Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Avéli
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Most patients resume regular activities within one to two days. Mild bruising and soreness may occur but typically resolve within a few weeks.
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.
Many patients notice immediate improvement, with full results appearing within one to three months as swelling subsides.
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.
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.
Avéli is safe and effective for all skin types and tones, as it doesn't use heat energy that could cause pigmentation issues.
Most patients enjoy a dramatic improvement in just one session. However, those with extensive cellulite may consider additional treatments.
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.
Treatment generally takes under an hour, depending on the dimples being treated.
