What Our Patients Say

Qwo® Cellulite Injectable

SAY HELLO TO THE FIRST & ONLY FDA-APPROVED INJECTABLE FOR CELLULITE

Cellulite is a common concern for many women. Over 90% of women are affected by cellulite within their lifetime. A healthy diet and frequent, regular exercise do not improve the appearance of cellulite and topical products on the market are ineffective or the results are short lived. We now offer an injectable therapy called Qwo®, which addresses cellulite at its root cause. Qwo® is the first and currently only FDA- approved injectable for the permanent reduction of moderate to severe cellulite in the buttocks of adult women.

WHAT IS CELLULITE?

Cellulite are dimples that occur due to three reasons: thinning of skin over time, enlargement of fat cells which push against the skin, and fibrous bands under the skin’s surface which thicken and cause tension. A healthy diet and muscle-strengthening exercises, in general, do not effectively address these physiologic changes and do not significantly improve the appearance of cellulite. Liposuction, commonly used for body contouring and to get rid of bothersome deposits of fat, is also ineffective in the treatment of cellulite. Qwo® targets the structural cause of cellulite.

HOW DOES QWO® WORK?

Qwo® is made from enzymes called collagenases. These enzymes target the structural cause of cellulite under the skin where cellulite starts. It releases the fibrous bands which in turn redistributes fat cells and it also stimulates the growth of new collagen. This leads to a smoother appearance of the treated skin.

How quickly are results seen and how many treatments are needed?

Results from Qwo® injectable can be seen in less than 3 months. Three treatments are spaced three weeks apart. Dimples are identified and Qwo® injectable is delivered to each cellulite dimple through a small gauge needle. No sedation is needed.

WHAT IS RECOVERY LIKE?

Patients can expect bruising and mild to moderate soreness in the treated areas. The treated area can be covered with clothing and there is no social downtime. Because bruising is common side-effect of injections, we recommend you complete your three Qwo® treatments, separated by 3 weeks, well before or after bikini season. We also recommend compression (in the form of a Spanx®-like garment) for a few days after treatment, as this helps decrease swelling and bruising.

Who is a candidate for Qwo® ?

A thorough consultation is recommended prior to treatment. Ideal candidates are in good health and not taking prescription blood thinning medications. Candidates must be at least 18 years of age with moderate to severe cellulite in the buttock region. Allergies to any collagenase enzyme or to the ingredients in Qwo® or active infections in the treatment area are contraindications to receiving treatment.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF QWO® ?

Qwo® is a minimally invasive and permanent treatment for cellulite that generally provides results in as little as 10 weeks and 3 treatment sessions. It has been tested on over 1,800 women and has demonstrated safety and efficacy in reducing the appearance of cellulite.

What if there is cellulite and also skin laxity?

While Qwo® treats cellulite dimples, skin laxity (or loose skin) is another bothersome feature that can develop with age, weight changes and pregnancy. This is also something that can’t be fixed by a healthy diet and exercise regimen. Morpheus8 radiofrequency microneedling can help improve the appearance of loose skin and texture.
