Melanotan I, MT1 · How it is taken
The schedule
One implant, then about sixty days, then the next, placed by the specialist who is following your skin. The year is built around sunlight, so implants are concentrated in spring and summer and often stop through winter. Three to five in a year is the usual shape. The gap is set by how long the implant takes to dissolve and how long your pigment then holds.
