I had Miradry five days ago, I'm pretty much healed other than it feeling weird to the touch, can I go tanning?

Pamiam214Apr 4, 2016
I know you wouldn't recommend tanning beds in general but I am on spring break from college and want to make it look as if I went somewhere exotic and fun, :). Is it safe to go tanning after Miradry ? That soon after ?
