Melanotan-(1) "afamelanotide / Scenesse" is reported on by the BBC's Christian Mahne. He reports on Clinuvel's (then called Epitan) development of the drug called Melanotan-(1) "afamelanotide / Scenesse" with explanations of its long lasting photoprotective melanin increasing tanning effects and how it will be administered (at least initially) via a single half-matchstick sized subcutaneous implant.
