Last month we introduced you to QWO (pronounced like “whoa”), the first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment for cellulite in women. And now we are excited to begin treating patients with this breakthrough technology!

Many people think that cellulite is caused from excess fat, a poor diet or lack of exercise. When really it’s none of the above. It’s the genetic makeup of the fibrous bands under the skin, and when these bands have a strong pull on the skin it causes the dimpling appearance that we call cellulite. It is very common, in fact, 9 out of 10 women will have cellulite.

During the treatment, Dr. Lupo injects the product directly into the cellulite dimple with a very tiny needle. The product destroys the bad fibrous bands, and the fat is remodeled under the skin for a smoother appearance. QWO ​​​​​​​is a quick procedure (as little as 10 minutes) and very tolerable. A full treatment is 3 sessions spaced 21 days apart.

While this is the first treatment of its kind, QWO has been studied in more than 1,800 women. Dr. Lupo was a principal investigator in the FDA clinical trial a few years ago, so she is excited to finally offer this product to her patients!
