Melanotan-1

Melanotan-1 (afamelanotide) is a synthetic analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone that increases melanin in the skin. As an implant it is an approved medicine for a rare light-sensitivity disorder.

Unlicensed tanning products are a different matter: regulators warn against them, and any change in a mole should be checked by a doctor.
