It’s Time to Get Cheeky About QWO

It’s time to consider QWO - the only FDA-approved injectable to treat cellulite in women’s buttocks. QWO or collagenase clostridium histolyticum-aaes enables Stark to smooth out your dimples on your buttocks with an injectable. There’s no need for cutting or liposuction required to get amazing results.

Bringing innovative and state-of-the-art treatments to Philadelphia is paramount to the dedication that Dr. Ran Stark delivers to his patients at StarkMD Plastic Surgery and Aesthetic Center. To determine if QWO is a good choice for you, schedule a consultation with Dr. Stark and his team to learn more about how smoother, tighter, fuller buttocks are in your future.

What is Cellulite?

Nine out of ten women will have cellulite in their lifetime. Cellulite is not a person’s fault. Cellulite is not fat. Cellulite is not caused by how much you eat or because you aren't exercising. Cellulite dimples are created by three things.

Thin skin
Fat cell enlarge and push against the skin
Fibrous Bands under the skin thicken and cause tension

All three things create cellulite dimpling on the buttock

What is QWO?

QWO is the first and only FDA-approved non-surgical cellulite injectable treatment. QWO is designed to treat moderate to severe cellulite in the buttocks of women by targeting the fibrous septae - the structural band that holds the cellulite in place. QWO is designed to perform as follows:

Redistribute your fat cells
Stimulate the growth of new collagen
Releases fibrous bands that hold the fat cells in place

While there is not one single treatment that will completely remove all cellulite; an exciting factor of QWO is that the injectable can be part of a personal treatment plan for you. During your consultation, Dr. Stark will create a procedure plan that will outline how many treatments it may take to achieve your ideal look.

How do I know if QWO is right for me?

When fat gets deposited between your skin and muscle, the bands of collagen (septae) that tether the skin to the muscle will tighten around the fat and make your skin look dimpling or have divots. Ninety percent of women will experience cellulite regardless of their weight.

And, while cellulite is not only a female issue, men will not experience cellulite as often because the septae beneath their skin form differently than how it forms in women.

QWO Procedure

Each QWO session takes about 10 minutes in duration. Dr. Stark may treat up to two treatment areas or 24 injections. The enzymes in QWO target the septae to release the dimple or divot and give the skin an overall smooth appearance. You will have a total of three QWO sessions, three weeks apart to reach the maximum effect.

Another great benefit of QWO is there is no downtime. You can walk into your QWO appointment, have your 10-minute treatment, and return to your daily activities.
