This comparison does not assign a generated winner or score.
- Visible Tanning (Fitzpatrick I–II)
- Slight undertone shift, minimal darkening
- 2–3 shade deepening, noticeable bronze tone
- Stable pigmentation, no further darkening without dose increase
- Legitimate results match melanogenesis kinetics. Dramatic overnight changes indicate photo manipulation
- Visible Tanning (Fitzpatrick IV–V)
- Barely perceptible change
- 0.5–1 shade deepening, subtle warmth
- Minimal additional change from baseline
- Higher baseline melanin limits MT-2 response ceiling. Expect modest enhancement, not transformation
- Appetite Suppression Effect
- 15–25% caloric intake reduction, peaks 4–6 hours post-injection
- Sustained but diminished as tolerance develops
- Requires dose increase or cycling to maintain effect
- MC4R-mediated satiety is dose-dependent and subject to receptor desensitization over time
- Nausea Incidence
- 40–50% of users, resolves within 5–7 days for most
- Rare unless dose is increased sharply
- Minimal once stable maintenance dose established
- Transient GI effects during titration are normal. Persistent nausea beyond week 2 suggests dose is too high
- Fat Loss (Body Composition)
- 0.5–1.5% body fat reduction if caloric deficit maintained
- 2–4% reduction over 8–12 weeks with structured deficit
- Dependent on continued appetite suppression and dietary adherence
- Fat loss is secondary to appetite modulation, not direct lipolysis. Results vanish without caloric control
- Skin Freckling/Mole Darkening
- Begins in 20–30% of users by day 10–14
- Increasingly visible, particularly in sun-exposed areas
- Permanent in most cases, does not reverse post-cessation
- Melanocyte hyperactivation in pre-existing pigmented lesions. Cosmetically significant for some users
