What Causes Cellulite?

Little is known about what causes cellulite. It is known that it is composed of fibrous cords that connect the skin to the underlying muscle. When fat cells accumulate and push against the skin, the fibrous cords tug them in the opposite direction, causing cellulite’s characteristic dimpling. Additionally, genetic factors play a role in the development of cellulite because they determine the structure and texture of the skin and body type. 

Other contributing factors include hormonal activity, muscle tone, and weight. However, cellulite is not painful and usually does not cause any issues other than a cosmetic concern.

How Does Qwo® Cellulite Treatment Work?

Qwo® is a unique solution for cellulite reduction on the buttocks and thighs. It contains active enzymes known as collagenases derived from the bacteria Clostridium. The enzymes target the structural cause of cellulite beneath the skin’s surface, breaking down its fibrous bands. Our experienced clinicians at Physician Skin Solutions know how to precisely place the injections for optimal results. No invasive surgery is needed.

This form of cellulite reduction treatment causes fat to break down and collagen to tighten. It is not only a safe way of removing cellulite and tightening the skin but also helps improve blood circulation, thus making it easier for nutrients to reach the cells.

Am I a Good Candidate for Qwo® Cellulite Reduction?

You’re a good candidate for Qwo® cellulite treatment if you are looking for a non-invasive procedure to eliminate cellulite dimpling on your buttocks and thighs. 

Qwo® is suitable for adults of all ages, skin tones, and body types who are in good overall health and are struggling with cellulite in the thighs and buttocks. You may not be an ideal candidate for this type of cellulite treatment if you are allergic to collagenase or have an infection in your thighs or buttocks.
