    Will have a look once I get home but do believe the needles are 1 ml (100 units)
    "


    I thought you said earlier they were 50 units, either way it doesn't really make much of a difference!
    If your needles are 100 units they may be in 2 unit intervals, meaning a half unit will be difficult to measure. If this is the case either just use 2 units or you could double up all liquid measures given.
    "

    Just checked and can confirm the needles are 0.5ml 50 units so how much bac water do i need to put in the 5mg of MT2, sorry if I ask a lot of questions just want to make sure I get this all correct

    Re: Skin Type 2 - Melanotan 2

    It's up to you the two options are;


    Use 50 units;
    250mcg = 2.5 units
    500mcg = 5 units


    Use 100 units;
    250mcg = 5 units
    500mcg = 10 units


    So if you feel confident measuring a half unit, go for the smaller amount. If not, go for the larger.

    I will use the 100 units as makes it easier rather than messing round with half units,

    This is what I am going to do

    Day 1-2]Day 3-7: 500mcg

    Should I carry on everyday at 500mcg and then once I am at the colour I want just dose 500mcg once a week

    SUNBEDS

    1st sunbed session on day 3 or 4 then every 3-4 days have a sunbed session for 6-9 minutes a session

    Does this all sound ok

    All sounds good! Personally I spread it out to every other day after about a week and a half, and then a week later to every three days. You can gradually start spacing it out like this to find where you maintain a good level of tanning. Its always better to have a little bit of tan fade away than it is to go too dark - you can always adjust dosages later but tanned skin can take months to go away!.


    As to the sunbeds it doesn't have to be so formal, just aiming for around twice a week will be fine.
    If you miss it the one day it's fine, just go when you can.
    It's also about enjoying the experience, not being stressed out about specifics that don't really matter! ]

    Re: Skin Type 2 - Melanotan 2

    Is keep continuing as you are. 500mcg and 2 bed sessions a week should be adequate.

    It may just be that you're not noticing it.

    Let us know how it goes!
    If you don't start seeing results soon it may be dodgy product.

    What are the sides like?

    Re: Skin Type 2 - Melanotan 2

    A whole u100 full would be an uncomfortable shot.
    Why dilute so much?

    Not quite.


    1mg = 1,000mcg
    1ml = 100 units


    So;
    If you do 400 units of water in 10,000mcg each unit will be 25mcg.
    So you'll need 20 units for 500mcg.


    I would recommend using 200 units (2ml) of water for this. That'll be 10 units for 500mcg.
