What Are the Benefits of Qwo®?

Looking for a cellulite treatment that actually works? Patients often wonder whether it’s even possible to reduce cellulite: that frustrating, cottage cheese-like skin that mostly occurs on areas such as the thighs and butt. It’s one of those things that many of us are terrified of, but we can’t do much about it since it’s linked to hormones, genetics, and aging—which are factors that we have no control over. Many topical products and treatments claim to address stubborn cellulite dimples, but as most people know, these usually aren’t actually very effective. Losing weight may make cellulite look less prominent, but even this strategy ultimately won’t even out the uneven texture on the skin that you’re self-conscious about. How do we know? The Pierre Skin Care Institute team specializes in medical and cosmetic dermatology. Westlake Village patients can benefit from the latest, innovative treatments for a range of conditions, including cellulite. A new option, Qwo^®, is much more effective than previous treatments. Here are some reasons to consider trying this injectable dimple-fighter:

It Actually Gets Rid of Dimples

Since cellulite is associated with the rigid bands of connective tissue beneath the skin that are tethered to the surface and cause tension, Qwo^® injections are effective because they break down the accumulations of collagen that make up these tight, fibrous cords—while also promoting the regeneration of new collagen that thickens the skin and makes it appear smoother.

Recovery is Easier

There are other laser-based and subcision techniques for treating cellulite, but these are more invasive, require a longer recovery after, can cause more significant side effects, and may result in scars. Recovery from Qwo^® is simple in comparison, and the injectable should not cause lasting marks. There’s no need for anesthesia or downtime if you’re having this injectable cellulite treatment, and there is less trauma to the surrounding tissues.

Results Are Lasting

Qwo^® can treat cellulite dimples for good. Provided that you maintain a healthy lifestyle that includes a balanced diet, avoiding skin damage, and regular exercise, cellulite is unlikely to come back in the treated areas after a series of Qwo® sessions.
