickson from Eclipse Sunless Tanning Salon. He describes on FOX 26 Morning News the safety of tanning beds and the alternative tanning processes available.
Dr. Paul Friedman, co-author of “Beautiful Skin Revealed: The Ultimate Guide To Better Skin,” and a skin cancer patient he treated together explain why indoor tanning beds may have led to her diagnosis. He also recommended some safe alternatives to indoor tanning bed use.
