In 1992, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the use of melanotan tanning injections for use by U.S. salons and their customers to achieve a darker skin tone or "tanned" skin. Prior to this approval, many cosmetic procedures such as bleaching, hair coloring and the like were not available in the United States. These whitening treatments were only offered in other countries such as England and Australia. The melanoma treatment was approved by the FDA in order to stimulate the production of melanin by inhibiting melanocyte (melanocyte cell death) by increasing melanoma production.


Over the past several years, there have been a number of clinical trials performed to determine whether melanoma tanning injections are safe and effective. The melanotan tanning product is applied to the desired area of the skin. The melanoma is absorbed into the skin and works by causing changes in pigmentation. For this reason, many dermatologists and plastic surgeons recommend topical applications to be applied to areas of the skin with pigmentation issues to increase self-esteem and self-confidence. In addition to these positive results from prior melanotan tanning injections, some individuals have noted that these whitening products also can help to make their hair lighter, thus reducing their risk of hair loss after they graduate from college or other vocational institutions.


There are several different types of melanoma products, including melanoma, which is often purchased by salons and beauty clinics for their clients. Melanotan has a typical cream-like consistency that can be applied to the skin with a brush or swab. Generally, the administration of melanotan tanning injections is done by making small punctures in the skin where the melanoma is located. These small incisions allow the melanoma to enter the skin, where it provides long-term coverage and color.


In general, the administration of melanotan tanning injections does not result in any unsightly or unattractive skin changes in most patients. The only potential side effect associated with melanoma tanning is moderate skin discoloration, which typically occurs on the upper arms, legs, and abdomen. This discoloration is typically brownish or dark and occurs after a few months of use, typically as a result of new tanning. Since this may not cause unsightly skin changes, this is typically not a cause for concern.


Other less well-known options for melanoma tanning include Retin A and Doxane. Retin A is taken orally in the form of a cream or lotion, which is designed to be used on broken skin. This ingredient is intended to assist in making the skin look younger by revitalizing collagen. While many dermatologists recommend Retin A for its moisturizing effects, some caution is recommended due to its potential for causing excessive dryness of the skin and possible thinning of the skin as a result of its use. Generally, however, it does not cause unsightly skin changes.


Doxane is taken in the form of a cream or lotion, which is designed to be used on more mature skin. Unlike Retin A and melanoma tanning injections, which are applied to the skin, Doxane is applied to the hairless areas of the body, such as the legs and armpits. As with Retin A, there are concerns about possible skin thinning and excessive dryness. Again, however, these concerns are not generally seen in typical melanoma tanning injections, due to the greater concentration of melanoma in the hairless areas.


Melanotan has been approved by the FDA in a number of forms. For example, a melanoma product can be applied to the skin via a patch or spray, which may also be used on the head or neck. A liquid is sometimes added to the cream or lotion, which can be used on the tanning bed or at home. If you choose to use a spray or lotion, you should be sure to follow the instructions carefully, as melanotan products may cause skin irritation and dryness.


Before using a tanning system, it's important to discuss your tanning plans with your dermatologist. In particular, he or she will be able to advise you about the most suitable tanning method for your situation. The type of melanotan you need, the depth of the coverage you require, and your personal skin type are all factors that will be taken into account when getting advice. There are several different brands of melanotan available, including Proactiv, Niavad, and Maxlex. Before you buy any melanotan tanning system, make sure to check the ingredients. In particular, make sure that any melanotan tanning system you consider uses the active ingredient hydroquinone.
