Ready to Get Rid of Unwanted Cellulite?

Cellulite affects nine out of 10 women at some point in their lives, which means those strenuous workouts and healthy eating habits are great for fitness and overall wellness but will not help reduce cellulite. Dr. Taylor now offers QWO^®, the first and only FDA-approved injectable to treat moderate to severe cellulite in adult women’s buttocks. This non-surgical cellulite treatment option can reduce buttock dimpling in adult women.

What is QWO and How Does it Work?

QWO is Collagenase Clostridium histolyticum. QWO works to prevent typical cellulite damage, such as loose skin. The injectable acts as an agent that degrades collagen molecules in the skin of the buttocks.

OFFICE DIRECTIONS

Take your first step to becoming a happier, more youthful you!

The QWO treatment works in three ways:

• Breaks down collagen in fibrous bands, causing them to release their hold on the skin.
• Fat cells are redistributed to a new area.
• Stimulates production of new collagen, which further improves the appearance of skin.

The QWO Treatment

QWO is injected directly into dimples in the buttocks by Dr. Taylor, a board-certified physician, using a tiny needle. Injections can take as little as 10 minutes.

How Long Does it Take to See Cellulite Diminish?

Patients have seen visible improvements in as little as ten weeks (individual results vary).

What is Cellulite?

Cellulite refers to the collection of fat under the skin that pushes against connective tissue. The areas of the body most affected by cellulite include the buttocks, calves, and thighs. It results in bumpy and dimpled skin that can often look unpleasant to the patient.

Both men and women can get cellulite, though it is more common in adult women. Cellulite forms when fibrous bands tighten irregularly; this creates the “bumpy” skin texture most patients experience. Treatments often vary, depending on the needs and wants of the patient/doctor.

Important Safety Information

Do not receive QWO if you are allergic to collagenase or any of the ingredients in QWO or have an active infection at the treatment area.

QWO may cause serious side effects, including:

• Allergic (hypersensitivity) reactions, including anaphylaxis. Call Dr. Taylor right away if you have hives, trouble breathing, low blood pressure, swollen face, chest pain, dizziness, or fainting after receiving QWO.
• Injection site bruising (redness, discoloration).

Before receiving QWO, tell Dr. Taylor if you:

• Have a bleeding problem.
• Are pregnant or may become pregnant, nursing, or plan to nurse.

Tell Dr. Taylor about all your medicines, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Especially tell Dr. Taylor if you take a medicine that prevents blood clotting (antiplatelet or anticoagulant).

The most common side effects of QWO include injection site bruising, pain, areas of hardness, itching, redness, discoloration, swelling, and warmth in the treatment area.
