What is cellulite?

Cellulite is a localized alteration in the contour of the skin that has been reported in approximately 90% of adult women.

What causes cellulite?

Fat cells get larger, skin gets thinner and a little looser and the fibrous bands under the skin’s surface get thicker, leading to a dimpled appearance.

Can weight loss help get rid of cellulite?

Weight loss might reduce the appearance of cellulite but won’t get rid of fibrous bands under the skin’s surface. Weight loss can actually make cellulite look worse because of resulting skin laxity.

Treatment options?

QWO is the first and only FDA-approved injectable for moderate to severe cellulite in the buttocks of adult women is now available. Women received 3 treatments 21 days apart. The injections target and release the fibrous bands under the skin which cause dimpling.
