Do you have stubborn cellulite you can’t get to go away no matter what you try? Cellulite happens to be one of the biggest cosmetic concerns. Anyone can suffer from cellulite, and while it’s perfectly natural and nothing to be ashamed of, but it’s understandable why you may wish to get rid of it.
At Manhattan Aesthetics, we offer a revolutionary new treatment that can help you get rid of cellulite without needing any cosmetic surgery. It’s called QWO®, and many of our patients have already experienced stunning results through using it.
What is Cellulite?
Cellulite is characterized as a bumpy or quilted area of your skin, typically occurring around your buttocks and thighs. It occurs because the fibrous bands of collagen (septae) that run vertically between the skin’s surface and the tissues of the fascia aren’t long enough. As a result, the skin itself gets pulled down, which pushes fat cells up towards the surface, creating the bumpy dimpled effect.
QWO® for Cellulite
The biggest misconception with cellulite is that you can get rid of it by losing weight. Often, this doesn’t work as the fat in cellulite is not dietary fat, so it can’t be burned by the body as energy, meaning exercising won’t really help the situation. This is why a treatment like QWO® is extremely helpful, tackling the problem head-on.
QWO® is the world’s first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment for cellulite. It injects your body with something called collagenase, which is an enzyme that specifically targets types 1 and 3 collagen fibers. These fibers make up the septae that we spoke about earlier, and the enzyme works to dissolve them. In doing so, it releases the skin that’s been pulled too tight, effectively causing cellulite. Thus, your skin starts to smooth out, and the cellulite is gone.
Benefits of QWO® Treatments
QWO® is an innovative and revolutionary treatment as it can help you tackle cellulite without going under the knife. Previously, procedures like butt lifts were usually seen as the only way to deal with this issue. Now, you can see impressive results after a few treatments with QWO®. It’s non-surgical and is completely safe for you to try.
The collagenase enzyme is designed to work naturally in your body as you carry on with your daily routine. As a result, you can literally get the injection and be out and about in around 30 minutes. It’s the perfect procedure to try on your lunch break or if you have a spare half-hour in your daily routine.
Plus, studies have shown that QWO® significantly reduces the appearance of cellulite – even in the most severe cases. Not only that, but the results last for years!
Am I a Candidate for QWO®?
You’ll be pleased to know that QWO® has been approved for women of all ages, skin colors, body types, and ethnicities. The lack of side effects or downtime makes this a wonderful treatment option for all sorts of women. In essence, if you suffer from cellulite and want to get rid of it, you will be a good candidate for this injectable treatment.
How ThermiSmooth® Works
ThermiSmooth® Body treatments use radiofrequency heat in two ways, at the surface to reduce that “orange peel” look that can dimple your skin, and deeper, to address the underlying issues causing cellulite. RF heat focuses on realigning and boosting collagen in your skin. The aging process breaks down the connective tissues that provide the skin with support, making it sag and melt, and creating cellulite bumps. By rearranging existing collagen and promoting new collagen growth, Manhattan Aesthetics uses ThermiSmooth® to smooth and tighten your skin and its underlying tissues, increase blood circulation, and facilitate fat cell death by compromising the structure of unwanted fat cells. These cells are then filtered out of the body naturally in the lymphatic system, leaving your skin firmer and sleeker than ever.
How Long Do ThermiSmooth® Treatments Last?
ThermiSmooth® procedures typically take anywhere from 15-45 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. Many patients report feeling no pain, and in fact, liken the procedure to a warm massage. Most appointments last around an hour, and patients typically undergo 3-4 treatments over a period of 6-8 weeks for optimal cellulite reduction outcomes.
Am I a Good Candidate for ThermiSmooth®?
ThermiSmooth® is not considered an effective solution for weight loss, so patients experiencing cellulite troubles should have realistic expectations of the outcome. Thermi radiofrequency devices should not be used for patients who are pregnant, have a fever, or exhibit signs of skin infection in the application area.
Results and Downtime of ThermiSmooth®
Because it takes the body time to eliminate fat cells that are affected by the ThermiSmooth® treatments, results may not be immediately visible. The treatment is designed to produce long-term collagen stimulation, so the most dramatic results are seen around the 3-month mark. Studies of results show the effects of skin tightening and cellulite reduction with ThermiSmooth® can and often do last up to 1 year or longer.
There is no downtime associated with ThermiSmooth® treatments, and your regularly scheduled activities may be resumed directly after your procedure. Any aftercare instructions will be provided to you before your procedure takes place, and we don’t move forward until all your questions are answered.
