Elastin is formed during early life and depletes after that. Adults cannot repair elastin except to a marginal degree, or during wound healing, in which case the elastin is disarranged. Collagen is crucial but so is elastin. Unfortunately, we can only prevent further damage to elastin but not repair damaged elastin. I desire to wear the skin like that of a baby. Even at 17, my skin is aged significantly beyond the ideal.
