Aveli is a minimally invasive treatment designed to smooth unwanted cellulite. Aveli works below the skin to directly release the fibrous bands that create cellulite, leaving the skin surface more even and refined. The treatment can be performed on its own or in combination with other procedures to enhance your results. At Mountain Lake Plastic Surgery, we are proud to offer Aveli to help you achieve your cosmetic goals.
What is Aveli Cellulite Treatment?
Aveli is an FDA-cleared procedure developed to treat cellulite at its structural source. As a minimally invasive cellulite treatment, Aveli targets the root cause of dimpling, resulting in smoother, more even skin. Cellulite affects many women because of tight fibrous bands that pull the skin downward while surrounding fat cells push upward, creating unwanted dimples.
Aveli is considered an effective cellulite treatment because it directly releases these bands to restore a smoother surface, often with noticeable improvement after a single session. It is helpful for individuals with moderate cellulite. Unlike other treatments that focus on the surface of the skin, Aveli addresses the structural source, making it an excellent choice for those with stubborn cellulite who are looking for smoother skin.
How is Aveli Performed?
The procedure is performed in-office using a handheld device that allows precise targeting of the fibrous septae beneath the skin. After numbing the treatment area with local anesthesia, we guide the device through small entry points to carefully release the tethered bands. The process typically takes an hour to complete, but it may be longer if you have many spots to treat. Because the treatment is minimally invasive, discomfort is minimal, and recovery is much faster compared to traditional surgical options.
Who is a Good Candidate?
Aveli is an excellent choice for women with visible cellulite that does not improve with diet, exercise, or weight loss. Ideal candidates are at or near their goal weight but want to improve skin texture and achieve smoother contours in areas such as the thighs or buttocks. Aveli is not as effective in massive weight loss patients with very loose skin. While Aveli is safe and effective for most, patients with certain medical conditions or specific skin concerns may require alternative treatment options. During your consultation, our team will review your goals and determine whether Aveli is right for you.
What is Recovery Like?
Most patients experience mild soreness, swelling, and bruising following the procedure, with these effects typically resolving within a week. Because Aveli is minimally invasive, downtime is limited, and most individuals can return to normal activities shortly after treatment. It is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise for a short period to allow the treatment area to fully heal. As the skin smooths and settles over the following weeks, patients notice more even skin with natural-looking results.
