QWO is the first FDA-Approved Injectable Cellulite Treatment that releases deep dimples through dissolving the fibrous bands that cause them, with a simple injection of a safe drug that’s been used for years in other medical applications.

This treatment is FDA-Approved for the buttocks, but we have used this product for the back of the thighs that has worked well but is considered “off-label.” For best results, three treatments spaced 21 days apart is recommended for patients. However, some of our patients have reported satisfaction after one or two treatments.

What is Cellulite?

Cellulite is a complex multi-factorial condition hallmarked by fat trapped in the dermal layer of your skin leading to dimpling, waviness, “cottage cheese” appearing skin texture and/or overall less smooth contour irregularity. The dimpling is often caused by “fibrous septae.”

How Does Qwo Work?

QWO injected by our providers and works by enzymatically disrupting the fibrous septae responsible for creating cellulite resulting in a smoother appearance of the treated skin.

Where Can I Have Qwo Injected?

QWO injections with our providers at JMISKO surgical design | md have been FDA-approved to treat dimples aka cellulite on the buttocks.  However, we routinely have patients voicing concerns of contour irregularity and cellulite on the back of their thighs. Although this is considered “off-label” we’ve treated many patients for back of their thighs.

Is Qwo Safe?

QWO has been studied in several hundred patients who have undergone a cumulative of over a thousand treatments. The treatment seems to be very safe with adverse events like other cosmetic injectable treatments, such as bruising.

How is Qwo Administered?

QWO is a clear, odorless water-like mixture that is injected through tiny needles into the dimples responsible for creating the appearance of cellulite.

How Long Does Qwo Last?

To-date, we have data to support longevity for a few years and will continue to monitor how many years patients can expect to see the substantial improvement.

Qwo Downtime/Recovery?

No downtime is required after QWO injections. Patients typically have bruising that can last one to two weeks after the first treatment. Patients report mild to moderate soreness alleviated with Tylenol or ibuprofen. There is mild to moderate swelling for the first few days, as well. It’s provider discretion whether the provider permits their patients to go to the gym and lead an active lifestyle the day after being treated with QWO at JMISKO.

 When Can I See Results?

Patients may see an improvement as early as three weeks after their injections. However, the improvement continues, and most patients require more than one treatment cycle of QWO. Up to a maximum of three treatments are needed spaced 3 weeks (21 days) apart.
