About this treatment

What is Melanotan II?

An investigational tanning peptide injection with important safety uncertainties; increased pigmentation does not provide reliable sun protection. This product is not FDA approved, and its safety and effectiveness have not been established.

The science

How Melanotan II works

Melanotan II activates melanocortin receptors and can increase pigment production. It also affects other pathways, and tanning does not establish protection against ultraviolet damage.

Laboratory findings do not establish benefits in people. Clinician review does not remove the uncertainties or risks of an investigational product.
