At week 4, women in the treatment group displayed improved skin elasticity (+12.7%), reduced wrinkle volume (16.5%), decreased transepidermal water loss (10.8%), increased hydration (+3.5%), and enhanced collagen density compared with baseline values (measured via specialized skin analysis instrumentation)

For a 2mg dose: 2mg = 2,000 mcg 2,000 mcg / 10,000 mcg/mL = 0.2mL 0.2mL x 100 = 20 units For a 6mg dose: 6mg = 6,000 mcg 6,000 mcg / 10,000 mcg/mL = 0.6mL 0.6mL x 100 = 60 units For a 12mg dose: 12mg = 12,000 mcg 12,000 mcg / 10,000 mcg/mL = 1.2mL 1.2mL x 100 = 120 units The same formula works at any concentration
