The health risks associated with tanning are the result of UVA rays. The rays that one will encounter in a tanning salon are 2-3 times more powerful than the sun's natural UVA rays. The most dangerous risk of long-term exposure is skin cancer. Other risks include eye damage and cataracts, changes to the immune system, and wrinkles and other premature aging.

Sunbeds have been popular for many years. However there is now substantial evidence to connect their use with an increased risk of skin cancers due to the UV radiation.

Indoor tanning in a tanning booth using a sun lamp has been linked to skin cancers such as melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma and ocular melanoma or cancer of the eye.
