Does microneedling help elastin?

Question

Will it help the elastin layer become more taut? Tighten up ? Or does it only reach the collagen layer ?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Collagen and Elastin are proteins in the skin that work together to shape your skins appearance. Treatments like microneedling will stimulate both of these proteins to “get in shape” and improve the appearance and texture of skin. By undergoing treatments, we restore and replenish lost Collagen and Elastin for a more youthful appearance.

Microneedling has been shown to stimulate collagen production which will help with uneven skin texture, enlarged pores, and fine lines.

Mitchell Schwartz, MD - Account Suspended · Answer

Microneedling stimulates the formation of both collagen and elastin fibers in the skin. For the best results, microneedling should be combined with the application of an effective serum. Micro-channels in the skin are created which enhance penetration of topical serums and medications, dramatically increasing their effectiveness. Up to 80% of product can penetrate the skin compared to 7 to 10% with normal topical application.
In my office, we use the ProCell Therapies system which combines motorized microneedling with concentrated human growth factor serums made from human stem cells. Our patients also use growth factor serum at home after the office treatment.
