It's QWo® time
Do you have cellulite?
WHAT IS QWO® & HOW DOES IT TREAT CELLULITE?
QWO® is the very first prescription, FDA-approved injectable specifically designed to treat cellulite. Many other treatments try to improve the appearance of skin, but QWO® targets the source that causes cellulite.
It’s injected via a small needle into strategic dimples across the buttocks region. Once it’s administered, QWO® uses unique enzymes called collagenases that break down the structures that form cellulite beneath the skin’s surface.
You may be wondering, what is cellulite? That’s next.
WHY DO I HAVE CELLULITE, WHAT IS THIS STUFF?
We all know what cellulite looks like, but what is this cottage-cheese looking stuff under our skin!? Believe it or not, cellulite is NOT fat. It's also not caused by your diet or exercise regime. Cellulite is a structure that our body forms.
It happens when our fibrous connective cords tether the skin to the underlying muscle, leaving a layer of fat lying between. If (or when) fat cells accumulate, they push up against the skin but those tough, fibrous cords pull it down creating that dimpling effect.
As we age, our skin gets thinner and our fat cells enlarge... so that just makes things worse. No amount of spin classes or Weight Watchers will truly help reduce cellulite. It needs to be treated on a deeper level, but now thanks to QWO®, we can.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM A QWO® TREATMENT
The results are amazing. The average patient can see noticable, visible results within 10 weeks, although some patients notice them much earlier.
Depending on how much cellulite you have and how large of an area you’d like to cover, treatment plans can vary. The average patient profits best from 3 treatments, spaced 21 days apart. Thankfully, appointments are as quick as 10 minutes, non-invasive and don’t require any recovery time. Just prepare for a bit of bruising!
