Avéli™
Long-Term Cellulite Reduction

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 are the fibrous bands that tether your skin to the structures below. These bands are called septa. 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.

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.

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. Avéli™ addresses the primary structural cause of cellulite in 3 steps:

1. 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.
3. Your provider can confirm their release in real-time, delivering visibly smoother skin quickly after the procedure.

Exact timing varies depending on the personalized plan from your provider. During a single cellulite procedure, a provider can fully treat the targeted cellulite dimples on both your buttocks and thighs, multiple sessions are not needed.

Downtime is little to none. In the clinical study, most patients returned to normal activities within 24-48 hours.

The most common side effects reported in the clinical study 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.
