- Tanning effect (skin pigmentation increase) is the headline signal
- Libido / sexual response effects (related to PT-141)
- Visible result within weeks
How it's typically used
Loading: 0.25 mg subq daily ~7–10 days. Maintenance: 0.5 mg once or twice weekly.
What to watch for
- Darkened or new moles — monitor and biopsy if changing
- Nausea, flushing, appetite loss are common
- Concerns around unsupervised melanocortin activation; not a casual peptide
About Skin, hair & aesthetic
- What they are
- Skin, hair, and pigmentation compounds — some injected, some formulated into topicals.
- How they're run
- Topicals go on clean skin daily; injectables run in short courses. Either way the timescale is months.
- What to watch
- Melanocortin compounds darken existing moles and can trigger nausea and flushing — get a skin check before and during. Topical peptides are cosmetic and act only where applied.
