What is the Ogee Roller?
The Ogee Roller is a state-of-the-art rolling device that uses pressure, texture, and heat to manipulate the skin.
What was the Ogee Roller designed to treat?
The Ogee Roller was designed specifically with liposuction patients in mind, minimizing skin irregularities and maximizing healing. However, it can also be used in many scenarios to aid sore muscles.
What types of features does the Ogee Roller have?
This innovative roller is small, textured and portable. It also offers heat, vibration and detachable handles!
What is the Ogee Roller made of and can it be cleaned?
The Ogee Roller is made from easy-to-clean plastic.
What types of complications does the Ogee Roller tackle?
During liposuction, there is a normal separation of tissue that happens based on how every surgeon uses the cannula to remove the body’s fat deposits. The body’s natural response to the separation of tissue is to repair it by creating fibers, which can often lead to fibrosis or lumps and/or bumps near the incision site. While the Ogee Roller’s vibration smooths skin and reduces deep-down scar tissue – helping to eliminate bumps, fibrosis and seromas – that isn’t all it helps with. The roller also encourages lymphatic drainage, swelling and circulation after surgery.
Why does the Ogee Roller have a textured surface? How does that help?
After liposuction, lymphatic channels collapse and can become stuck – ultimately causing scarring that can lead to fibrosis. The Ogee Roller’s pyramid-like texture act as one hundred little lymphatic massagers, opening up the damaged lymphatic channels and helping to remove the fluid and swelling that can lead to scar tissue and fibrosis.
How does the Ogee Roller work to smooth the skin?
To answer this, first, we need to understand what happens during the liposuction procedure. The process of liposuction carefully removes fat while preserving the blood supply and attachments of the underlying tissue to the skin. Imagine a spider web as the attachments and the holes in the web are the liposuctioned areas where fat was removed. After liposuction, the holes of the web collapse along with the threads of the web and, as the body heals, these web strands can ball up and form scar tissue leaving the skin lumpy and bumpy. The Ogee Roller has the ability to flatten and align these fibers so the scarring is minimized leaving the skin smoother and less lumpy, preventing the squandering of a great liposuction result.
Should the Ogee Roller be used over a garment?
If you are recently out of surgery, please use your roller over the top of your compression garments. It can also be used directly on skin as you heal and get comfortable.
Can the Ogee Roller be used without help?
Yes, and it’s encouraged! Certainly, after procedures like liposuction or a BBL, patients are highly encouraged to get lymphatic massages. However, by using the Ogee Roller from the comfort of your home, you can get a leg up on reducing your chances of complications like fibrosis.
How do you use it?
To use the Ogee Roller, click on the detachable handles and use it like a rolling pin. Apply firm pressure on all areas treated with liposuction. Once you begin the second pass-through, switch on the vibration and heat modes to stimulate the fascia and increase blood flow to tighten and smooth the skin.
When should I start using my Ogee Roller?
Begin one week after your surgery and continue for six months following surgery. The more frequently and the longer you roll, the better your results.
