Qwo For Cellulite Reduction

Qwo is the first and only FDA-approved injectable for the treatment of moderate to severe cellulite in the buttocks of adult women. Qwo is an injectable treatment option that is thought to target a primary structural cause of cellulite – the fibrous septae. The procedure consists of three treatments three weeks apart. Results are seen within three months.
