Neocollagenesis and neoelastinogenesis: From the laboratory to the clinic

An internet search was made looking for articles about chemical and physical modalities that are known to induce collagen and elastin formation. Textbooks, independent articles, journals and books on pathology, biochemistry, aesthetic medicine and cosmetic and plastic surgery were used as references. Here, we take a look at various studies, in vitro and in vivo , that lend credence to the products and procedures used in clinical practice to induce neocollagenesis and neoelastinogenesis.
