How dangerous is tanning 2-3 times a week?

No Safe Tan
Ever since fashion empress Coco Chanel sported her new tan after a yachting
vacation in the 1920s, many Americans have equated tanned skin with good
health, great wealth, leisure time, social status, beauty, and high fashion.
In the January 1991 issue of Vanity Fair magazine, writer Bob Colacello
interviews Hollywood heartthrob George Hamilton. Hamilton may well be most
famous for his perpetual tan, which Colacello describes as perfect, not too
shiny or too dull, not too orange or too brown, but the same cinnamon wash
he's had since he was sixteen.
During a television program, Hamilton tells viewers of how he grabs a tan
whenever and wherever he can. One can only wonder why Hamilton and others
like him have ignored the outpouring of information in the last decade from
such sources as the Food and Drug Administration and the American Academy of
Dermatology, the National Cancer Institute, and the American Cancer Society,
which have been repeated by many fashion magazines. With a consistent
message, experts are warning Americans of the hazards of exposure to
ultraviolet radiation, the sun's UVA and UVB wavelengths. These imperil all
sun worshippers regardless of natural skin color in ways that Coco Chanel
could never have imagined.
To understand why sun damages, says Warwick Morison, M.D., associate
professor of dermatology at Johns Hopkins University, think of yourself
sitting unprotected on the beach for four hours. This sunbathing process
kills skin cells by UV radiation and alters the function of collagen and
elastin, the connective tissue in the skin. It also causes blood vessels to
dilate. That's why people turn red, he says. Days after you leave the beach
burnt and blistered, you lose a layer of skin as it peels off. You may even
freckle as a result of local changes in pigment cells. And those are only
the acute, immediate changes.
Even tanning slowly and carefully is dangerous. Darrell Rigel, M.D.,
clinical assistant professor of dermatology at New York University,
Manhattan, maintains, There's no such thing as a safe tan. That's the key
point. You have to think about why you tan. The body senses that it is being
injured by UV radiation and, to protect itself, it produces melanin.
(Melanin is the body's natural sun block, the dark pigment that skin cells
produce to block out damaging rays and that cause tanning.)
But further damage occurs at the cellular level, he explains. When the sun
hits the skin, the DNA in the skin cells gets distorted. Think of the DNA
in the cell as a spiral staircase," he says. What happens is that the two
chains of the DNA are no longer connected and the stairs go off at a funny
angle. Normal people have the enzyme that attempts to repair the damage.?
But, he adds, the repair is never total; some damage always remains, and it
accumulates over the years.
While the immediate harm, the burning, blistering and peeling, is painful,
what people should fear are the long-term consequences of regular sun
exposure and tanning those skin and other body changes that may appear as
many as 20 or 30 years later, long after even the memories of carefree days
of sunbathing have faded. Skin cancer is one consequence.
Most experts attribute the dramatic rise in skin cancers to America?s love
affair with the sun and to Americans' changed lifestyles that put people
outdoors for longer periods, for more months of the year, and often in
skimpier outfits that leave more skin exposed.
Skin Cancer Increases
There are three main types of skin cancer: melanoma, basal-cell carcinoma,
and squamous-cell carcinoma. The deadliest of these is melanoma, but
squamous-cell carcinoma is also a killer, and the most common form of skin
cancer among black Americans, reports Ted Rosen, M.D., associate professor
of dermatology, Baylor College of Medicine at Houston.
According to the American Cancer Society, more than 600,000 people were
diagnosed with basal-cell and squamous-cell carcinomas in 1990, up from
400,000 in 1980. Thirty-five thousand more were diagnosed with melanoma in
1990.
The rate of melanomas has doubled in less than a decade, says Vincent DeLeo,
M.D., assistant professor and director of environmental dermatology,
Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center, Manhattan. It's already the number
one cancer in young women under 35. And it's increasing rapidly. If not
removed in the earliest stages, deadly melanomas do not carry a very good
prognosis.
Melanomas can metastasize and appear in many sites, says Paul Bergstresser,
M.D., chairman of the department of dermatology, University of Texas
Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas. Or they can migrate down the lymph
system and can be in adjacent sites, so even if the original melanoma is
