What is cellulite? Why do I have cellulite?
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.
What is Avéli?
The procedure for Avéli is performed with a unique device that eliminates cellulite bands under the skin. The instrument stems from many years of research, looking to get to the root of the issue without the need for more invasive surgery. The primary function of this treatment is to cut cellulite bands from underneath the skin, releasing their downward hold, which is the cause of unwanted dimples.
WHAT CAN Avéli TREAT?
Avéli is designed with a particular purpose: to eliminate cellulite successfully in the buttocks and thighs. This treatment helps smooth the skin, achieve a more youthful appearance, and can help boost confidence.

Before & After Avéli
THE PROCEDURE
The procedure for Avéli starts with a small incision in the targeted area, followed by the insertion of a hook-shaped device. Once the device has penetrated the skin, it will rotate and cut the fibrous cellulite bands from underneath the skin, making it rise and look smoother.
Many patients prefer Avéli over other procedures because it only requires one session to see results in the area they want to treat. It can also be done in around an hour utilizing local anesthesia.
RECOVERY
A significant advantage of Avéli is that it requires minimal downtime. Most patients can return to regular activities within two days and regular exercise within a few weeks. As the swelling subsides, the procedure's effects will begin to appear around one month after treatment.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE FIRST TWO DAYS
- Wear compression shorts or tight pants for at least two weeks to minimize swelling.
- Manage pain with over-the-counter pain relief medications.
- Showers are allowed 24 hours following the procedure. However, you should avoid soaking in hot tubs, bathtubs, and pools for at least one month following the treatment.
- Do not perform intense exercise for at least two weeks.
SIDE EFFECTS
Some clinical studies indicated that the most prominent side effects you will feel are slight bruising and swelling. However, most side effects go away within a month of treatment.
