Great information, Michelle. The Skin Cancer Foundation also advises caution in the use of SAD lights, and warns against the use of tanning beds. According to the Foundation, new high-pressure sunlamps emit as much as 12 times the annual UVA dose compared to the dose people receive from sun exposure. Those who use tanning beds are 2.5 times more likely to develop squamous cell carcinoma and 1.5 times more likely to develop basal cell carcinoma.
