Basically elastin is the hardest thing to repair. Collagen is easy to fix
sure there’s things like white tea and ghk that reduce elastase(degration of elastin) but they’re kind of weak

this seems like the best way to fix the elastic network
A recent study showed that surgical delivery of exogenous tropoelastin via a collagen-based dermal substitute leads to the development of an extensive elastic fiber network in the deep dermis. Recombinant human tropoelastin has demonstrated early promise for wound repair, scar prevention and treatment, cosmetic applications, and aesthetics; it can be used by skin cells as a substrate to produce new elastic fibers. The applied use of tropoelastin for these indications is therefore a promising area of study.
I don’t want to make a novel on this so read the whole article and read the Reddit comments then discuss. The article is more informative though. It will take you about 20 mins
from everything I’ve read, it seems injecting tropoelastin is the way to go. The spray on skin for burn victims doesn’t repair the elastic network. It just repairs skin which is easy to repair. Hence tropoelastin injections being the best solution

Disruption of Elastin in the Aging Skin, and the Little that Can Presently Be Done About It
The flexibility of skin, and other elastic tissue such as blood vessel walls, depends upon the structural arrangement of elastin in the extracellular matrix. Elastin is largely laid down during the developmental period of life, and not much repaired thereafter. Disruption of this structure is...
