Collagen is overrated. Why not Elastin?

Has anyone considered the use of Elastin based peptides? I find that much of skin care just focuses on improving collagen synthesis. Although it is clearly important for skin health, elastin ultimately governs the flexibility and firmness of the skin. Elastin decides how bad your wrinkles will become.

So it makes sense to target that elastin receptor in the skin to help improve it.

Elastin based peptides help reduce wrinkles. Can they help the scalp too?

I think the future of skincare will primarily focus on rebuilding elastin. But I wonder if anyone has ever tried elastin based peptides on their scalp? After the scalp is just skin however anymore minor inflammation there converts to noticeable increases of hair fall.

Elastin might be good for rebuilding damaged barriers. I would consider its use along side a hyaluronic acid gel.
