Any experiences with Melanotan

Hi redak!

Which type are you using? Melanotan I or II?
Can you post pictures of your tan? I’d be interested in some before & after comparison.

He is using II. Melanotan I does not have erectile aid properties.

Okay I’m about 3 weeks into my melanotan experiment! I have started getting compliments daily on how tan my face and arms are getting. Unfortunately I have a bit of a truck drivers tan going, am hitting the tanning booth irregularly so I am going to try some sunscreen in some areas, to try to even out my tan while forcing myself to make it to the tan salon every other day. Even got a compliment at the salon on how tan my face was getting.Not bad for a type 1 redhead.

At the lower doses I’m taking I do not have the spontaneous erections that I previously had, with another source. When I reorder I will probably place a order with previous supplier too,to compare products.

Having to go tanning in order to get it to work sort-of defeats the purpose for me if that’s really the case. Do most people have to go tanning in order to get it’s effects, or do people with less fair skin not? I was thinking it would be neat to be able to enjoy the health benefits of not exposing your skin to extra UV radiation while still having a tan.

That’s definitely my point.

Results are much slower without some deliberate tanning; incidental tanning would take quite awhile I would think! Research Melanotan.org there is probably someone there that can answer, many of the suppliers are on the boards.

I was thinking about some light-tanning, maybe 3 x 20-30 mins a week, then maintain the dose, which would hopefully maintain the tan

There’s actually a good youtube vid on the topic

Another shows off those nice animations how it’s supposed to work

I’m on my second week with Melanotan II. What I see so far are the not-so-adorable side-effects of it:

My moles are intensifying; I also got some where I didn’t have any before, especially where the skin has been damaged, e.g. Due to cutting myself whilst shaving. They don’t look chic on my still rather white skin, but they’ll surely take the back seat once my skin tans up.

My plan is to stay with my recommended dose of 0.4mg/day for a total of 40 days. That’s a rather long charge-up phase, and will be followed by a maintenance phase of one to two injections of the same dose per week. Day 30-40 I’m going to leave my sun-evading vampire mentality for a short amount of time, about 30-40 mins per day, to do some serious sunbathing. With the rather rainy summer we’ve had so far, I can only hope for some “natural” sunlight.

Don’t expect it to take 40 days, you’ll be ready for increasing amounts of sun by the end of the first week and be careful you don’ti nadvertently get a truck drivers tan.

The tanning part works decently.

The sexual effects were WAY overrated. It didn’t really help libido any more than a multivitamin, and erections only 1/10th as much as Viagra does. That is why Palatin’s stock got hammered to hell.

I can confirm that.

Last week I spent two afternoons in the sun. 2-3 hours each. One in the afternoon, one during midday. Both without sunlotion. First went fine. Second got me a sunburn. Lesson learned: midday sun seems way more intense, and don’t ever think again Melanotan will make your skin invincible. Either way, I already have a slight tan with only a few hours spent in the sun, which would normally take ages with my skin type.

Just wanted to write back for a little summary.

First off as a little disclaimer: I don’t want to sound like selling or promoting this stuff in either way. This is purely thought to cover some of my experiences.

I more less followed my protocol as planned. The result are good. My face and upper body have assumed a nice bronze look; the difference is very noticeable. Funny enough, a buddy of mine who is more of a naturally tanned guy already made some jealous remarks.
My legs have a good deal less of a tanned look, so the outcome is not ideal. It somehow takes me longer to darken the legs. Another thing that needs writing is that 30-40mins sun a day is by far not enough; 2-3 hours sunbed a day worked fine for me.
But all in all I’m very pleased with the outcome.
I’ll see if I can get the moles in my face removed; they’re not really noticeable, maybe about 1-2mm diameter, but still somewhat unpleasant.
I’m now in the maintenance phase with 2 injections per week. So that’s about it. I hope the tan will stay.

I have been off Melanotan 2 for several weeks and am still getting compliments on my color and still have a clear tanline without hitting a bed. I intend to resume at a lower dose for maintenance in a couple of weeks. I am noticing a few black hairs (known side effect)showing up in my eyebrows and other facial hair, the hair on my head seams to be darkening(I’m a redhead). All moles have darkened and a few small old scars are more visible.

The effects on erection have not been noticeable with the brand I am currently using(Tan Research),however the product I got from TLR last year gave me an erection every time there was a breeze after the first couple of days, I wish I had ordered more. Due to cost I went to a new supplier and while the tan is just as good if not better, I do miss the spontaneous erections and weight loss I noticed before! Never noticed an increase in libido(defined as desire) just erection driven by sensual stimuli including sight.

I plan to do a couple of short cycles leading up to a full cycle peaking at vacation in January.Now if I could just find a supplier of liquid C that has the same effect as kits-n-more C had, quarter doses used to work as well as a full dose of these other brands.

I am Casper the ghost white and burn very easily both in the sun and in a tanning bed. I’d love to try Melanotan. Where are you guys getting it from. I’m trying to find a reputable source, but am not very trusting of Internet pharmacies.
