Only ELASTIderm™ is Proven to Bring Back the SNAP
ELASTIderm is a one of a kind topical eye treatment clinically proven to help restore elasticity to your patients’ periorbital skin and reduce visible fine lines and wrinkles.
What is SNAP?
SNAP is how patients using ELASTIderm describe the difference they see and feel in the skin around their eyes, when it snaps back into place.
What Creates SNAP in the Skin?
Elastin and collagen are structural proteins that make up the matrix that keeps the dermis firm, smooth, flexible and resistant to wrinkling.

  • Elastin delivers elasticity and resilience
  • Collagen provides strength
How Does the Skin Lose SNAP?
The body stops producing elastin around the age of 21. Fine lines and wrinkles are the result of sun exposure and the normal aging process, which contribute to the loss of elastin. The images below show the structure of elastin and collagen fibers in healthy vs. damaged skin.

Elastin
Elastin is a coil-like protein that provides the skin with its resiliency. Healthy elastin enables the skin to SNAP back into place. Damaged elastin lacks elasticity.
Type I Collagen
Collagen is the major protein that makes up the connective tissue within the skin. Healthy collagen provides supportive strength for elastin. Damaged collagen lacks the structure to be supportive.
Synergy of Elastin and Collagen
Elastin and collagen are proteins that work together to provide skin with supportive strength and resiliency. You can see how collagen provides the scaffolding upon which elastin can thrive. When damaged, these degraded proteins cannot support or provide lasting elasticity in the skin.
How Does ELASTIderm Restore SNAP in the Skin?
ELASTIderm uses a proprietary bi-mineral complex (Copper Zinc Malonate) that is clinically proven to help:

  • Restore elasticity
  • Build collagen production
