Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as messengers in the body.


They can signal tissues to repair, reduce inflammation, burn fat, build collagen, improve sleep, strengthen immunity, and enhance cognition.


At The Dose Buffalo, we personalize each peptide protocol to your labs, symptoms, metabolism, and goals.

  • Photoprotection • Even Tone • Collagen Preservation • Glow

    What it is:
    Melanotan II is a synthetic analog of the alpha-MSH peptide, a naturally occurring hormone that stimulates melanin production in the skin. Beyond tanning, it supports skin protection, collagen integrity, and cellular defense against UV damage, making it a valuable tool in anti-aging and skin health protocols.

    How it works (skin + anti-aging mechanism):
    Melanotan II stimulates the melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) on melanocytes—the skin cells responsible for melanin production.
    This leads to:

    • Increased production of protective eumelanin

    • More uniform pigmentation

    • Reduced UV-induced DNA damage

    • Enhanced skin resilience

    • Lower oxidative stress in skin cells

    It also influences melanogenesis pathways connected to collagen protection and inflammation reduction.

    Best for:

    • Premature aging from sun exposure

    • Uneven skin tone or hyperpigmentation (non-melasma conditions)

    • Fair skin needing UV protection

    • Clients undergoing skin procedures (PRP, microneedling, peels)

    • Seasonal skin dullness

    • Photoaging prevention

    • Skin sensitivity to sunlight

    Benefits clients typically experience:

    • A natural-looking sun-kissed glow

    • Protection against UV damage (less burning)

    • More even skin tone

    • Healthier complexion and brightness

    • Better tolerance to outdoor exposure

    • Enhanced confidence in appearance

    • Reduced need for tanning beds or spray tans

    Why we use it:
    Unlike topical tanning products, Melanotan II supports internal photoprotection — meaning deeper, cellular-level defense against UV damage.
    This helps:

    • Prevent fine lines and sun-related aging

    • Protect collagen from degradation

    • Reduce inflammation and oxidative stress

    • Support long-term skin vitality

    When paired with GHK-Cu, microneedling/PRP, or antioxidants, results are amplified for complexion, firmness, and glow.
