Background: Collagenase (CCH-aaes; QWO [Endo Aesthetics, Malvern, PA]) is an injectable, enzyme-based treatment indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe cellulite on the buttocks of adult women. The minimally invasive nature of the treatment makes it an attractive option for targeted disruption of the fibrous septae which give rise to the dimples characteristic of cellulite in buttocks and thighs.
Objectives: The article provides an overview of cellulite treatment with CCH-aaes, including patient identification and education, treatment planning, CCH-aaes dilution, injection technique, safety, and early experience with mitigation of adverse events, including bruising.
