Melanotan vs. Traditional Tanning Methods: Which Is Safer?
Melanotan is a synthetic analog of a naturally occurring hormone known for stimulating skin pigment production. Developed initially as a photoprotective agent to combat skin cancer, it allows for a tanned appearance without harmful UV exposure. However, Melanotan is not approved for use in many countries due to safety concerns and possible side effects such as nausea, appetite loss, and increased blood pressure. Itβs critical to weigh the aesthetic benefits against potential health risks and legal implications before considering use.
