Tanning injections?

[davethedeer]

Has anyone used these? Do they make you feel sick and your moles go darker? Also has anyone used them while pregnant and did they effect your baby eg. were they born with funny coloured skin?

never heard of them. why, are you thinking of having them?

Are you taking the piss?

I've got a vague idea that they do actually exist.........but pregnant? Are you having a laugh?

Here's a long discussion from 2008.

have just asked Uncle Google (fountain of all knowledge), and it would seem that tanning injections aren't licensed and are illegal in the UK. I'm guessing that's for a reason.

i dont understand why anyone would want to inject themselves withsomething they dont need

ooooh maybe the op pregnant to a white man and their partner is black and needs the baby to be coloured ala footballers wives?

davethedeer - just come over to MN today then? First post and all that. Not replying to the questions on your own thread?

Go back to PH now and play with your cars

They are available over here. Not licensed.

Side effects and long term damage unknown.

I had a patient about 4 years ago that had used them and he went yellow. Tests were done for liver function but I have no idea of the results as i went off duty.

biddy i think you may have hit the nail on the head. Forget the tanning injections idea OP, and invest in some brown shoe polish.

The idiots are getting more and more idiotic.

i have never heard of tanning injections but i think you can get tablets that pigment your skin.

i cant imagine ever wanting to pollute my body with something that i have no idea what is in it just to get browner skin i am white as a ghost too and i dont tan naturally either so never likely to have a tan naturally.

if you are pregnant and you are considering this, all i can say is i am as to why you would think it may be a good idea to inject your body with god knows what and possibly harm your baby all for a tan...never heard of false tan?

I had them tri weekly while I was pregnant.

When my baby was born he looked like Dale Winton.

If you are pregnant you should not be giving a moment's thought to injecting yourself with an unproven substance. If you absolutely must have a tan (and please ask yourself why you feel you must - lost of fake tan looks ridiculously fake) PLEASE wait till after your baby's born.

ShirleyKnot, is that true? Has your baby turned out a normal colour now? Were there any other effects and were you not worried when you took them? I take it you would not take them again if you were pregnant?

at ShirleyKnot
double at "ShirleyKnot, is that true?"

ShirleyKnot= wind up/ OP = troll (I hope)

I think maybe more of a journo than a troll.

My baby is still quite orange TBH, although he's not a baby anymore he's a strapping lad of 14. THe only other side effects are that he occasionally shouts out "BRING ON THE WALL!" when we're in restaurants; and also he seems to have an aversion to Supermarkets.

rofl..........f**k me that's funny!

Dear god some people are dumb, right up there with injecting a toxin into your face.

Still, not my body so I don't care.
