Melanotan II (MT-2) is a tanning peptide that increases the skin’s natural melanin production. More melanin means a deeper, darker tan, usually with less sun exposure than tanning with UV alone.

This pen is pre-loaded with 10 mg MT-2 in 2 mL and uses The Clinic’s 200-click dosing system, making it simple to measure and repeat your dose every time.

• 10 mg Melanotan II per pen
• 2 mL volume — 200 clicks total
• 50 mcg MT-2 per click
• Designed for subcutaneous use with a fine needle

What Melanotan II Does

Melanotan II works by copying the action of your body’s own alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It binds to melanocortin receptors and tells your pigment cells (melanocytes) to produce more melanin.

In practical terms, regular MT-2 use is associated with:

• Faster tanning once you get some UV exposure.
• Deeper, richer colour than you would normally reach.
• Less sun needed to reach your usual tan.
• A longer-lasting tan because it is your own melanin, not a surface dye.

Fair-skinned users often notice the most dramatic change, but results vary with skin type, dose and sun exposure.

Dosing Logic – Clicks, mg and mcg

The Clinic pen system makes MT-2 dosing easy to understand:

• Total per pen: 10 mg MT-2 = 10,000 mcg
• Clicks per pen: 200
• Per click: 10,000 mcg ÷ 200 = 50 mcg per click

How Long a 10 mg MT-2 Pen Lasts

What to Expect & Common Side Effects

Typical Effects Users Report

• Freckles and moles may darken as part of the overall melanin increase.

Common Side Effects

• Mild nausea, especially on early doses.
• Flushed or warm feeling for a short time after use.
