I have skin grafts from 3rd degree burns. it's been 4 years, can i go in a tanning bed?

43% of my body was 3rd degree burned in a fire, so i'm one big scar when you add the donor sites.  My chest, head and left arm were the only parts not scarred.  Tanning always helped my complexion, and was very therapudic for me.  What are the risks for me if I use a tanning…
