Elastin and collagen are structural proteins that bind blood vessels and nerves and specialized cells to form tissues and organs. Elastin gives flexibility whereas collagen provides the firmness to a tissue. Elastin and collagen are abundant in the dermal layer of the skin. As a person ages, the ability to produce and to repair these proteins gradually diminishes, resulting in wrinkles and a decrease in the thickness of the skin.
