Yes regular use of a tanning bed does affect the way a person ages.

When you tan regularly in a tanning bed it causes premature aging of your skin which then leads to increased wrinkles, brown skin spots, lax skin and even potentially skin cancer.

Most people who use a tanning bed before age 35 increase their chances of developing skin cancer and Melanoma cancer by 75 percent.

Tanning beds use artificial UV light that is very strong and harmful to your skin and is worse than tanning naturally in the sunlight.

When you use a tanning bed regularly you're more likely to look much older than you would otherwise look if you hadn't used a tanning bed.
