How does it work?
​
Micro-needling creates thousands of micro-channels (microscopic holes) at a rate of 1600 per second. These wounds stimulate your skin to heal boosting fibrin and collagen production without relying on heat or chemicals,
The SkinPen used at Bonds Aesthetics follows 3 of the known stages of wound healing to achieve the optimum result.
Inflammation
​
SkinPen’s microneedles pierce the skin, triggering your immune system to disinfect the wounds, remove debris, increase blood flow, and begin to create new tissue.
​
Proliferation
​
The micro-wounds are reconstructed with new cells called granulation cells that include collagen proteins, while also creating new blood vessels.
Remodelling
​
Following on from the proliferation stage the micro-wounds are replaced with new dermal tissues and blood vessels which are comprised of rich collagen and elastin proteins. These proteins improve skin youthfulness, complexion and texture.
​
Who is micro-needling good for?
​
Micro-needling is an excellent treatment for anyone who wants to improve the appearance of wrinkles, scars, and other skin concerns listed above. The aim of micro-needling is to stimulate collagen growth, which helps make the skin’s appearance more even, youthful, and vibrant.
