PREP

We’ve all fallen victim to stubborn cellulite and bumps that won’t dissipate no matter how many times a week you exercise. Don’t let your summer get away from you without a visit to Dr. John Connors and Dr. Alexandra Hart at Plastic Surgery Group of Atlanta for a solution to your bikini woes. Using QWO, the first and only FDA-approved nonsurgical cellulite treatment, Dr. Connors can provide treatment in 10 minutes or less. While there is bruising, some see results as quickly as 10 days. It is believed that QWO breaks down the buildup of collagen in the fibrous bands, redistributing fat cells and stimulating the growth of new collagen, leaving your problem areas smooth and ready for summer. 755 Mount Vernon Highway NE, Ste. 250, plasticsurgerygroupatl.com
