Peptides for tanning
24 Aug 2017
What are peptides for sunburn? These are genetically modified biologically active substances, allowing in the shortest possible time to obtain a beautiful, uniform, swarthy skin color. These compounds, which can regulate the processes of melanogenesis, have found wide application in cosmetology, medicine and sports pharmacology.
Peptides-stimulants of melanogenesis
Peptides for tanning, which enhance the production of melanin (an amorphous pigment produced by melanocytes), by binding to the MC1-R receptors, have a direct effect on melanogenesis. To date, several synthetic analogues of peptide melanostimulating hormone have been created, which triggers the production of pigment, which gives the skin a beautiful golden tone even without prolonged exposure to the sun. This group includes such biostimulants as peptide for tanning Melanotan-2 (Melanotan-2), Melatime, Melitane.
Peptides-stimulants of melanogenesis, in addition to tanning, have a number of other positive effects:
- Protect from harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation;
- Reduce the risk of sunburn;
- Prevent the development of skin cancer;
- Strengthen the libido (sexual function);
- Suppress appetite.
As evidenced by reviews of peptides for sunburn, the visual effect appears about a week after the first injection. To maintain a stable even skin tone, the drug is advised to be administered 2 times in 7 days, for 2-4 weeks. With the right dosage, which is calculated individually, taking into account the body weight, it provides a therapeutic tan even for people at risk.
