Could you please share the link to the product you get and your supplier? I have done mesotherapy on myself and would love to try the Radiesse alternative you mentioned 
The only way elastogenisis can be “restarted” is with gene therapy IMHO, maybe CRISPER with an off switch. AI may be able to come up with a solution at some point but one would need to feed it a LOT of data on this problem.
The first thing you need to understand is how elastin made and why (more importantly) that process stops at the age of 13.
Once you come to grips with that, you will have a better idea of why this is such a difficult problem, which very few researchers are working on. Because it is well known in dermatology at the highest (honest) levels, any company looking to do real research on this has a hard time getting funding.
Very minor superficial repair in the skin is not a real solution, that’s not even a lead to a systemic solution.
I do differentiate between skin focused therapies and systemic therapies.
It’s not just the creation of new elastin that is needed, because too much is part of problems like fibrosis. What is needed is the right configurations of elastin in the right areas.
As mentioned in the theory above, certain scaffolds are probably needed to guide this formation.
Something like CRISPR would be even better of course.
I’ll continue doing these periodic reviews of the latest literature to uncover information. Hopefully we gain a clearer picture as I continue this process, and hopefully anyone with any connections to science and studies takes that information and runs with it.
If I find anything particularly interesting I’ll consider fundraising a study, but that would be very far down the road if it happens.
