QWO Injectable Treatments for Cellulite Reduction

Cellulite

At some point or another, you may experience cellulite formation in certain areas of your body. While this condition can make you feel less confident, there is an effective treatment to help reduce the appearance of uneven, dimpled skin.

While some have heard of cellulite treatments, many wonder, “what is QWO?” Continue reading for more information on this impressive treatment. When you’re ready to give yourself the gift of smoother skin, contact Aurae MD in La Jolla, CA. 

What Is Cellulite?

Cellulite is a natural skin condition that causes ripples in the skin. Both men and women can have cellulite, but it is most prevalent in women. While the condition is harmless, it often affects self-esteem and self-confidence.

This skin condition causes fat to push up against connective tissue beneath the skin’s surface, resulting in the appearance of lumps or dimples. It can affect various areas of the body, most commonly including:

  • Thighs
  • Hips
  • Buttocks
  • Abdomen

Little is known regarding the cause of cellulite. However, it is a common condition most women will deal with at some point in their lives. Cellulite typically occurs for factors outside one’s control, like genetics, aging, and skin changes. While weight changes can affect cellulite, even the fittest individuals can still have cellulite.

Many treatments have come out throughout the years with little to no success in reducing or eliminating cellulite. Fortunately, QWO has shown great promise. 

What Is QWO?

QWO is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment for moderate to severe cellulite in the buttocks. The QWO injection works to restructure the connective tissues that cause the rippled appearance. 

This treatment is quick and minimally invasive. It can significantly help with cellulite reduction without surgery. 

QWO can promote the appearance of smoother, more youthful-looking skin around the buttocks. Countless patients are ecstatic with the results of their QWO cellulite reduction treatment. 

How Does QWO Cellulite Treatment Work?

The primary cause of the uneven appearance of the skin is the fibrous bands, called the fibrous septae. As fat cells expand, these fibrous bands thicken and push the skin to create the appearance of cellulite. 

QWO is an injectable treatment. When injected, the product, which contains enzymes called “collagenases,” targets the cause of the cellulite and releases the fibrous bands under the skin to reduce the appearance of dimpled skin. Additionally, the product redistributes the fat cells in the area and encourages collagen production. 

Collagen is a protein the body naturally produces. Among its many functions, it provides structural support to the skin, keeping it strong and smooth. With age, collagen production slows, causing noticeable changes in the skin around the body. 

The combination of releasing the fibrous septae, redistributing fat cells, and producing more collagen works together to substantially reduce the appearance of cellulite. 

Benefits of QWO for Cellulite

QWO cellulite treatments provide patients with several advantages, but most importantly is a noticeable reduction in cellulite. Some of the other notable benefits of these treatments include:

  • Smoother skin around the buttocks
  • Fast, non-invasive procedure
  • Little to no downtime
  • Scientifically proven for cellulite removal
  • Lasting results

When you’re interested in discovering how QWO can work for you, schedule a consultation. 

What to Expect During a QWO Injection Treatment

Before your treatment, we’ll have you stand in a way that best shows your cellulite. This gives us a good indication of what areas would benefit most from treatment and allows us to mark them. 

After we mark and cleanse the area, you’ll relax while lying on your stomach in preparation for your treatment, as your buttocks muscles should not be engaged during the administration of QWO injections.

We’ll carefully inject the product in the areas previously marked. Typically, each buttock receives 6 to 12 injections, which equals 12 to 24 for the entire area. 

After the treatment is complete, you’ll remain lying down for a few minutes. Once you’re ready to go, you’re free to return to your daily activities. 

QWO Cellulite Treatment — Frequently Asked Questions

If you’re interested in QWO treatments for cellulite removal, you likely have several questions. Below, we’ve answered some of the questions our patients most commonly ask. Should you have additional questions or concerns, we can address them during your consultation. We’re also happy to share QWO cellulite before and after photos. 

What Kind of Recovery Can I Expect After QWO for Cellulite?

QWO treatments require little to no downtime. The area will likely be tender to the touch, which will improve in the days following your appointment. We recommend light activity and no exercise for 24-48 hours after treatment. 

How Many QWO Treatments Do I Need?

Usually, we recommend three separate injection treatments. We schedule the session about three weeks apart to give the QWO product enough time to begin working. 

How Long Will It Take to See the Result of My QWO Treatment?

Because of the way the product eliminates cellulite, you’re unlikely to see immediate results after your treatment. Results are usually seen about three weeks after your injections, giving the product enough time to work.

How Long Do Results After QWO Last?

The results after completing QWO treatments are long-lasting. Patients are usually able to experience smoother skin for at least one year and often even longer. 

How Do I Know Whether QWO Can Effectively Treat My Cellulite?

We encourage our patients to schedule a consultation. When you come in for your initial appointment, we’ll ask questions, examine the area, and discuss your goals. Based on these details, we can determine whether QWO is right for you and show you QWO cellulite before and after photos to give you an idea of what you could expect.
