Who Uses Tanning Beds?
Introduction
When tanning beds were first introduced, their main purpose was purely cosmetic: to offer indoor tanning. Many saw obtaining a radiant, sun-kissed glow as superficial, and these devices didn’t seem as impressive as other technological advances. Initially, the primary users were young women eager to flaunt their tans to friends.
Beyond Aesthetic Appeal
However, research has shown that tanning beds offer more than just a deeper skin tone. The ultraviolet (UV) radiation emitted by these devices encourages vitamin D production in the skin, much like natural sunlight. Vitamin D is crucial for strengthening bones and preventing certain diseases. Hence, when used responsibly, tanning beds can contribute to overall health and wellbeing.
Changing Demographics
With these findings, the user demographic of tanning beds has shifted significantly. No longer dominated by young women, men and older adults are increasingly frequenting tanning salons. A study led by Dr. Michael Strepp compared data from 1996 to 2004, highlighting this change.
In 1996, college-aged women made up the majority of tanning bed users. But recent surveys show that about 30% of users are now men. Similarly, in Canada, 25% of patrons in various tanning salons are male. As tanning salons operate independently from traditional beauty salons, men find it more comfortable to access these services.
Interesting Trends
One intriguing insight from the studies is the behavior of male users. At one tanning salon, although 27% of its clientele were men, they accounted for 40% of profits, as they tended to use tanning beds more frequently than women.
Older Clientele
The trend also shows that more older adults are turning to tanning beds. Seventy percent of surveyed users are over the age of 25, and in New York, men over 40 are beginning to use these facilities. Even senior citizens are now stepping into tanning salons.
Conclusion
As the health benefits of tanning beds become more widely recognized, we can expect a continued rise in use among men and older adults. This new wave of users is composed of responsible and health-conscious individuals eager to harness the advantages of indoor tanning technology.
