Tanning Beds & Knee Replacement Surgery: What You Need to Know
It is not recommended to use tanning beds after knee replacements.
Tanning beds emit ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which can damage the skin and increase your risk of skin cancer. UV radiation can also cause premature aging of the skin, wrinkles, and sunspots.
In addition, tanning beds can also cause dehydration, which can lead to complications during and after knee replacement surgery.
It is important to follow the instructions of your doctor and avoid tanning beds after knee replacements.
