Is Qwo the best treatment for cellulite?

Question

I read that this is the first injectable treatment for cellulite, and I've tried a few solutions over the years with mixed results. Is Qwo the best option now?

Laurie A. Casas, MD, FACS · Answer

QWO is a prescription medication that is used for mild to moderate cellulite in the buttocks and thigh. It is the very first FDA approved injectable for cellulite reduction. The enzyme breaks down the collagen that is creating the dimple. It is always best to schedule an in person consultation to determine if you are a candidate.

no injectable is effective for celluite. this is minimally effective for very specific types. cellfina, sculptra/fillers, RF treatments and morpheus help. but there is no cure.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Qwo is FDA-approved for the treatment of moderate to severe cellulite in the buttocks of adult women. Patients are treated 21 days apart for 3 total treatments. Qwo is believed to target the fibrous bands that lead to cellulite. Not all cellulite is created equal and I would encourage you to speak with a plastic surgeon to determine if you are a candidate.

You will see final results 28 days after your last treatment.  Patients report little to no pain with no downtime.  See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

Qwo is the first FDA-approved injectable for the treatment of cellulite. It is approved for the buttocks of adult women. Qwo works by dissolving the bands of collagen that create the dimpling seen in cellulite. It also reforms collagen in the dermis (second layer of skin) to improve the overall skin quality. It does not treat skin laxity, but this can be addressed with other procedures.
