What are the three elements that make up the skin?

An abundance of elastin, collagen, and hyaluronic acid means skin that is soft, taut, even in texture and tone, and remains resilient to the environment. These nutrients are responsible for creating dermal volume, which in-turn, equals smooth skin. As we age, however, the skin stops producing collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. Diet, smoking, the aging process, illness, weight fluctuations, sun damage, and hormonal changes can all decrease these three fundamental elements. Without these fibrous proteins, sagging and wrinkles soon appear. Profound is a unique device, providing the first ever method to restore all of three of the skin’s vital building blocks.
