Dermatology vs Tanning Industry


Dermatology Groups Still Market “Safe” UV Sunbed Sessions


It appears that the dermatology industry is more about profit, and when it comes to the tanning industry, is talking out of both sides of its mouth and that the dollar sign matters more to its biggest lobbying groups than any true scientific discussion.

In other words, they are not acting as scientific guardians, protecting the public from indoor tanning UV exposure. They are acting as a competitor, promoting UV sunbeds of their own.

Tanning owners have been taking "the hit" with negative advertising and legislation since the 90's, and recently as of July 2010 the added 10% Tax to help fund "Obama Care".  How is an industry to survive?  It's time the public know the truth about the dermatology industry and their lobbyists.



The truth!  It’s the same sunbed and the same UV light. But when the dollars flow into dermatology’s pockets, the spin about the safety of their UV gets dizzying.
