What is QWO®?

Are you bothered by stubborn cellulite on your buttocks that just won’t budge? Cellulite is a very common condition that results in dimpled skin. In fact, up to 75% of women are affected by cellulite, which can lead to self-consciousness and frustration. Unfortunately, in some cases, it cannot be treated through weight loss and exercise. Thankfully, cellulite can now be improved with a groundbreaking injectable treatment called QWO®.

QWO® is the first and only FDA-approved injectable for moderate to severe cellulite in the buttocks of adult women. This treatment consists of injecting an enzyme called collagenase. QWO works by breaking down the fibrous bands, redistributing fat cells, and triggering the growth of new collagen. Plus, there is little to no downtime required, making it a great option for those with busy schedules.

This procedure is ideal for adult women aged 18 and older who would like to smooth out stubborn cellulite. However, you should not undergo this treatment if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, are allergic to any collagenase, or have an active infection in the treatment area.

Dr. Jennifer is the best! There are lots of options in this area when it comes to Botox and fillers and some people are better than others at projecting the outcome. She is very straight forward, tells you exactly how much she will be doing, what the results will be and at what cost. I have referred her to many of my friends all to their delight. - Anonymous

The Procedure

QWO® is an injectable treatment that targets the dimples in the buttocks using a fine needle. To begin your treatment, your provider will cleanse the skin and skillfully inject the QWO®. Each treatment session may include up to 24 injected dimples. At each treatment session, the areas of dimpling will be marked and treated, there will be more injections depending on the severity of your cellulite. The overall process is quick, with injections taking as little as 10-15 minutes to complete.

Recovery & Results

After your QWO® treatment, you may experience injection site redness, bruising, tenderness, itching, hardness, bumpiness, or warmth. In studies, these effects are generally resolved within three weeks. While there is little to no downtime required following this treatment, we do advise that you refrain from strenuous activity and exercise for 1-2 days for the best outcomes and wear a mild to moderate compression garment for 3-5 days afterward, this can be a simple as a pair of Spanx or snug leggings.

Three treatments are performed at 3-4 week intervals and full results can be seen about a month after completion of the three sessions.
