How QWO and Aveli Tackle Cellulite Beneath the Surface

Many women feel self-conscious about cellulite, even though it’s completely normal. But when it starts affecting your confidence, it may be time to explore real solutions. 

At Luxurgery in New York City, Dr. Sachin M. Shridharani helps patients take a different approach. With advanced procedures like QWO and Aveli, he addresses cellulite where it starts: beneath the surface.

What Really Causes Cellulite?

Cellulite isn’t just about fat. It’s caused by fibrous bands called septa that pull the skin down while fat pushes up around them. 

This tension creates dimpling, most often seen on the thighs and buttocks. It happens to people of all shapes and sizes, and it’s usually not something you can fix with exercise alone.

QWO: The Injectable Option

QWO is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that uses enzymes to break down the fibrous bands under the skin. It’s quick, typically takes under 30 minutes, and requires no anesthesia. Most people need to have several sessions a few weeks apart. 

You might have some temporary bruising, but there’s no major downtime with this treatment. QWO is a great option for those looking for a non-invasive way to reduce moderate to severe cellulite.

Aveli: One-and-Done Cellulite Treatment

Aveli is a minimally invasive procedure that also targets the fibrous septa, but it does so mechanically. Using a small, handheld device, Dr. Shridharani can locate and release each individual band in real time.

Aveli is done with local anesthesia, and it typically requires just one session. You can expect some bruising and swelling afterward, but many patients go back to normal routines within days.

QWO vs. Aveli: Which One Makes Sense for You?

Both QWO and Aveli can smooth cellulite dimples, but they approach the problem differently. QWO uses enzymes and works over time through multiple injections, while Aveli physically cuts the bands in one go. 

Some patients prefer the convenience of fewer sessions, while others want the least invasive option. During your consultation, Dr. Shridharani will walk you through the pros and cons based on your situation.
