How Does QWO Work?
Cellulite occurs over time by the skin in affected areas thinning. In these areas, fat cells enlarge and push against the skin. The fibrous bands under the skin thicken and cause tension, creating the appearance of dimples. To achieve desired results, QWO works in three ways:
- Releases fibrous bands
- Redistributes fat cells
- Stimulates the growth of new collagen
What to Expect with a QWO Cellulite Treatment
QWO treatments take place over three appointments. Typically, we recommend these injection appointments to take place every three weeks. QWO injections generally take less than an hour to complete.
While the pain is minimal, a common side effect is bruising. Studies have found that normally the bruising is significant after the first injection session, with diminished bruising after each subsequent injection session.
Ask your provider for ways to mitigate the bruising you may experience after injection.
