If you’ve been frustrated by stubborn cellulite that doesn’t respond to diet or exercise, you may wonder if you’re a good candidate for Avéli cellulite reduction. Avéli targets and releases the structures that cause dimple-like cellulite, giving you smoother skin and the confidence to show it off.
But how do you know if this treatment is right for you? Before you book, it’s essential to understand what cellulite is, what causes it, and how Avéli works.
What Is Cellulite—And What Causes It?
Cellulite is a common and harmless condition that gives the skin a dimpled or uneven appearance, often on the thighs and buttocks. It is not caused by fat or poor lifestyle choices. Instead, it’s the result of fibrous bands called septa that connect your skin to underlying structures. When these bands pull downward and fat cells push upward, the tension creates the uneven surface we recognize as cellulite.
Genetics, hormones, and skin quality all influence the development and severity of cellulite. And while it’s perfectly normal and common, many people seek treatment to feel more confident in their appearance.
What Is Avéli Cellulite Treatment?
Avéli is a minimally invasive, FDA-cleared treatment that targets the root cause of cellulite: those fibrous septa. Using a handheld device inserted under the skin, I carefully identify and release the exact bands causing visible dimples. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia in the office and typically takes about an hour.
Unlike creams or temporary skin-smoothing treatments, Avéli addresses the underlying cause of cellulite with a single in-office session, making it one of the best cellulite reduction treatment options available today.
What Is the Best Way To Get Rid of Cellulite?
If you’re looking for a long-lasting solution to dimple-type cellulite—the kind caused by fibrous bands pulling the skin downward—Avéli is one of the best options available. It’s important to note that Avéli is not a fat reduction or skin tightening treatment, but rather for improving the appearance of discrete dimples to give the skin a smoother, more even look.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Avéli?
When assessing your candidacy for Avéli, I generally look for the following traits:
- Good skin elasticity
- Isolated dimples versus diffuse skin laxity
- Realistic expectations
The procedure targets septa, not fat, so it’s best for those close to their ideal weight who want to reduce cellulite in specific areas.
A personalized consultation is the best way for me to assess your skin and explore your candidacy for Avéli treatment.
What To Expect After Treatment
Recovery is typically quick and manageable. You can expect bruising, tenderness, and swelling, which usually resolve within a few weeks. Most patients return to normal activities within a day or two, but should avoid strenuous exercise for about a week.
You’ll notice smoother skin within a few weeks, and full results are visible after about 3 months, once swelling completely subsides.
How Long Do Avéli Results Last?
Avéli results are long-lasting—notably more durable than temporary surface treatments. In clinical studies, patients continued to see visible improvements in cellulite 1 year after treatment. While individual results vary, many people enjoy smoother skin for the long term without needing ongoing maintenance sessions.
However, it’s important to note:
- Avéli does not prevent the natural aging process, which can affect skin quality over time.
- New dimples may form as skin structure and elasticity change, especially with weight fluctuations, hormonal shifts, or genetic predisposition.
For most patients, though, the treated dimples do not return, making Avéli a highly effective choice for lasting cellulite reduction.
