Avéli

It’s entirely normal to develop cellulite around the thighs and butt, but that doesn’t mean we have to like it. When those unsightly little divots appear in our skin, they can make us feel self-conscious about wearing shorts, going swimming, or even being intimate with a new partner. Fortunately, cellulite is no longer something that we necessarily need to accept. If you’re interested in a minimally invasive method for smoothing cellulite dimples, Avéli may be the perfect solution.

What Is Avéli?

Avéli is an FDA-cleared cosmetic treatment used to reduce cellulite and smooth the skin of the thighs and buttocks. When compared to other popular cellulite treatments, Avéli is more precise and provides longer-lasting results.

How Does Avéli Work?

Avéli treatment utilizes an innovative device to carefully cut individual bands of connective fibrous tissue beneath the skin. These bands, which are called septa, tug down on the skin, causing the little divots that are known as cellulite.

During the treatment, the Avéli device is inserted into the skin through a tiny incision. Next, a small razor attached to the device is used to sever the specific bands of connective tissue that are causing the cellulite. Once the septa are cut, they stop pulling on the skin, which allows it to become smooth once again.

Benefits of Avéli

If you’re ready to say goodbye to cellulite, Avéli can provide you with some or all of the following benefits:

Significantly reduced cellulite
Smoother, firmer, more youthful-looking skin
Improved self-esteem
Minimally invasive treatment
Long-lasting results
Little to no recovery downtime

What Should I Expect During the Procedure?

If you think Avéli might be the right treatment for you, you should start by scheduling a consultation with one of our providers at the Virginia Institute of Plastic Surgery. This will be your chance to ask any questions you have about the procedure and tell the doctor about your aesthetic goals. Your provider will need to know about your medical history, medications, and allergies. If you choose to proceed with Avéli, the doctor will work with you to devise a personalized treatment plan.

How Long Is the Recovery Time?

Avéli treatment requires very little recovery downtime. You may experience some swelling, bruising, and tenderness, and those symptoms can last up to a month. You should be able to jump back into your normal routine within a day or two of the procedure, but it’s important to refrain from strenuous physical activity for at least one to two weeks.

Am I a Candidate for Avéli?

Adults who would like to eliminate their cellulite and achieve smoother, more youthful skin may be good candidates for Avéli. You could be an ideal candidate for the treatment if you meet these requirements:

Have a reasonable amount of skin elasticity
Be in generally good health
Have the desire to reduce cellulite around the thighs and/or buttocks
Have realistic expectations
Be a non-smoker

How Long Will It Take To See Results After Avéli Treatment?

You can expect the full results of your Avéli treatment to gradually appear as the bruising and swelling subside. This can take anywhere from one to three months. Although Avéli is still a relatively new treatment, the results are believed to be very long-lasting.
