ELASTIN AND YOUR SKIN

Monaco MedSpa

Elastin Provides Strength & Elasticity To Your Skin

Elastin: The Skin's Elastic Fibers


Elastin is a protein that gives your skin its elasticity, allowing it to stretch and bounce back. It's a crucial component of the extracellular matrix, a network of proteins and other molecules that support your skin cells.


How Does Elastin Work?

Elasticity: Elastin fibers form a network that allows your skin to stretch and contract, like a rubber band. This is essential for facial expressions and maintaining a youthful appearance.

Support: Elastin also provides structural support to your skin, helping to keep it firm and toned.


Factors That Affect Elastin Production

Aging: As you age, your body naturally produces less elastin, leading to decreased skin elasticity and the development of wrinkles.

Sun damage: Exposure to UV rays can break down elastin fibers, contributing to premature aging.

Smoking: Smoking can accelerate the breakdown of elastin, leading to wrinkles and sagging skin.

Hormonal changes: Hormonal fluctuations, such as those that occur during menopause, can affect elastin production.


Boosting Elastin Production

You can take steps to protect and support the existing elastin fibers:

Sun protection:  Wear sunscreen daily to protect your skin from UV damage.

Quit smoking:  Smoking can significantly accelerate the breakdown of elastin.

Healthy diet:  A diet rich in antioxidants can help protect your skin from damage.

Skincare products: Some skincare products contain ingredients that can help improve skin elasticity, such as retinol and vitamin C.

Topical treatments: Certain topical treatments, such as lasers and radiofrequency devices, can help stimulate collagen and elastin production.


Elastin is a molecule in your skin tissues that keeps your skin tight. As you age, your body stops making it. Once it is gone, your skin starts to wrinkle and develop fine lines. Nowadays, there are many ways to help stimulate the production of elastin in your face, eyelids, neck & entire body.


How To Stimulate Elastin Production

  • Lasers, Radiofrequency, Morpheus8, Plasma Pen, Ultrasound Therapy, Microneedling, PRP/PRF.
  • Biostimulatory Fillers, such as Sculptra & Radiesse, provide contouring and also stimulate long-term production of elastin and collagen.
