Using the tanning bed with a splint?

April 8, 2016
Asked By:A.J.B. in Cedar Park, TX

Im going to have my dorsal hump rasped and I want to continue tanning afterwards. I always cover my face with towels in the tanning bed. Can I still do this after the rasping procedure? My Dr. says I will have a splint on. Will the splint be ok in the tanning bed? How about after the splint is removed? Can I cover my face and tan then?
