Apart from your migraines, I'd be a little concerned about using tanning machines everyday. Don't risk your skin just for the sake of a healthy looking tan. Moderation and protection is vital. Please take care.

Hello,
Stress is one of the most important factors for the precipitation of migraine headaches. Migraine attacks commonly activate the sympathetic nervous system in the body.Bright flashy lights are one of the triggers of migraines and tanning light can also trigger it.So I would advise you to refrain from tanning.

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.Warm regards.

I know that heat and bright lights of any kind cause me to get migraines.  I can't even go out on the water and enjoy the lake anymore b/c i know that I will get a migraine by the next day. So I think the tanning is definitely going to cause you some headaches.

hi... the bright lights could cause a migraine maybe? also... any stress to the body can cause a migraine... stress means change.. and tanning is like a change to the body... so maybe, yah?
