Vitamin D and Sunbeds: What the Evidence Says
Why vitamin D needs should be addressed separately from a cosmetic tanning appointment.
Vitamin D and Sunbeds: What the Evidence Says: what to consider
Vitamin D care is separate from tanning
The American Academy of Dermatology does not recommend sun exposure or indoor tanning as a way to obtain vitamin D. UV radiation carries skin cancer risk. Its vitamin D guidance recommends that healthy adults obtain vitamin D through food, including fortified food and drinks.
If you are concerned about deficiency
Speak to a healthcare professional about your individual needs. Do not use a sunbed appointment as a substitute for assessment or advice about diet and supplements. This article does not prescribe a supplement dose or an exposure schedule.
Before booking a cosmetic service
A tanning result is not evidence that vitamin D needs have been met. Read the AAD indoor tanning evidence before deciding on UV exposure.
The related salon services below are cosmetic menu listings. Their presence does not make indoor tanning a recommended vitamin D treatment.
