QWO Treatment in Houston, TX

QWO is FDA approved for use in the buttocks. In some cases, it may be used to treat cellulite in areas such as the thighs as well. This use would be considered off-label; therefore, you will have to speak to your treating physician to determine treatment’s safety in that area.

Results from QWO injections are expected to be permanent. Over time, it is important to maintain a stable and healthy weight after your QWO injections. This will allow you to enjoy your results long-term. Your provider may recommend additional injections or other treatments as needed.

QWO is a new treatment option, so it is not yet known whether results are permanent. While studies are ongoing, results are long-lasting. As long as you maintain your weight and have a healthy lifestyle, your results should stay the same.

QWO results will gradually emerge through the course of the treatment as the product enzymatically breaks down collagen septae. Patients typically undergo three rounds of QWO injections, which are spaced several weeks apart. Final results are typically visible about three weeks after your final injections.

QWO has several benefits. The first and most obvious is the reduction of cellulite. The treatment is also non-surgical and requires little to no downtime. Patients also benefit from experiencing only minimal side effects, such as bruising or slight soreness. Finally, QWO results are long-lasting and may even be permanent.

While no downtime is required after QWO injections, patients are typically advised to avoid heavy exercise or other strenuous activity for 7 days after their treatment. Reducing your physical activity or pressure on the buttocks will help minimize side effects after receiving your injections. Your provider will give you detailed aftercare instructions during your QWO appointment.

QWO is FDA-approved. This makes it the first FDA-approved injectable treatment for cellulite.

In most cases, patients are advised to avoid showering for 24 hours after QWO injections. Keeping the area dry helps to prevent complications such as infection and minimizes side effects such as bruising. Your injector will provide full aftercare instructions during your appointment.

The most common and noticeable side effect of QWO is bruising. This occurs as the fibrous septae break down as a result of the injections. Patients also commonly experience soreness or discomfort, itching, redness, swelling, or warmth at the injection site, which will subside in a few days.
