Can I use bed-tan a day after lip injection if I use spf 50 on my lips?

Question

My lips are a bit swollen and there is a tinny bluish color on the corner. Will the sunscreen lotion protect my lips from uv and help avoid scar possibly?

Tanning beds do not affect lip fillers, but still shouldnt be used in my opinion. they make you look older and give you cancer.  Best, Dr. Emer.

No matter what you might have heard about tanning beds, the UV light is a major risk for photo aging and skin cancer including melanoma. Melanoma is the most lethal of the skin cancers. Avoiding tanning beds is  a risk factor that you have control over. Don't use tanning beds. Then you don't have to worry about what the UV light might do to your lip treatment.

I don't recommend using a tanning bed. Keep in mind, it will take up to 2 weeks for final results. Hope this helps.

I would recommend not exposing your lips to a tanning bed a day after lip injections.  I would recommend just covering your lips so that the UV light does not hit them.

Annika Crosby, MD · Answer

Hello! I do not recommend  using tanning beds at all.  If you do go though, please cover your lips so the tanning bed UV exposure does not affect them. Best Of luck!!!
