The quest for a year round tan has led to an increase in the use of artificial tanning devices, namely sunbeds. There has been much debate in the press recently regarding the dangers of sunbed use and calls for tighter regulation of the industry, particularly the licensing of unmanned tanning salons. The dangers of sunbed use have long been recognised and the body of evidence linking sunbed use to skin malignancy is growing, in fact this month the Lancet published a review from the International Agency for Research on Cancer classifying UV emitting tanning devices as carcinogenic to humans. At the Welsh Centre for Burns and Plastic Surgery we noticed a rise in the number of patients presenting with burns related to sunbed use and present our data surrounding this injury over the last 6 years.
追求全年晒黑导致了人工晒黑设备（即晒床）的使用增加。最近媒体上对晒床使用的危险进行了大量讨论，并呼吁对该行业进行更严格的监管，特别是对无人值守的晒沙龙进行许可。晒床使用的危险早已被认识到，将晒床使用与皮肤恶性肿瘤联系起来的证据越来越多，事实上本月《柳叶刀》杂志发表了国际癌症研究机构的一份评论，将紫外线发射的晒黑设备归类为对人类致癌。在威尔士烧伤和整形手术中心，我们注意到因使用晒床而导致烧伤的患者数量有所增加，我们展示了过去 6 年来围绕这种伤害的相关数据。
