My melanotan-1 (type 1) log
06/20/11 at 16:41:10
 
Well, 2 days ago I started off with my first ever melanotan-1 injection. Boy, what am I doing?  I might be doing this for the next few years, every day. This is just so weird.
 
I am a type 1, never had a real tan, just some colour in face and arms. Burned skin I had a dozen times.
As a kid I had a few freckles on my nose, also my hair had a slight reddish tint which has completely disappeared.
 
Preparing the syringes was cumbersome to say the least, especially because I decided to go for 0.25mg for each. So making 40 syringes is not much fun, and I only got 36 out of the vial, so a 10% loss.  Sad
 
I won't be posting every day, probably once a week or so. It's gets boring too soon.
 
18-06
Injected 0.25mg in my belly fat; it went quite easy to my astonishment, I thought I would be very nervous but no, pfew!
After 15 min my face got very warm and got quite red, like a buoy.  
It took about 2 hours to fade, is that normal?
 
19-06
Injected 0.25mg in my belly fat; it's a habit already.  Grin
Again a red warm face, it seemed to be less than 2 hours this time.
 
to be continued...

20-06: 0.25mg
21-06: 0.25mg
22-06: 0.17mg ?
Total so far: 5days = 1.17mg
 
Last syringe was taken out of the freezer and still looked like it was frozen, so I pulled the plunger to check. Somehow it wouldn't budge and I had to expel the air and some peptide. That's why it's less the third time.
 
Is there a better way to freeze/unfreeze syringes ?
 
Again a red flushed face, is this going to happpen every time? It's very annoying. I take such a little dosage.  undecided

The dosage is probably too low, but it's comparable to the implant. I will try to do twice daily injections, but not when I go to work, don't want to show purple face in public. Wink

Don't notice anything different, still warm and red face for 1.5 hrs. I will get a short sunbed coming weekend.
At that time I will make a new batch which will be 0.5mg@5u syringes because it's taking too long to get 10mg inside me.

Blake--thanks for posting--please keep us informed.  Couple of questions - what size syringe are you using and how much bac water is in each syringe?  
Thanks,
BB

@boisebikeman
Currently I use 50u (=0.5ml) syringes, 10mg vial with 2ml saline (NaCl), divided over 40 syringes.
So that's 0.25mg at 5u (=0.05ml) in each syringe. I chose this amount to start slow and not having to inject that much fluid.

NOTE:
I do have some bruises now and I have to stay clear of  those, because it hurts a lot when injecting in those places.  Shocked
 
Still I hate injecting myself, yuck !!

Here's another update.
 
12-07: 0.25mg
13-07: 0.25mg
14-07: 0.25mg
15-07: 0.25mg
16-07: 0.25mg
16-07: Tanning session 12min
-------------------- new batch, 2nd vial
16-07: 0.5mg
17-07: 0.5mg
18-07: 0.5mg
19-07: 0.5mg
20-07: 0.5mg
21-07: 0.5mg
 
Total so far: 34 days = 12mg
Tanning sessions: 1 time = 12 mins
 
So I made a new batch, now only 1ml water used (now 5u = 0.5mg). Again I spilled some and couldn't get everything from the vial, so only 17 syringes at this time (loss 15%). I don't want to inject more fluid as it feels horrible, because it creates pressure under your skin.
 
Last Saturday I went into a tanning studio and took the lightest bed they had: Ergoline Classic 500 TP (see below)
It got very warm the second half and I felt my skin "burning" on my calves, also my face looked weird.
How can people stand this heat inside this small space, it's very uncomfortable.  undecided
 
The next day my face had a nice brown colour YES!!, quite dark I might say, my hands also. The rest of my body is a different matter. Just a few reddish tan lines which took some days to lighten up. Strangely the tanning has been very uneven, some places have not responded to the UV at all.
 
I need more peptide inside me and will have another tanning session very soon, probably put a towel over my face.

Hi Blake! Wow so only 12 mg in and you already have a lot of color and your face and hands, I was thinking I wouldn't be seeing results until at least 20 or 30 mg in so that excites me! Did you tend to freckle on your face or other parts of your body prior to melanotan? How about now, is the tan on your face nice and clear and even?

I used to have some freckles on my face when I was a kid but nowadays only some on my arms after sunbathing.

My face shows patches here and there which has always been that way, only then it was white and pink, now it's reddish and brownish. Wink
 
I hate the injecting part and really don't like sunbeds, but there's hardly any sun this summer so no options there. Still more peptide to go and getting more rays for a good tan.

I am going to get another sunbed tomorrow, or to be more precise: a sunshower (vertical) because I find it very uncomfortable to lie in my own sweat and burning my ass off. Wink
 
After the first tanning session, last week, there's still a definite tan line on my legs and belly because I was wearing my boxershorts (no public nudity Cheesy)   You would hardly notice the tan otherwise. Maybe it was a heavy sunbed after all.

No, I have no before pictures, but you can "picture me" as a white guy with no visible freckles. Wink
When I get more sun (where is the sun) I will probably get some very tiny freckles again, mostly on my arms.
 
Small Update:
Next week I have 2 weeks off which I will spend tanning, outside or inside, maybe even buying a tanning bed.
Started 3rd vial yesterday, going for 0.75mg a day.

Here's another update.
 
29-07: Tanning session 8min (standing)
29-07: 0.5mg
30-07: 0.5mg
31-07: 0.5mg
-------------------- new batch, 3rd vial
01-08: 0.5mg
02-08: 0.75mg
03-08: none
04-08: 0.75mg
05-08: 0.75mg
06-08: Tanning session 15min
06-08: 0.75mg
 
Total so far: 50 days = 20.5mg
Tanning sessions: 3 times = 35 mins  
 
This time I got 9.5mg out of the vial, just 5% loss. The trick is to keep the vial upside down all the time, don't put it down every time. Well, you probably knew that already?
 
I'll be getting more frequent sunbeds to speed up the tanning because now just my face and hands are getting colour, the rest of body needs way more exposure to uv. The current weather is so bad, it's hardly summer ;-(
 
NOTE:
I had a bad, sort of rash on just my lower legs after the first tanning session. It must have been the enormous heat which my body is not used to. After some research, it could have been that tiny blood veins exploded. It itched and burned a bit, but luckily some after-sun helped, and after a few weeks it almost gone.

Total so far: 57 days = 26mg
Tanning sessions: 5 times = 65 mins
 
My face and hands have no problems tanning, but the rest of my body is just getting a very slight tan, some parts more pink than other parts, waiting to get brown (I hope). It will take weeks and lot of tanning to get some decent tan.
 
I've decided to buy a tanning bed, one with 24x 100W lamps with integrated duotan for the face. It's not cheap but it will allow me to have more frequent tanning sessions without going to a salon.
 
In retrospect, most of my body hasn't been exposed to the sun all that much before I started this stuff, so it takes much longer than people who have been busy tanning all their lives. I probably should have taken a bigger dosis in the beginning to prepare my body for this task. It definitely takes time and patience, which is why I bought a tanning bed. Wink

Thanks for the updates Blake. Maybe you just need a lot more melanotan in your system for your body to get good color. I know some people don't see much color at all until they are more than 50 mg in, others even upwards of that. That'll be convenient to have the tanning bed at your house but it might not hurt to wait a little before using it a lot, no point in getting unnecessary UV damage when you might get way better color in much fewer tanning sessions once you are another 20 mg in. Just saying this judging by the logs of other people, I am around the same mg in as you and am getting quite impatient, I want to see a drastic change! Haha but I'm forcing myself to wait a little for extensive UV exposure. Glad that you have gotten good color on your face and hands, I can't wait to have a tan face!  Hope the rest of your body starts to show color soon! : )

Thanks simpson for your remarks. I also got to this conclusion at this point. There's some colour on my legs but only if you see the untanned skin as well, without that you'd hardly notice the tan.  undecided
 
 
Here's a picture of my right leg. I have tried to optimise the colour to be exact as possible (on my screen)
The hair on my leg looks very blond but it's actually much much darker.
