In daylight, Lucy Breen looks like any fresh-faced teenager, but the scrutiny of a specialist skin scanner tells a different story.
The harsh and potentially dangerous skin damage from continual sunbed use is shockingly obvious.
Eighteen-year-old Lucy went under the scanner when skin experts came to her school, Archbishop Beck Catholic Sports College.
I was diagnosed with Melanoma in 1998 after years of sunbathing outside and in booths. Even that didn’t stop me from tanning right away. I remember going out to the pool one of the days I was home immediately following the surgery of removal of the tissue surrounding the skin cancer mole I’d had removed. I hobbled over to the sun deck with the bandage around my knee. I don’t know how to get people to stop this behavior - at least to the level of obsession. I’ve known 20 somethings who died from skin cancer. Still today (having been free and clear from Melanoma for 12 years) I really want to go get a tan because it is so revered in our society. Maybe this machine will help others to take heed.
That is really scary. I know now as an adult how damaging the sun and sunbeds can be. But as a teen we used to lay out with snow on the ground because it does such a great job of reflecting the sun. Then there were the times we would sit out with tin foil under our faces; YIKES! Now I use the DPL Therapy System to help repair past sun damage and I am diligent about wearing sunscreen every day. With the great sunless tanners out there now, there is really no reason to use a sunbed or lay out in the sun (except it feels so darn good.)
