Safe, Even Tanning from the Inside: The Revolutionary Tanning Implant by Prof. Lesley Rhodes

Say goodbye to harmful UV radiation. This groundbreaking invention from experimental dermatology experts makes risky tanning a thing of the past.

Ditch the tanning bed—it's dangerous—and toss those self-tanners that leave an unnatural orange hue. Instead, achieve a responsible, even tan with the innovative tanning implant.

The Tanning Implant
Prof. Lesley Rhodes, professor of experimental dermatology at the University of Manchester, understands the desire for a bronzed glow. She and her team of scientists developed this tiny, rice-grain-sized implant. It delivers a natural-looking tan from the inside out, lasting up to three months—without the risks of skin cancer, wrinkles, or other damage. Ideal, right?

For Skin Conditions
Even better: the implant offers hope for those with skin conditions who rely on solariums for management, which heighten skin cancer risks.

“The implant could provide a safe alternative to commercial sunbeds, and many leading scientists agree it's completely safe,” Rhodes told ELLE UK.

It's not on the market yet—the tanning implant is undergoing rigorous testing first.
