Tanning Injections: How They Work - Trutan. In many cultures, it is perceived as attractive to have tanned or darker coloured skin. In the past 12-months, 16% of Brits have used some form of false tan; in the US, an estimated 10 million people regularly use different tanning methods. However, as consumers, we are becoming increasingly aware of the dangers associated with sunbed tanning and are opting for other solutions deemed to be safer. Here is where tanning injections come into play.
What are Tanning Injections? Tanning injections mimic a hormone in the body that results in the skin producing a pigment called Melanin. The synthetic hormone stimulates the pigment cells, which causes them to produce a larger amount of Melanin, which gives the skin a darker colour when exposed to sunlight. Although there is a lot of controversy over this tanning method, and it is illegal to buy in many countries, demand has been rising for Melanotan II in recent years, specifically in Ireland, Scotland, and the North of England.
