    GlossaryElastin Synthesis

    process of producing protein that gives tissues elasticity

    Elastin synthesis is the process by which the body produces elastin, a key protein that gives tissues like skin, blood vessels, and lungs their elastic properties, allowing them to stretch and return to their original shape. This process involves the assembly of tropoelastin molecules, which are then cross-linked to form mature elastin fibers, essential for maintaining the structural integrity and flexibility of various organs and tissues.

      Microneedling does not prevent future hair transplants, but some surgeons report the skin becomes "harder" in treated areas. There is no clear evidence to confirm this effect.
