Before and After picture from 1991 Human Trial
04/29/04 at 06:25:58
 
Below is a before and after picture that was taken during Melanotan IND (Investigational New Drug) experimentations in Arizona in 1991. This person and an additional 27 other healthy caucasian males were involved in this study of melanotan-1 (as reported in a document entitled: Induction of skin tanning by subcutaneous administration of a potent synthetic melanotropin [melanotan-1] in Vol. 266 No. 19 November 20, 1991 edition of the Journal of the American Medical Association).
 
Anyone have any more information about this photo?
 

 
According to the study abstract, "All subjects used a high-potency sunscreen during the trial.". This likely explains why the color achieved is not as pronounced as it would be if this individual had received limited UV exposure.

In my opinion, these pictures really do not show the tanning effect well. First, we see a guy who does not look to be in the lower Fitzpatrick scale and secondly, the lighting seems off. I have gotten much better results than this picture shows.

I posted a few pics already, but what you really need is to take before/after pics in the same environment wearing the same clothes, with the same lighting, etc ... I haven't done that. I plan to be tan or at least protected all summer so I won't be posting any "before" pics until October/November if I do. I may try to post an "after" picture at some point this summer. But to do it right is somewhat of a pain ... I'm not a professional photog.

Was this with no UV exposure at all? Not that bad really seems as some people on melanotan II have said they havent got a tan at all after a month (very very few ppl however)

Yes this clinical trial was done such that the study subjects were directed to avoid UV exposure and to concurrently use sunscreen lotions (to cover any transient UV exposures).

I agree that these pictures really do not show clearly before and after results and the tanning results...I did notice a very slight change in color from before and after even though the subject did not have exposure to much sun.
