If you’re one of the 90 percent of women who are dealing with cellulite, you’ve probably tried a number of treatments, from creams to skin-enhancing formulas, not to mention a healthy diet and exercise, to get rid of cellulite dimples.
Until now, there has been no injectable treatment available to simply and easily get rid of cellulite dimples and smooth the skin. We provide QWO, an injectable treatment that addresses the source of cellulite under the skin.
Cellulite is caused by fibrous cords called septae that pull down on the skin. These fibrous cords run through the layer of fat cells between your skin and the muscle beneath. Fat cells push upward and the cords pull downward toward the muscles, causing dimples that worsen as the skin begins to thin with age.
Women experience a number of benefits with QWO treatments, including:
QWO (rhymes with “flow”) is an FDA-approved injectable designed to dissolve the septae that are causing cellulite dimples. QWO is the first and only injectable treatment of its kind.
QWO is made from Collagenase Clostridium Histolyticum, an enzyme that destroys the protein that builds septae. QWO dissolves the fibrous cords to help release their hold on the skin. This encourages the fat cells to redistribute evenly and stimulates the production of collagen to create stronger, thicker, renewed skin. The result is smoother skin and more free of cellulite dimples.
Before your QWO treatment, we will ask you to stand relaxed, with your feet slightly apart. This makes cellulite dimples most apparent. We will then select the dimples for treatment, circle them and mark them with a dot. QWO can treat a maximum of 6-12 dimples per buttock.
QWO does not need numbing cream or anesthetic, as the treatment is relatively painless. When you are ready for treatment, you will lie face down. We will then inject QWO into your buttocks in specific areas to dissolve the septae causing those dimples. Once the injections are complete, you will remain lying down for another five minutes or more. This allows QWO to take full effect in the targeted areas. QWO treatments take about fifteen minutes to complete.
QWO treatments are not for men or for treating other areas besides the buttocks. Women with moderate to severe cellulite are typically ideal candidates for QWO. Candidates should meet the following requirements:
After QWO treatments, your buttocks will be sore in the injection sites for a few days, which feels similar to the feeling you have after a heavy workout. There may be bruising, particularly after the first QWO treatment. There is no downtime, and you can get right back to your usual activities and routines right after your treatment.
The QWO process requires two more treatments over the next six weeks to achieve full results. You will see your final results 28 days after the third and last injection treatment–a significant decrease in cellulite in the buttocks. Your results last for a year or more.
