Yes use of a tanning bed often enough can affect the way a person ages.

Actually if you tan too much your skin could look wrinkled and older than it is faster so you increase your age in a way as your skin will wrinkle, start to sag etc and will make you look older than you really are.

Use of a tanning bed often can increase your age look by 10 years in just a couple years of tanning bed use.

But the aging of the skin takes awhile for it to happen as it won't happen overnight but as you get older and older and reach your 50s your skin may look like you're 75 or 80.

Using a tanning bed too often can also increase your risk of developing skin cancer which can also be deadly so I would actually advise against using a tanning bed especially before the age of 35.

Your chances of getting skin cancer increase a lot after you reach age 35 and beyond.
