- The Melanotan-1 results timeline varies based on loading dose, UV exposure strategy, and baseline skin type. The table below compares three common protocols used in research settings.
- Conservative Loading
- 0.25mg daily × 14 days
- 0.5 MED 3×/week
- 10–14
- 6–8
- Slowest onset but lowest side effect incidence; ideal for Fitzpatrick type I or first-time users
- Standard Loading
- 0.5–1.0mg daily × 14 days
- 0.75 MED 3×/week
- 8–12
- 4–6
- Most commonly used protocol; balances timeline acceleration with tolerability
- Aggressive Loading
- 1.0mg daily × 10 days
- 1.0 MED 4×/week
- 7–10
- 4–5
- Fastest visible results but nausea and flushing occur in 40–60% of users; no evidence of superior peak pigmentation vs standard protocol
