Cellulite is a depression of any shape or size with defined edges seen on the surface of the skin, typically on the buttocks or thighs. A major underlying cause of cellulite is the fibrous bands that tether your skin to the structures below. These bands are called septa.2 Some septa are good (and you want them as connective tethers), but others stiffen or shrink over time and lead to the dimples we see on the surface and call cellulite.2
It’s important to distinguish cellulite from other concerns like laxity or localized fat, which we can talk you through during a consultation in our office. You should also know that cellulite is not your fault (genetics and hormones play a role), and you are not alone — up to 90% of women have it!3
Avéli™ is a no-nonsense approach to treating cellulite based on a deep understanding of women’s anatomy. While many treatments approach cellulite blindly from the outside-in, Avéli™ identifies and releases the primary structural cause of cellulite from the inside-out in a single minimally-invasive procedure with little downtime.2
Avéli™ is an option for a range of women across the cellulite severity spectrum. The procedure is performed by one of our trained providers and uses a handheld device to manually target and release the complicated web of septa bands causing cellulite dimples.2
Avéli™ addresses the primary structural cause of cellulite in 3 steps:
- Your provider guides the Avéli™ device under the skin directly to the targeted dimples.2
- After your provider identifies the culprit septa bands causing a dimple, those septa are precisely released.2
- Your provider can confirm their release in real time, delivering visibly smoother skin quickly after the procedure.2,4
More Common Questions
Avéli™ may be a great option if you’re struggling with the appearance of cellulite and want a minimally invasive solution with lasting results. This treatment is designed for adults in good health who have realistic expectations about cosmetic procedures.
An in-person consultation with our team will help you confirm if it’s a good fit for you by evaluating skin quality and the presence of fibrous bands beneath the surface. For many, the procedure offers a balance of accessibility and noticeable improvement without extensive downtime.
Avéli™ treats the septa bands causing cellulite dimples.2 It is not a procedure that addresses other concerns often seen alongside cellulite, such as laxity (loose skin) or localized pockets of fat.
Nope! During a single cellulite procedure, a provider can fully treat the targeted cellulite dimples on both your buttocks and thighs.4
A typical procedure will take around an hour, including local anesthesia and the procedure itself. The exact timing will vary depending on the personalized procedure plan from your provider.
Little to none. In the clinical study, most patients returned to normal activities within 24-48 hours.4
In the clinical study, the most common side effects reported were mild pain within the first 24 hours and bruising and tenderness to the touch which typically resolved within 30 days. Small areas of firmness, usually not visible or painful, typically resolved in a couple of months.4
It is recommended to avoid any strenuous activities or workouts in the first few days/weeks after the procedure to allow the area to heal.5 We will provide you with complete post-procedure expectations and recommendations.
Participants in the clinical study demonstrated a lasting reduction in the appearance of their cellulite when assessed one year after the procedure.1
You should avoid direct sun exposure on treated areas for at least one to two weeks following your Avéli™ session. Ultraviolet rays can intensify inflammation and may prolong healing, especially if there’s a visible bruise or tenderness present. Protective clothing and medical-grade skin care products can help support the healing process.
Post-treatment recovery is typically brief, with most individuals resuming light activity within a day or two. Some swelling or mild bruising may occur as the body adjusts, but these side effects often fade quickly. Gentle stretching or massage can potentially help the surrounding tissue settle comfortably.
Avéli™ is most commonly used to address cellulite on the thighs and buttocks, where dimpling tends to be more prominent. The procedure specifically targets the fibrous bands that pull down on the skin, creating smoother contours.
While it is not designed for the breast area, it can complement body contouring treatments by improving adjacent regions. Results are often more refined when combined with a comprehensive health and wellness plan.
