Are you ready ladies for a new cellulite treatment that actually works?
Let me inform you about “QWO”. QWO was FDA approved in July 2020 for the treatment of moderate to severe cellulite in the buttocks of adult women. It will be available for clinical use on April 5, 2021 in the US and I was fortunate enough to have been selected as one of only 10 practices in Palm Beach County to offer this treatment!
How does it work? In order to understand how it works we must first understand what cellulite is. Cellulite is not a matter of being overweight. It is a misconception that fat reduction technologies or weight loss are effective for the treatment of cellulite. Cellulite is a multifactorial condition that occurs when “fibrous bands” made up of collagen pull back the skin allowing fat cells to push against the skin and thereby create “dimples”. In order to combat cellulite, we need to be able to somehow break up the fibrous bands creating the dimples on the surface of the skin. Until QWO there was no treatment or substance available to affectively accomplish this. QWO is a ‘collagenase’ or enzyme that dissolves collagen fibers that cause the unsightly appearance of cellulite. The treatment entails injecting this enzyme into the dimples, and usually three treatments are required 21 days apart. Injections take about 10 minutes each time and side effects consist of bruising, possible tenderness at the injection site, temporary redness, hardness and itchiness. Results are evaluated 4 weeks after the last treatment.
This is truly an exciting advancement in the treatment of this difficult condition. It is the first and only FDA approved cellulite treatment that actually works and can be done on your lunch hour without any downtime.
Please book your appointment for a consultation to see if you are a candidate for this revolutionary treatment.
