Also, Melanotan  administered sub-cutaneously by injecting into the fatty layer of tissue around the belly button area. Inject daily until a desired color achieved and then continue to inject once or twice a week to maintain the colour.

Some darkening of the skin may occur using the injection alone but the effects are far more dramatic when used along with exposure to UV light (sun or tanning bed) 2-3 times a week initially and then 1-2 times a week thereafter.

Preparation of Injectable Melanotan

Take the following steps to prepare your Melanotan 2.

• Remove cap from the top of the glass vial, wipe surface with alcohol wipe.
• Remove cap/lid from the sterile water.
• Remove needle/syringe from its packaging and insert into the bottle of sterile water.
• Draw out 1ml or 1 full syringe of sterile water from the bottle and depress it into the Melanotan 2 vial. (The more sterile water added to the Melanotan 2 vial the more diluted the solution will become.)
• Once the sterile water added the lyophilised powder within the Melanotan vial it will begin to dissolve, gentle rotation on the bottle will help the solution dissolve correctly.
• Finally, create equal pressure inside of the Melanotan 2 vial, this can be done by simply removing the plunger completely from syringe and inserting the needle into the vial as normal, this will allow the added air to be removed.
• It is always important to sterilise the top of the melanotan vial and skin.
