A CELLULITE BUSTER
Qwo Atlanta, GA
If you are an adult Atlanta woman with moderate to severe cellulite in the buttocks, then Qwo might be for you. Qwo is a non-surgical treatment the first and only injectable approved by the FDA to treat moderate to severe cellulite in the buttocks. Injections take as little as 10 minutes, with visible results achieved as soon as 10 weeks. The typical treatment is three Qwo injections spaced 21 says apart.
Under the surface of the skin is a pattern of fibrous bands that connect the skin to the muscle. Over time, some of these fibrous bands thicken, creating tension that pushes fat up. This causes the surface dimples commonly referred to as cellulite.
Collagenase clostridium histolyticum-aaes, or Qwo, is a mixture of two naturally occurring collagenase enzymes, AUX-I and AUX-II, that is injected into the skin under the dimple.
These enzymes target Type 1 and Type 3 collagen found in fibrous bands and work together to break down the buildup of collagen that causes cellulite.
When Qwo is injected, the fibrous bands are broken. It is thought this may release the dimple and smooth the surface of the skin.
Visible results may be achieved in 10 weeks. In clinical studies, women received three treatments of Qwo, 21 days apart. Results may be permanent, but you should expect your Qwo results to last at least one year, but most likely much longer. This new cosmetic injection will truly revolutionize cellulite treatment, as there are currently no other non-surgical options as effective.
QWO has been studied in more patients than any other FDA-approved cellulite treatment, with more than 1,800 women participating. In two pivotal Phase 3 clinical studies of adult women with moderate to severe cellulite, 424 women were treated with QWO and 419 received placebo. Each woman received three treatments given 21 days apart.
Qwo is injected by your Center for Plastic Surgery of Atlanta aesthetic specialist directly into targeted dimples in the buttocks using a small needle. You should not receive Qwo if you are allergic to any collagenase or the ingredients in Qwo, or have an active infection in the treatment area.
If your Center for Plastic Surgery of Atlanta aesthetic specialist determines that Qwo is right for you, she or he will decide on a treatment plan, including the total number of treatments. Each treatment visit may include up to two treatment areas. Qwo injections will be given 21 days apart for three treatment visits.
At each office visit, injections take as little as 10 minutes.
The most common side effects of Qwo include injection site bruising, pain, areas of hardness, itching, redness, discoloration, swelling, and warmth in the treatment area. These are not all the possible side effects of Qwo, and we will be happy to discuss your concerns during your consultation at our Atlanta office.
In clinical trials, women required no post-treatment downtime. Most bruising lessened after each treatment and resolved in less than 21 days.
At our Atlanta office, the cost for Qwo is dependent on the number of dimples being treated, but typically ranges from $2,800 to $3,500, which includes three treatments spaced 21 days apart.
