the fairly dark freckles/ moles that you have get the real dark color, the light freckels get to that darker color and become more noticeable, the freckles that were very faint, the ones that you didn't even see before w/o the 3" mirror inspection, they now become visible too. Those are the ones that people say, "It made me get NEW freckles", they aren't new, they were just so light that you didn't see them. In one sence they are new, but MT2 didn't "create" them, they were already there. It's my experience that the UV exposure doesn't make them any darker than they already are, but the sun can make the seem lighter by darkening your skin and moving closer to that color.
When you get sun this weekend, use a moderate SPF, don't burn! That is important, you want to protect yourself so that you don't even come close to sunburn and the possibility of peeling or drying out your skin and flaking, etc. Keep moisturized and moderately SPF'd, very important.

Yup I was going to use an SPF 15 this weekend.

As far as the dark freckles. About 5 of them on my face are really dark and were never there before, or at least were so light that I never saw them even when I was super pale.

So I decided I'm going to try shooting .25mg tonight and see if I get more freckles. Hopefully the lower dose will keep that from happening. I only weigh 160 and apparently AAP (who weighs 260) was using the .5mg a day dose, so needless to say it was probably too much for me. I think it is worth saying again that most of the charts you will find online are WAY off and recommend a much higher dose than actually needed. If I still see freckles off of .25mg at a time, I will drop to .125 mg at a time and see if I still get them. I'll be in the sun tomorrow so we'll see how dark I get.

So far not one person noticed the freckles so even if I get a couple more in the name of science I don't care. Did I mention I like experimenting on myself?

lol, your exactly right, no one really pays that much attention, I had a few on my forehead of all places, nada, nothing, zip, even from my wife who didn't know at the time I was even using it.
As soon as I decreased the injects, they faded and my tan was covering them up. After about 2 months, they blended completely into the tan...

This makes me think of something I read on another thread about this. Someone posted a picture of a face under ultra-violet light or something to show existing sun damage. Their point was that the freckles that are showing up are basically already there as invisible sun damage. Their idea was that the mt2 was basically filling in those places first. I tend to agree with them as I noticed a darkening around my eyes, freckles on my forehead and so forth first. My face looked like a less extreme example of the photo- check out the photo in this link http://melanotan.org/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?num=1210259701

Interesting theory. Even if that is so, hopefully lowering the dosage taken per injection will even out the rate of darkening to let the regular skin get darker at the same pace as the damaged skin. I'll post up if I see any new freckles tomorrow after doing .25mg tonight.

good post, I think for the most part they are correct, freckles/ moles have an "affinity" for the melanin and show much quicker AND darker than other areas. That tells me that because they darken so readliy as opposed to other areas of skin, there has to be some kind of magnatism working, otherwise they, skin and freckles, would darken at the same rate.

But one thing that they don't say, and I realize that the poster wasn't covering all areas, but some people are genetically predisposed to have freckles, it isn't always sun damage. These people have the same problem, sun damage or not.

I assure you, I HAVE sun damage. Especially on my nose, it was burned many times till it was almost just a single blister. There wasn't SPF's back then in the late 70's, I assume that zinc oxide was, but at 19, I didn't care, I just wanted to be at the lake, pool, wherever and kept getting burned time and time again. My point, my nose didn't freckle, it tanned normally, was dark brown instead of reddish pink for the first time in years, maybe ever. I had never been out in the sun since 79' that my nose didn't burn if I forgot to use sunblock 50 until I started using MT2. Which, btw, was the reason for it's creation, to help people who are fair skinned and predisposed to skin cancers be able to enjoy the outdoors and live somewhat worry free of the sun and it's effects. Not for the vanity reasons that most of us seem to have latched onto.

And, the side effect that most men have, that's nice too. Comes in handy to have a willing and ready GF/ wife/ friend, who likes to get frisky alot.

Otherwise you may be caught in the frozen food section holding a frozen pizza on your crotch....

Well, my thinking would be that, like txbondsman is saying, the freckles and moles that are unseen will fill in first. But, if you can tan naturally anyway, I'm betting you have a good chance of what you are trying working in your case.

I'm about finished with my first 10 mg. and doing the same as you were, .5 mg ed. I had all the same things, flushing, upset stomach etc. Mine seemed to get much less noticeable after the first two injections. Then, I took a day off and came back and the flushing was pretty bad again- though nothing I couldn't handle. Got up in the night to pee last night and had to wait a bit, if you know what I mean. I just get the extra erections at night after my shot and when I'm trying to sleep..

How much do you weigh? From your avatar you look like you are significantly bigger than me. Given the weights of others getting good results with .5mg an inject I'm thinking .25mg may be just fine for me.

Yup he definitely seems to know his stuff.

I agree, he has helped me a great deal with my MT2.

I have taken a benadryl a half hour before i take the injection and it really helps me with the flushing, and congestion.
