What Is Microneedling with Elastic Lab?

Elastic Lab is a next-generation Korean skin booster uniquely developed around an elastin regeneration mechanism — a distinction that sets it apart from most other skin boosters, which target collagen or hydration primarily. Elastin is the protein in the dermis responsible for skin's ability to bounce back, maintain lift, and resist sagging — and unlike collagen, elastin production declines significantly with age and is rarely addressed directly by treatments.

 

Elastic Lab contains a precision-formulated blend of sodium hyaluronate, essential amino acids (Glycine, Proline, Leucine, Lysine, Alanine, and Valine), and copper sulfate. These ingredients work synergistically to stimulate biosynthesis of both elastin and collagen in the dermis. Clinical studies demonstrate that Elastic Lab increases elastin production by 300% and collagen production by 200%, with subjects showing a clinically measured 23.4% lift in skin elasticity following treatment.

 

When infused through SkinPen® micro-channels, Elastic Lab penetrates directly into the dermis — the layer where elastin and collagen are synthesized — delivering its active ingredients where skin structural rebuilding actually occurs. The result is progressive improvement in skin firmness, density, and elasticity that develops naturally over weeks.

 

At Monaco Aesthetics & Wellness, Microneedling with Elastic Lab is performed using the SkinPen® — the only FDA-cleared microneedling device — ensuring safe, precise delivery every session.

​

Microneedling with Elastic Lab effectively addresses:

• Loss of skin firmness, lift, and structural resilience

• Reduced skin elasticity and 'bounce'

• Fine lines and early wrinkles

• Skin sagging or softening

• Reduced skin density and thickness

• Enlarged pores

• Dull or aging complexion

 

Benefits of Microneedling with Elastic Lab

What makes Elastic Lab exceptional is that it directly targets elastin — a structural protein that most skin treatments simply don't address. By restoring elastin at a cellular level, Elastic Lab doesn't just temporarily improve how the skin looks — it rebuilds what the skin has structurally lost over time.

 

Combined with the collagen-stimulating power of SkinPen® microneedling, the treatment creates a dual regenerative response: the microneedling rebuilds collagen and triggers skin renewal, while Elastic Lab amplifies elastin and collagen synthesis through its active ingredient blend.

​

• 300% increase in elastin production (clinical study data)

• 200% increase in collagen production (clinical study data)

• 23.4% measurable lift in skin elasticity post-treatment

• Improved skin density, thickness, and structural integrity

• Reduction in fine lines and softening of early wrinkles

• Enhanced skin firmness and natural lift

• Improved pore appearance and skin texture

• Safe for all skin types and tones

• Minimal downtime — typically 1 to 3 days 

 

Who Is a Good Candidate for Microneedling with Elastic Lab?

Microneedling with Elastic Lab is designed for patients whose primary concern is structural — skin that has begun to loosen, soften, or lose the firmness and definition it once had. It's an excellent option for patients in their 30s, 40s, and 50s who are beginning to notice these changes and want to address them with a non-surgical, science-driven approach.

​

You may be an excellent candidate if you are:

• Noticing a loss of skin firmness, lift, or definition

• Experiencing skin that feels softer or more lax than it used to

• Dealing with early jowling, softening along the jawline, or reduced facial structure Concerned about fine lines and the early signs of structural aging

• Looking for a non-surgical option to improve skin firmness

• Interested in addressing elastin loss specifically

• Wanting results that build progressively and look entirely natural

 

Microneedling with Elastic Lab is generally not recommended for patients who:

• Have active acne breakouts or skin infections in the treatment area

• Have a personal history of keloid or abnormal scarring

• Are currently pregnant or breastfeeding

• Have a chronic skin condition affecting the treatment area

 

Your provider at Monaco Aesthetics & Wellness will review your skin and health history at your consultation to confirm this is the right treatment path for you.

 

 What to Expect During Your Microneedling + Elastic Lab Treatment

​

Before Your Appointment

Arrive with clean skin, free of makeup and active skincare products. Your provider may recommend pausing retinoids or exfoliating acids a few days prior to your session to minimize sensitivity.

 

During Your Treatment

Your provider will cleanse your skin and apply a topical numbing cream. Once comfortable, the SkinPen® device is used to create thousands of precise micro-channels across the treatment area. Elastic Lab is then applied and infused through those channels while the skin is maximally receptive — delivering its active ingredients directly into the dermis. Most patients experience mild pressure and a light vibrating sensation. Total appointment time is approximately 45 to 60 minutes.

 

After Your Treatment

Mild redness, warmth, and tightness are expected immediately following treatment and typically resolve within a few days:

• Days 1–2: Mild redness and skin sensitivity. Avoid makeup for the first 6–8 hours.

• Days 3–5: Possible light dryness or flaking as the skin renews itself.

• Days 7–10: Side effects fully resolve. Skin appears increasingly smooth and refined

 

Avoid intense exercise, saunas, swimming, and direct sun exposure for 5 days. Daily broadspectrum SPF is essential throughout the healing phase.

 

 Microneedling + Elastic Lab Results

Results from Microneedling with Elastic Lab develop progressively — as newly stimulated elastin and collagen are synthesized in the dermis over the weeks following each session. Patients typically begin to notice improvements in skin firmness, texture, and elasticity within four to six weeks of their first treatment, with results continuing to build throughout a complete series.

​

Clinical data on Elastic Lab shows:

• 300% increase in elastin production following treatment

• 200% increase in collagen production

• 23.4% measurable lift in skin elasticity post-treatment

• Improvements in skin moisture, pore size, skin flushing, and overall density

 

Most patients benefit from a series of three to four sessions spaced four weeks apart. Maintenance treatments can be scheduled annually or as needed to sustain results. Your provider will build a personalized plan at your consultation.

Microneedling + Elastic Lab FAQ

​

What makes Elastic Lab different from other skin boosters?

Most skin boosters focus primarily on hydration or collagen. Elastic Lab is specifically formulated around elastin regeneration — targeting the structural protein most responsible for skin lift, bounce, and firmness. Clinical data shows a 300% increase in elastin production and 23.4% measurable lift in elasticity, making it uniquely suited for patients dealing with skin laxity and structural aging.

 

Is Microneedling with Elastic Lab painful?

Most patients tolerate this treatment very well. A topical numbing cream is applied before the procedure. During treatment, most patients describe the sensation as mild pressure and a light vibrating feeling. Significant discomfort is uncommon. How many treatments will I need? Most patients benefit from a series of three to four sessions spaced four weeks apart for optimal results. Results build progressively with each session. Your provider will recommend a personalized plan at your consultation.

 

When will I see results?

Most patients begin to notice improvements in skin firmness and texture within four to six weeks of the first treatment. Results continue to develop as new elastin and collagen are synthesized — typically reaching their full expression eight to twelve weeks after completing a treatment series.

 

Is Elastic Lab safe for all skin types?

Yes. Elastic Lab is a topical booster formulated for use following procedures that increase skin permeability — like SkinPen® microneedling. It is safe for all skin types and tones across the Fitzpatrick scale.

 

Can Microneedling with Elastic Lab be combined with other treatments?

Yes — it pairs well with VI Peel, HydraFacial, CoolPeel, and Everesse laser. Your provider will advise on appropriate sequencing and timing for your overall skin health plan.

 

Is this a good treatment for preventing future sagging?

Absolutely. Elastic Lab is an excellent preventative treatment for patients in their 30s and early 40s who want to support skin firmness before significant laxity develops. Stimulating elastin production before it declines significantly is one of the most effective things you can do for longterm skin structure.
