QWO to Get Rid of Cellulite

QWO is effective in treating stubborn cellulite in the buttock region. It’s the first and only FDA approved injectable treatment for this purpose. It doesn’t involve any scars, incisions, anesthesia, or cuts. You can receive QWO injections comfortably as an in-office procedure.

The procedure can usually be completed in less than 20 minutes by an experienced plastic surgeon. After the procedure, you can resume your daily routine or go back to work. No post-treatment downtime or advanced preparation is required. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards provides QWO cellulite treatment to patients in Las Vegas, NV, and surrounding locations.

Are You a Suitable Candidate for QWO?

You are not alone if you are struggling with severe or moderate cellulite appearance in your hip region. QWO is a clinically proven, noninvasive treatment for eliminating cellulite. The treatment is perfect for you if want to restore youthful looking and smooth buttock appearance without surgery in a sustainable manner.

Lifelong Results After 15 Minutes

QWO doesn’t take more than 15 to 20 minutes. A small injection will be used by the aesthetic specialist for injecting QWO medication in the targeted area at precise tissue depths. There are three treatment sessions in an optimal treatment plan. Each session is spaced 21 days apart and can address two treatment areas. You should expect to achieve visible results in just 10 weeks.

QWO Cellulite Reduction Function

There are two enzymes in the QWO injectable formulation – collagenases (AUX I and II). This will target the structural formations under your skin that cause cellulite. The collagen rich structures are known as fibrous septae and are responsible for causing dimpling in the rear end skin.

Degradation of fibrous septae is triggered as QWO medication is injected at a precise depth in the sub-dermal dimple. Cellulite issue will begin resolving as collagen build-up breaks down in the fibrous septae.

QWO works in three ways in the affected areas:

  • Removes dimpling by releasing fibrous bands
  • Redistributes fatty cells for an even look
  • Promotes new collagen growth for volumized and firm buttocks

QWO is Clinically Proven

Safety and efficacy of QWO cellulite removal injectable was evaluated by researchers in extensive clinical studies that involved more than 1,800 women. Three treatments of QWO were given to these adult women at an interval of 21 days.

After four weeks of the completion of the program, results were evaluated. A significant portion of treatment providers and participants agreed that there was a noticeable reduction in the appearance of cellulite following the QWO injections.

Sculptra Aesthetic Filler vs. QWO Injectable

Sculptra Aesthetic dermal filler injections and QWO cellulite removal injections are separate in nature. QWO is designed for eliminating cellulite by treating fibrous septae bands. Sculptra Aesthetic, on the other hand, targets loss of skin elasticity in the buttock area for restoring support. Both treatments complement each other perfectly in the right candidate.

At your initial consultation, your cellulite removal expert will create a customized treatment plan for QWO injections with or without Sculptra fillers. Cosmetic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards receives patients from Las Vegas, NV, and nearby areas for QWO cellulite treatment.

During your initial consultation, explore your best treatment options for abdominal contouring with your surgeon. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards provides non-surgical tummy fat reduction treatments to patients in Las Vegas, NV, and surrounding communities.

Are Results Quick?

You will notice a gradual improvement in the targeted area almost immediately. The skin will begin feeling firmer and smother. Over time you will notice the circumference reducing all over the treated area. There will also be significant reduction in cellulite appearance. However, best results would take at least 10 weeks to manifest completely.

Are Results Permanent?

VelaShape II results in temporary results. However, you can prolong results with a follow-up treatment regimen. VelaShape II is a non-invasive procedure and you would need to support it with a balanced diet and exercise routine.

Number of Sessions Required

You would need about 3 – 4 treatment sessions for achieving the best results. You can substitute a longer session with multiple shorter ones. Your treatment provider will determine the best plan for you.

Causes of Cellulite

There is no specific or detailed explanation to the occurrence of cellulite. It is usually the result of an unhealthy lifestyle. However, it can also be caused because of hormonal changes and genetics. Many people, especially women get cellulite even after maintaining a healthy lifestyle and following an exercise regimen.

VelaShape II Is Safe and Painless

VelaShape II treatment is an effective and safe procedure for all skin colors, textures, and types. There are no short or long term side effects to the procedure. Most patients call the procedure to be painless. They describe the sensation as getting a warm deep-tissue massage.

VelaShape II Technology

VelaShape II makes use of a combination of different technologies for contouring the body and reducing the appearance of cellulite. Bi-polar radio frequency energies and infrared light heat the surrounding tissues and fat cells. VelaShape II makes use of thermal energy very safely. Higher levels of thermal heat help in attaining better results.

Additionally, a higher degree of controlled heat will lead to quicker results in the body and you can notice a marked improvement in your cellulite and fat reduction. Many patients report of visible results after the first result.

Thigh Fat Removal

VelaShape II treatment is recommended for patients that are normal to overweight and suffer from stubborn fat deposits or unsightly cellulite in the pelvic region, hips, thighs, and abdomen. The patients should be committed to a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle for optimized results.

Your treatment provider will determine whether you are a suitable candidate for the procedure or not. Feel free to ask questions during your initial consultation and clear all your doubts and concerns before going ahead with the treatment. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards provides non-surgical thigh fat reduction treatments to patients in Las Vegas, NV, and surrounding locations.

How Does VelaShape II Work?

VelaShape II combines suction massage, bipolar radiofrequency electrical energy, and infrared light energy. The energy works in a synergistic fashion to heat collagen, fat, and connective tissue underlying the skin. It also helps in improving the lymphatic flow and circulation of the treated area. As a result, there is an increase in metabolic pressure while the skin and collagen becomes firm.

VelaShape II Target Areas

VelaShape II is usually performed on the thighs and buttocks. It can also be performed on flanks and abdominal area to target stubborn unwanted fat in the region. Many people seek the treatment in their arms to get better toned upper arms.

How Many Procedures Are Required?

You would need more than a few procedures to get optimal results. There are many internal and external changes that take place in your body as you age. Cellulite and fat pockets become more stubborn. You would need 1 to 2 maintenance sessions every 4 to 6 months if you want to prevent new cellulite formation and want to maintain optimal results.

Time Taken By Each Treatment

Size and number of target areas determine the treatment time taken. The size of an 8 1/2” x 11” piece of paper can be treated at a time. Each area requires about 20 to 30 minutes to be treated properly.

Ideal Way to Maintain Results

People who are naturally fit will find it easy to maintain VelaShape II results. Others may have to work a little harder at exercise and diet to maintain their figure. Generally, the best way to prolong results is to keep up with regular physical exercise and have a healthy diet.

VelaShape II is a safe procedure and involves minor bruising. There is also a low risk of skin burns which is natural with any device using energy for producing heat. Properly trained providers can minimize the risk of side effects.

Alternatives to VelaShape II

VelaShape II is the first and only FDA cleared device for reducing circumference and cellulite in the thigh area. It combines three unique energies – infra-red light energy, radiofrequency electrical energy, and suction massage for delivering best results.

Alternative treatments are usually stand-alone infrared, massage, or radiofrequency. They don’t have the synergistic effect of combining various energies as VelaShape II does. The technology begins showing results where diet and exercise fails at reducing stubborn cellulite.

Butt Fat Removal

VelaShape II is a non-surgical solution to treating problem areas like the buttocks. Many women are displeased with the appearance of their buttocks and body image. VelaShape II is an easy to use, unique, and comfortable deep therapeutic body contouring therapy that requires zero downtime. It delivers consistent results with enhanced clinical protocols, which can be reproduced again and again.

VelaShape II was FDA cleared in 2007 for temporarily reducing fat deposits and cellulite in the buttocks region. It uses a three-pronged approach – RF energy, infrared light energy, and vacuum technology for deep heating at cells, underlying collagen fibers and surrounding connective tissue. Growth of new elastin and collagen is stimulated by the heating combined with vacuum pressure.

Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards provides non-surgical butt fat reduction treatments to patients in Las Vegas, NV, and surrounding locations.

What to Expect During VelaShape II Treatment

A trained VelaShape technician will apply the handpiece to your buttocks at the target area. The handpiece includes mechanical rollers for massaging and smoothing out the skin. Infrared radio frequencies will be directed on the skin at the same time. RF energy will help in warming the underlying tissues causing fat cells to break apart. Your lymphatic system will aid in getting rid of the dissolved fat.

VelaShape II Treatment Sensation

VelaShape treatment feels like a deep and warm tissue massage. The treated areas tend to feel warm hours after the treatment. However, the procedure is not at all painful. You may experience minor redness, swelling, and bruising, but these tend to resolve quickly. You don’t need to undergo any recovery or downtime after getting a VelaShape II session.

Time Taken for Results to Show

Shrinking of fat cells after VelaShape II tend to take time. However, you will notice a smoothing and tightening sensation almost immediately. You will notice a reduction in the appearance of cellulite and in circumference over the course of the treatment sessions. 4 – 6 weekly sessions are usually recommended to achieve maximum results. You would need occasional touch-ups after that for maintaining results.

How Does VelaShape II Work?

VelaShape II is powered by elos technology and combines bi-polar RF (radiofrequency) with IR (infrared) for heating the tissue at a depth of 3mm and 15mm. Deep heating of adipocytes or fat cells is caused by the combination of RF and IR tech. It also heats up the underlying dermal collagen fibers and surrounding connective fibrous septae.

Higher output of RF can cause even more efficient heating of the fat cells in the butt area. VelaShape II comes with an optimal electrode design. Concurrent application of vacuum allows for faster and deeper heat penetration.

An increase in lymphatic drainage, circulation, cellular metabolism, and collagen depositing is promoted. The technology also stimulates and remodels fibroblast activity and extracellular matrix. The result is overall improvement in skin texture and structure.

It is also possible to combine VelaShape II with other surgical or non-surgical treatments for more comprehensive lower body lift results. Cosmetic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards receives patients from Las Vegas, NV, and nearby areas for non-surgical treatments to reduce excess butt fat deposits.

Arm Fat Removal

Traditional liposuction is a significantly invasive procedure which involves removal of fat from targeted body areas. You can achieve slimmer arms with a revolutionary new treatment called VelaShape II. It helps in contouring the upper arms without the need for anesthesia or scalpels.

Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards provides non-surgical upper arm fat reduction treatments to patients in Las Vegas, NV, and surrounding communities.

What is VelaShape II?

VelaShape II is the product of four different technologies aimed at shrinking fat cells. The treatment makes use of the following:

  • Radio frequency
  • Infrared light
  • Vacuum suction
  • Mechanical massage

How Does it Work?

VelaShape II will be placed on the skin of your upper arm. It will use massage rollers and vacuum technology to knead the treatment area and create a suction of sorts. Radiofrequency energy along with infrared light will temporarily penetrate fat cells and perforate their membranes. This causes fat cells to release glycerol and fatty acids into the body.

The massage and light therapy also stimulates collagen production resulting in a better skin texture. This is why VelaShape II is FDA cleared for reducing cellulite appearance temporarily.

Number of Treatments Required

Most patients tend to notice visible results after three sessions. However, you may need 4 – 6 sessions spaced a week apart for optimal results. Each treatment session takes only about 30 minutes.

Target Areas

VelaShape II can be used for treating buttocks, upper arms, thighs, love handles, and abdomen. The treatment is non-invasive and quite comfortable.

Ideal Candidacy for VelaShape II

  • Not be susceptible to blood clots
  • Not be diagnosed as having diabetes
  • Exhibit cellulite around abdomen, pelvis, or limbs
  • Not be pregnant (doctor approval required)
  • Not have a pacemaker (doctor approval required)

Downtime and Results Associated with VelaShape II

There is no downtime to the treatment. Results tend to be temporary since VelaShape II only shrinks fat cells and doesn’t destroy them completely. You can ensure long lasting results with a balanced diet. You can prolong results by reducing your calorie intake.

According to previous client reviews, people getting upper arms fat reduction treatment have noticed favorable results. However, an active lifestyle and a balanced diet are must for long term benefits.

Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards provides non-surgical flank fat reduction treatments to patients in Las Vegas, NV, and surrounding locations.

Technology Platform of VelaShape II

Elos is a revolutionary new technology and the secret behind the success of VelaShape II. It combines four powerful energy types:

  • Infrared Light energies
  • Negative pressure (vacuum)
  • Bi-Polar Radio Frequency (RF)
  • Tissue manipulation (mechanical massage)

Results Supported by Studies

VelaShape II has clinically supported results which show that the technology can result in significant improvement in flanks contour and shape. The treatment remodels and reduces targeted subcutaneous fat layer. Alterations in physical integrity were shown by fat cells with various cell membrane forms rupturing and reducing fat tissue. This was seen through biopsy studies.

Clinical studies showed the following:

  • Circumference reduction of 0.6 cm in the arm area
  • Circumference reduction of 3.2 cm in the hip area
  • Circumference reduction of 5.73 cm in the abdomen, 4.18 cm on thighs, and 5.86 cm on hips

Massive Improvement in Skin Texture and Tone

VelaShape II, on an average, reduces cellulite by 65% on most patients. Clinical studies showed 50% improvement in cellulite appearance. Blinded doctor based evaluation showed an improvement of 40% while patient based assessment found an improvement of 62% in skin texture and cellulite reduction.

Significant visual improvement was witnessed in 50% subjects while improvements in skin texture were noticeable in 51% patients. All patients reported an increase in skin contraction because of the treatment. Skin tightening and reduction in laxity was noticed by both patients and physicians.

VelaShape II Treatment

The treatment provider will apply a lubricating spray on the targeted love handle areas prior to the treatment. VelaShape II feels like getting a deep tissue massage or an intense workout. Many patients tend to fall asleep because of the relaxing massage. You can ask the treatment provider to alter the settings if you feel discomfort.

Higher settings tend to be more effective though. Few people experience temporary redness aside from the mildly hot sensation. Bruising is also possible, which gets reabsorbed by the body within a few days. You can resume your regular routine, including sports activities immediately after the session.

You may notice an increase in your urination frequency and output. This is because you would be required to increase the amount of your fluid intake. Cosmetic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards receives patients from Las Vegas, NV, and nearby areas for non-surgical treatments to reduce excess flank fat deposits.
