But the dangers never went away, including new research that shows one particular side effect is more than skin deep and literally DNA-changing.from Northwestern Medicine and the University of California, San Francisco has found that tanning bed use increases the risk of melanoma by nearly three times.
Misunderstood illness causes severe fatigue in millions — though most cases go undiagnosed ‘Humidifier lung’ is the sneaky cold-weather condition that can actually worsen the symptoms you’re trying to treat But while the number of cases increased, the exact mechanism behind tanning beds’ cancer risk was unknown, leading people to think they were still relatively safe. However, this study shows how getting a fake glow actually mutates skin cells far beyond where sunlight reaches. Researchers compared the medical records of 3,000 sunbed users with 3,000 people with no history of indoor tanning. They found that melanoma was diagnosed in 5.1% of users, compared with 2.1% of non-users, and that tanning bed use had a nearly three-fold increase in illness risk.Sunless tanners were also more likely to develop the disease on areas of the body usually protected from the sun, like the lower back. This led researchers to believe tanning devices can cause broader damage to DNA than simply lying out in the sunshine. Further testing on skin samples from both users and non-users confirmed this when those who got their false glow-up had nearly twice as many skin cell mutations. “In outdoor sun exposure, maybe 20% of your skin gets the most damage,” said study author and professor of skin cancer research at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine Dr. Pedram Gerami. “In tanning bed users, we saw those same dangerous mutations across almost the entire skin surface.” How much is your ‘base tan’ really protecting you against sun damage and cancer? Melanoma expert weighs inrecently found that 20% of youths believe that being tan is more important to them than protecting themselves from skin cancer. And even if thousands across social media would rather “die hot than live ugly”, there’s no arguing the downsides to laying out., from mists and drops to oils and sprays, are leading the charge for a sun-kissed glow — without the UV rays or cancer risk. Regardless of the options, with indoor tanning on the rise, Gerami believes there should be stronger warnings. “When you buy a pack of cigarettes, it says this may result in lung cancer,” he said. “We should have a similar campaign with tanning bed usage.”Buy one, get one deal on this microcurrent sculpting device — arrives before ChristmasImprove your skin with The Collagen Co. that tastes like a ‘milkshake’Bowen Yang breaks his silence on decision to leave ‘SNL’ after 7 seasonsWinning numbers drawn for Powerball's $1.5B jackpot Brooklyn Beckham blocks parents Victoria and David, brother Cruz on Instagram in major escalation of family feud Cher goes rock ‘n’ roll in leather jacket and blond wig for holiday performance on ‘Saturday Night live’
