YOU MIGHT THINK THAT INDOOR TANNING IS SAFE--OR THAT TANNING-BED RAYS ARE LESS LIKELY THAN THE SUN TO CAUSE A BURN. BUT, INDOOR TANNING IS NOT SAFER THAN THE SUN. IN FACT, ULTRA-VIOLET LIGHT FROM INDOOR TANNING CAN CAUSE PREMATURE AGING--INCLUDING WRINKLES, SAGGING, AND AGE-SPOTS. SO, INSTEAD OF MAKING YOU LOOK COOL, EXPOSURE TO U-V LIGHT COULD MAKE YOU LOOK OLD. AND, EVEN WORSE, U-V LIGHT CAN INCREASE YOUR RISK OF SKIN CANCER--INCLUDING MELANOMA, THE DEADLIEST FORM OF SKIN CANCER--ESPECIALLY WHEN EXPOSED AT AN EARLY AGE. TREATMENT CAN BE SURGERY--AND, SOMETIMES, EVEN CHEMOTHERAPY AND RADIATION. DID YOU KNOW THAT CURRENT ESTIMATES ARE THAT ONE IN FIVE AMERICANS DEVELOPS SKIN CANCER--AND THAT ONE PERSON DIES FROM MELANOMA ABOUT EVERY HOUR? THAT MEANS THAT MORE THAN EIGHT-THOUSAND PEOPLE WILL LOSE THEIR LIVES TO MELANOMA THIS YEAR, ALONE. DON'T BE ONE OF THEM. INDOOR TANNING IS NOT AS SAFE AS YOU THINK. IN FACT, INDOOR TANNING IS OUT. A MESSAGE FROM THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF DERMATOLOGY. FOR MORE INFORMATION, VISIT "A-A-D"-DOT-ORG.
