Surprising Findings
CCH-aaes works equally well regardless of skin tone, despite most cosmetic studies excluding darker skin.
Most aesthetic treatments are developed and tested on white women, then marketed to everyone. This study proves a major innovation actually works across all skin types.
Practical Takeaways
If you have moderate-to-severe buttock cellulite and are under 45 with a BMI under 30, consider consulting a dermatologist about CCH-aaes (Qwo).

The treatment works just as well for women with light skin as it does for women with dark skin — skin color doesn’t make a difference in how well it works.
Cellulite is caused by fibrous septae tethering the dermis to underlying fascia, creating dimpling as subcutaneous fat herniates through these structures; enzymatic disruption of these septae can reduce the appearance of cellulite.
