Elastin is a fibrous protein that provides structural support to the skin, giving it a firm contour.

Elastin fibers act like rubberbands in the skin, giving it the ability to stretch and snap back into shape.

• Collagen is a structural fiber in skin that fills in skin matrix.
• Elastin fibers provide structural support for skin matrix.
• Skirt example: While the majority of the skirt consists of fabric (collagen), it cannot serve it’s purpose without an elastic waistband (elastin).

As we age, our elastin content decreases. This compromises the support network necessary to maintain firm skin. The result is a loss of contour or sagging skin.

What causes elastin to decrease?
While we are in our 20’s, the ratio of select signal molecules is balanced. This supports healthy elastin production.
A signal molecule blocks the anti-elastin signal molecule from binding to its receptor, allowing elastin production to continue.

The anti-elastin signal molecule binds to its receptor, causing a disruption in elastin production.
When we age, the equilibrium is disrupted. This results in a decrease in both elastin production and elastin content.
