Collagen Induction

Dr le Grange uses a Medical Roller equipped with tiny stainless steel needles, or a similar device, to induce collagen production. Collagen is connective tissue that plumps up the skin.

How it works:

• The Roller makes small microscopic punctures in the skin. The mild micro-trauma to the skin stimulates fibroblastic activity in the area, which firms the skin.
• The punctures in the skin allow penetration of the active products that are placed on the skin during the treatment (transdermal delivery).

The result:

• The procedure stimulates collagen production and cell renewal.
• It provides a route that allows for the absorption of products two hundred times better. These products contains molecules or growth factors that occur naturally in the body and stimulate growth.
• The skin texture improves, fine lines disappear, the skin becomes firmer and even pigmentation marks can improve.

The Cosmetic Roller is used by a therapist, using highly concentrated collagen-stimulating serums. It can also be used at home.

The Medical Roller is used only by a Medical doctor. The treatment is deeper, with 
more dramatic results. A topical anaesthetic is applied 40 minutes before the treatment.

This is a very popular treatment, with many of our patients commenting on how the thin, loose skin in their faces has tightened up.
