Cellulite - Health Tips

Thoughts on Cellulite by Dr. Alan Levy, MD
July 2021

Are you one of the many women who experience the threat of cellulite? You’re not alone! Approximately 9 out of 10 women will have some form of cellulite during their lifetime. But it’s not an issue that you can solve with lifestyle changes. 

Regardless of your workouts and diet, which can have a positive impact on your skin and radiance, when it comes to tackling the dreaded cellulite, it only has a limited impact. So what can you do? Let’s show you exactly how cellulite forms, and what you can do to combat it effectively.

What Causes Cellulite?

The common misconception is that cellulite is a buildup of fat, but in fact, it has almost nothing to do with fat. And it has nothing to do with your diet or health. It is something that happens to your skin naturally over time.

As we get older, our skin starts to thin. This, in combination with fat cells enlarging and pushing against the skin, causes the fibrous bands underneath the skin to thicken and create tension. 

This tension caused by the bands is what causes the dimpling around your problem areas, commonly known as cellulite.

How to Treat Cellulite Effectively 

As approximately 90% of women have problems with cellulite, there’s got to be a simple treatment for this issue. This is where the Qwo® cellulite treatment comes into play. 

Qwo® is a treatment for severe cellulite in adult women’s buttocks. Qwo® works by breaking up the fibrous bands that cause the dimpling in your buttocks. 

The injectable breaks up the pressure caused by the bands, resulting in an almost immediate improvement in the sight of dimpling, removing that stubborn cellulite.

Benefits of Qwo® Cellulite Treatments

Qwo® is a quick treatment. 

As it shows a dramatic improvement in cellulite appearance almost instantly, it is an amazing choice for people who are looking for treatment without anesthesia or cannot take a long time away from work. 

Qwo® is a thoroughly researched treatment. 

It is approved for use by the FDA, and in fact, has gone through the largest set of clinical trials for cellulite treatment in the United States.

Qwo® is effective on all skin tones and types. 

For people who need a one-size-fits-all treatment, Qwo® is an effective method for reducing cellulite, without worrying about any invasive procedure. 

Am I a Candidate for Qwo®?

Most people are suitable candidates for this treatment. If you are interested in the Qwo® cellulite treatment, the best candidates have moderate to severe cellulite dimpling on their buttocks. 

The treatment is not approved for use on any other part of the body, so if you need to treat other areas, there are other treatments available. If you have any allergic reactions to collagenase or any of the ingredients in Qwo® or have an active infection in the treatment area, it’s recommended that you contact your healthcare provider for more advice. 

If you take any medicines that prevent blood clotting, or any prescription or over-the-counter medicines, you should tell your healthcare provider. You should contact your healthcare provider for medical advice about specific side effects.
