Melanotan I

About

What it is

Melanotan I stimulates melanocytes to produce more melanin — the pigment that gives skin its color and provides UV protection. It produces a natural-looking tan with less sun exposure required.

How it works

Melanotan I (afamelanotide) binds to MC1R receptors on melanocytes, stimulating tyrosinase activity and melanin synthesis. The result is a gradual, natural-looking darkening of skin pigmentation independent of UV exposure.

Benefits

Stimulates natural melanin production
Produces a gradual, natural-looking tan
Provides some UV protection via increased melanin
Works regardless of baseline skin tone

Who it's for

Those who want a tan with less UV exposure
Fair skin that burns easily
Even skin tone development
Pre-vacation tanning preparation

What to expect

Week 1

Melanin production begins increasing. May notice slight darkening.

Week 2–3

Tan develops gradually. Skin tone deepens.

Week 4+

Desired tan level achieved. Maintenance dosing established.

Safety & tolerability

Melanotan I has a more selective receptor profile than Melanotan II, primarily acting on MC1R. Side effects may include mild nausea and facial flushing early on. Our care team reviews your skin history and monitors your response.
