Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Relaxin is a naturally occurring protein prduced by the ovary or placenta in pregnancy. It has ani-fibrotic properties. Previous studies have shown that relaxin is safe at concentrations upto 60 times higher than achieved in pregnancy. Study is designed to see if skin improvement and improvement in functional ability can be achieved.
