I have been using the melonatan II injections for the past week. Does it work? Yes! Although an increase in freckles is a definate. Side effects... a few rather unpleasant one's, nausea, headaches, tummy ache, hot flushes. These don't tend to fade the more you use it and have been severe enough for me to consider stop using it, will I..? No! I have used sunbeds most of my adult life and have sun damage on my face. Using Melonatan has hidden the sun damage and I always use a factor 15 on my face when I go out, even in the winter to avoid any further sun damage. Melonatan has given me the oppotunity to have a golden tan without the damaging effects of the sun and sunbeds.
