MEDICAL SOLUTION FOR A MEDICAL ISSUE

If you’ve struggled with the annoyance of cellulite, you already know that it is not an accumulation of too much fat that you can exercise or diet away. In fact, slender people can develop cellulite, too. Your amount of body fat can be a contributing factor. Additionally, genetics, your age and the thickness of your skin all play a major role. It is worth noting that if you’re female, you’re much more likely to develop cellulite than if you’re male.

So what is this pesky cellulite? Basically, skin is connected to underlying muscle by fibrous bands. When these connecting bands tighten, they pull the skin down, allowing fat cells to push up in between. The result is the dimpled or wavy surface appearance we call cellulite. The only way to effectively reduce the appearance of cellulite is to loosen those connecting bands that cause the problem.

How Does Avéli® Work?

Avéli is a minimally-invasive treatment that uses a device similar to a needle to target and cut each fibrous band, releasing the sub-surface tension that produces cellulite’s puckered appearance. Used to treat cellulite in the buttocks and thighs, Avéli treatment restores visibly smoother skin quickly with long-term results in just one office visit.

To perform the treatment, we first apply a local anesthetic. Then the device is guided precisely to each dimple-causing band to release it. Avéli’s technology allows us to immediately confirm that the bands have been released. This can be a standalone procedure or paired with others like a tummy tuck, mommy makeover, liposuction, or Brazilian butt lift.

Avéli®: Post-Treatment

You can expect to have some initial tenderness, bruising and swelling which usually resolve within 30 days. While you may give yourself as little as one day of downtime, most patients choose to take a few days before returning to their regular routine. You will likely want to avoid putting any weight on the treatment area so consider some time on your feet during the day and on your stomach while sleeping.

As swelling and bruising fade, you will see noticeably smoother skin in the treated area. Results are long-lasting.

Lower Body Rejuvenation

We are excited to offer a comprehensive lower body rejuvenation package that combines the revolutionary Avéli cellulite treatment with the latest advances in RF microneedling (Morpheus8) and Renuvion skin tightening technologies. This tailored approach addresses a variety of concerns, from stubborn cellulite to skin laxity, helping you achieve the coveted “Pilates Butt” or reverse the unfortunate “Ozempic Pancake Butt.”

Avéli Cellulite Treatment

Avéli is a one-time, minimally invasive procedure specifically designed to target the structural causes of cellulite in the lower body. By precisely releasing the fibrous bands that create dimpling, Avéli offers a long-term solution to cellulite, resulting in smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
Morpheus8 RF Microneedling

To enhance the effects of Avéli, we integrate Morpheus8, a cutting-edge RF microneedling technology that remodels and contours the skin. Morpheus8 uses microneedles to deliver fractional radiofrequency energy deep into the skin, stimulating collagen production and tightening the layers below. This is ideal for improving skin texture and firmness.
Renuvion Skin Tightening

Renuvion complements the cellulite reduction and skin firming by providing a dramatic tightening effect. This advanced technology combines cold helium plasma with RF energy to contract the skin immediately, achieving results that are often visible right after the treatment. Renuvion is particularly effective for lifting and refining the contours of your lower body.

Understanding the Science Behind Avéli: How It Targets Cellulite

Cellulite is a common concern. It can affect nearly anyone, regardless of body type or fitness level.

Cellulite develops when fibrous bands, known as septa, pull on the skin, creating unwanted dimples. Avéli is a minimally invasive treatment designed to address this issue at its root.

During treatment, Dr. Harris uses a specially designed tool to cut or "release" these septa, which leads to the skin springing back to its original smoothness.

This targeted approach ensures that the underlying cause of cellulite is addressed, providing lasting results.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Avéli

Who is a good candidate for Avéli treatment?

If you have noticeable cellulite dimples on areas like the buttocks or thighs, and you're at a healthy, stable weight, Avéli could be a good solution for you.

How does Avéli reduce cellulite?

Avéli works by mechanically releasing the fibrous septa that cause cellulite dimples beneath the skin. This release allows the skin to return to a smoother appearance without the tethering effect of these bands.

How does Avéli compare to other cellulite treatments?

Avéli offers a targeted approach by directly releasing the fibrous bands causing cellulite. While treatments like QWO use injectable enzymes to break down these bands, and Cellfina employs a microblade technique, Avéli provides precise control, leading to consistent and effective outcomes.

How long do the results of Avéli cellulite treatment last?

Since Avéli addresses the structural cause of cellulite, the results are long-lasting. However, factors like aging and lifestyle can influence skin appearance over time.

Can Avéli be combined with body contouring surgery?

Avéli can be combined with body contouring treatments to enhance overall results. For example, many patients add Avéli to their mommy makeover or other surgeries.

What is the recovery process like after Avéli treatment?

Most patients resume regular activities within one to two days. Mild bruising and soreness may occur but typically resolve within a few weeks.

Is Avéli cellulite treatment uncomfortable, and what does it feel like?

A local anesthetic is applied during the procedure, ensuring minimal discomfort. You might feel some mild tugging or pressure sensations, but it's short-lived and not painful.

How soon will I see results from Avéli cellulite reduction?

Many patients notice immediate improvement, with full results appearing within one to three months as swelling subsides.

Are there any side effects or risks associated with Avéli cellulite removal?

Temporary minor side effects may include swelling, bruising, and tenderness. Serious complications like infection are rare, especially when you're under the expert care of Dr. Harris.

Can Avéli help with skin laxity or sagging skin in addition to cellulite?

Avéli specifically targets cellulite dimples but doesn't treat skin laxity. We offer a broad range of skin tightening treatments that can work alongside Avéli for optimal results.

Is Avéli cellulite treatment safe for all skin types and tones?

Avéli is safe and effective for all skin types and tones, as it doesn't use heat energy that could cause pigmentation issues.

Will I need multiple treatments, or is one Avéli session enough?

Most patients enjoy a dramatic improvement in just one session. However, those with extensive cellulite may consider additional treatments.

What areas of the body can be treated with Avéli cellulite reduction?

Avéli is primarily used on the buttocks and thighs, where cellulite dimples are most common. A consultation can determine if other areas may be treated.

How long does the Avéli cellulite treatment procedure take?

Treatment generally takes under an hour, depending on the dimples being treated.

By combining Avéli with Morpheus8 and Renuvion, we offer a unique solution that both reduces cellulite and enhances your skin's overall tightness. This combination is perfect for those looking to achieve significant aesthetic improvements with minimally invasive procedures.
