[Research] Micro needling increases collagen but decreases elastin?

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I read a paper from 2015 about how micro needling can be used to treat atrophic acne scars.I found these two quotes interesting:There was a statistically significant increase (p<0.05) in the mean of collagen types I, III, and VII and newly synthesized collagen, while total elastin was significantly decreased (p<0.05) after the end of treatment.Assessment of ECM proteins showed statistically significant (p<0.05) enhancement of collagen and elastin deposition and formation in response to skin microneedling therapy. There was slight, but statistically nonsignificant (p>0.05) increase in collagen (types I, III, VII and newly synthesized) and tropoelastin, which was accompanied by a decrease in total elastin level after one month of treatment. These changes continued to show statistically significant (p<0.05) enhancement three months after starting treatment.My rudimentary understanding is that elastin is generally considered a good thing, which would suggest that a decrease in total elastin is a bad thing. It’s also interesting that it says there was an enhancement of elastin deposition and formation.It would be interesting to hear a derm interpretation of this.
