What Is Avéli®?
Avéli® is an FDA-cleared device that targets cellulite at its source by releasing the fibrous bands (called septa) beneath the skin that pull down and create the characteristic dimple appearance. Unlike topical creams or temporary treatments, Avéli® offers a longer-lasting solution by releasing the specific bands responsible for each dimple.
Who Is a Candidate for Avéli®?
Avéli® is best suited for women who have moderate to severe cellulite on the thighs or buttocks and are at or near their ideal body weight. It is not a weight loss treatment or a substitute for skin tightening but typically works well for those looking to improve dimpled skin in specific areas. Our team will perform a consultation to determine whether Avéli® is the right choice based on your skin type, body goals, and overall health.
What Does the Avéli® Treatment Involve?
Avéli® is performed in-office using local anesthesia to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure. Once the area is numbed, your provider will insert a specialized, handheld device just beneath the skin through small, strategically placed incisions. This device is designed to precisely identify and release the individual fibrous bands that are pulling down on the skin and creating visible dimples.
One of the key advantages of Avéli® is its real-time, guided approach. Your provider can identify exactly which bands are causing dimpling and release them with precision — improving treatment accuracy while preserving surrounding tissue.
The entire procedure typically takes less than an hour, depending on the number and location of dimples being treated. Once the treatment is complete, you should be able to go home the same day.
What Can I Expect in My Avéli® Recovery?
Recovery from Avéli® is generally quick and straightforward. Most patients experience some mild bruising, swelling, or tenderness in the treated areas, which typically subsides within a few days to a few weeks. You can return home the same day as your procedure and may resume light activities shortly after, depending on your comfort level.
While you should not need significant downtime, it is best to avoid strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, or anything that puts pressure on the treated area for at least one to two weeks. Wearing loose, comfortable clothing can help minimize irritation as your skin heals. Your provider will give you personalized aftercare instructions and let you know when it is safe to resume your normal routine.
When Will I See My Avéli® Results?
Most patients begin to see smoother, more even skin within about a month of treatment, with continued improvement as any swelling or bruising subsides. The procedure targets the root cause of cellulite, so just one session can deliver noticeable, lasting results.
Because Avéli® releases the specific fibrous bands that cause dimpling, improvements can often be maintained for years. While results will vary for each patient, most women enjoy a visible reduction in cellulite and feel more confident wearing swimsuits, shorts, and fitted clothing.
