Ageing and damaged skin loses its freshness and elasticity due to the progressive loss of three key molecules: Collagen, Hyaluronic Acid and Elastin. Therapeutic interventions to replenish these molecules have met with some success and products based on Collagen and in particular Hyaluronic Acid are well known in the field of aesthetic dermatology. Along with the muscle relaxant Botulinum toxin, Hyaluronic Acid has become a key feature in aesthetic treatments today.

But until now there has been limited success in the development of products using or focusing on the protein Elastin, despite substantial scientific evidence for its critical role in the maintenance of healthy supple skin.

As pioneers in the understanding and application of Elastin, Elastagen is developing Elastatherapy™ treatments which offer the chance to restore the levels of Elastin in human skin, with benefits anticipated in both cosmetic and medical dermatology applications.
