Smoother curves ahead

Cellulite can detract from your feminine curves and make it hard for you to see your booty’s beauty. Fortunately, we offer breakthrough treatment QWO for cellulite. Rockford QWO provider Pryor Health is dedicated to providing patients with the most advanced treatments available.

What is QWO cellulite treatment?

An estimated 90% of women will develop cellulite somewhere in their bodies at some point. Contrary to popular belief, cellulite is not a result of poor diet and exercise. Instead, the areas in which cellulite will appear, and to what degree, is determined mainly by genetics.

QWO is the first-ever injectable treatment for cellulite. This advanced treatment contains a naturally occurring enzyme called Collagenases Clostridium Histolyticum (CCH), which frees the skin of tension caused by fibrous bands that connect the skin to the underlying muscle. As aging causes these bands to stiffen and surrounding fat cells expand, these bands' tension creates cellulite’s characteristic dimpling.

The FDA approved QWO as an injectable medication for cellulite. In comparison to the FDA’s standards for devices, medications are subject to more stringent criteria. QWO is the only injectable treatment that is proven to reduce the appearance of cellulite. While QWO is FDA-approved to treat cellulite in the buttocks, it can also be used “off-label” to treat cellulite in other areas, such as the thighs.

Your QWO procedure

QWO cellulite treatment takes only a few minutes to perform and does not require the application of any numbing cream or anesthesia. Many patients say that QWO treatment is more tolerable than Botox.

One QWO cellulite treatment usually involves 12 injections directly into dimpling with an ultra-fine needle. Most patients undergo three treatments spaced three weeks apart to achieve the best results. One treatment takes about ten minutes to perform, making QWO cellulite treatment significantly more convenient than comparable procedures.

QWO cellulite treatment benefits

QWO effectively treats cellulite with short, minimally invasive treatments with no downtime or restrictions. You can even schedule your treatment during your lunch break! The effects of QWO cellulite treatment are substantial and long-lasting.

Am I a candidate?

QWO is an excellent treatment option for generally adult women with moderate to severe cellulite on their buttocks and who are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or allergic to collagenase or any other ingredients.

Your recovery

There is no downtime following QWO cellulite treatment, so you can return to your regular activities immediately. However, we recommend that you hold off on strenuous activities until the day after your treatment.

Your results

You will notice the gradual improvement of cellulite dimpling in your buttocks as tension in the fibrous bands (or septae) diminishes. You will realize your full results about four weeks after your third treatment. You can expect your results to last two to three years—an incredible payoff for only 30 minutes of combined treatment!

QWO FAQs

What are the risks?

Risks and side effects associated with QWO cellulite treatment are minimal and comparable to those of other injectable procedures. This treatment's potential side effects include minor pain, bruising, swelling, itching, tissue hardening where injected, and allergic reaction.

You can minimize your risks by choosing an established provider. The highly skilled and experienced team of medical and cosmetic professionals at Rockford QWO provider Pryor Health ensures that you receive the highest level of care before, during, and after your treatment.

Is this treatment painful?

As with any injection, there is some discomfort. However, most patients describe their discomfort during treatment as minimal and comparable to a snap from a rubber band. Fast treatment and the use of an ultra-fine needle help make QWO easily tolerable.

Does QWO help with weight loss?

No, QWO cellulite treatment does not cause weight loss. Because cellulite is due to the stiffening of fibrous bands and not fat, this treatment focuses on reducing the tension of these bands and does not affect body fat or weight.

Does insurance cover it?

Because cellulite is a cosmetic concern and poses no risk to your health, insurance does not cover this treatment. However, Pryor Health offers financing options to help you achieve your ideal look.
