General Usage Overview

1. Loading Phase

   • Many users begin with a lower dose—often around 0.25 mg to 0.5 mg—taken daily or every other day.

   • This helps the body adjust and may reduce initial side effects like nausea or flushing.

2. Increasing the Dose

   • After a few days or weeks, some gradually work up to 1 mg or more per injection, depending on tolerance and desired results.

   • It’s about finding your personal “sweet spot,” balancing desired skin-darkening effects with minimal side effects.

3. Maintenance Phase

   • Once the tan is established, users often reduce to a smaller or less frequent dose—maybe once or twice a week—to maintain the color.

   • Routines vary widely among individuals.

4. Injection Technique

   • Melanotan II is generally administered via a subcutaneous injection (just under the skin), often in the abdominal region with an insulin syringe.

   • Hygiene is key—mix only with sterile water, and keep needles and injection sites clean.
