No. Our devices are not Ultraviolet radiation systems and produce wavelengths that are well studied to be safe to our skin (with regards to cancer). In fact, many recent studies are suggesting that treatments that are currently being done can be used to treat certain types of skin cancer. Additionally, ongoing treatment of skin conditions, pigment disorders etc. clearly benefit our skin and with good maintenance on your part (especially sunscreens) should significantly reduce your chance of skin cancer as you age.
