I assume most ppl js gonna say mt2 but js hear me out and make me decide this maybe its obvious
MT1 VS MT2
very brief overview:
mt2 (melanotan 2)
mt1 (afamelanotide-like)
Im sure most ppl alr know that
why i’m sceptical of mt2
why mt1 is tempting
i live in the uk, so real uv is limited to a couple of months so maybe i could just do a short period of mt2 when its peak or if i go abroad, but i want to be tanned yesterday.
i might just end up ordering both and bringing mt2 when i go to a hot country and using mt1 throghout summer in the uk. idk. ordering pretty soon.
Im swaying towards mt2 - seems like i should just get a good tan and cover my freckles and moles in uv++ and hope for the best. i mean afterall its gonna give me a better tan.
thoughts? dont just say mt2 fuck cancer and side effects lmao
MT1 VS MT2
very brief overview:
mt2 (melanotan 2)
- stimulates melanocytes strongly, faster, deeper tan
- increases freckles/moles more noticeably
- more systemic effects (libido, nausea, flushing, etc.) - CROSSES blood brain barrier
mt1 (afamelanotide-like)
- more selective melanocyte stimulation
- slower, steadier tan development
- far fewer systemic and pigment side effects
Im sure most ppl alr know that
why i’m sceptical of mt2
- i’ve already been badly sunburnt a few times, which already raises baseline skin cancer risk
- mt2 tends to activate existing moles and create new freckles, which makes monitoring skin harder
- it feels better for to short and controlled use not something to run casually for months
why mt1 is tempting
- much lower rate of new moles and freckles
- more consistent pigmentation without pushing melanocytes as hard
- theoretically safer long-term profile because it’s less aggressive
