The Qwo cellulite treatment is considered by many scientists and researchers in aesthetic medicine to be somewhat of a breakthrough, as it utilizes a fairly complicated and highly involved mechanism of action, and high-level reactions taking place on the skin – all in a simply injectable treatment! Qwo has been proven to effectively treat patients with moderate to severe cellulite issues. Qwo uses a specialized enzyme, known as collagenases, which is known to target the structural makeup of fibrous bands of connective tissue and fatty cells, beneath the skin’s surface. This enzyme works using a three-step mechanism of action,
It starts by releasing fibrous bands that make up the tissue.
Then it works to redistribute fatty tissue and cells in the area.
And finally, it helps by stimulating the growth of new collagen cells. This is important, as collagen is commonly lost as we age, causing the breakdown of our skin’s shape, volume, and overall elasticity.

Once injected into the treatment area, where the cellulite buildup is present, Qwo causes a specialized enzymatic reaction that takes place beneath the skin, to break down the fatty tissue cells causing them to be destructured and no longer stable. Once they are broken down, the cellulite tissue is then redistributed and removed from the area. This leaves somewhat of a void where those former cells were living. By stimulating the production of fresh collagen in the area, the Qwo treatment will help to build up new connective tissue, and fibrous bands. Essentially this is because collagen is such a vital skincare protein, that is the building block for new connective tissue and skin cells – it slowly will build back the area, with fresh, new, cellulite-free tissue. It’s important to understand that this process does take time, and won’t happen immediately after treatment. In addition, it will likely take a few different sessions to get the level of cellulite reduction you desire. But this is all dependent on the patient, as well as their doctor.
