What Is Avéli®?
How Does Avéli® Work to Treat Cellulite?
Aveli works by addressing the root cause of cellulite: fibrous septae. These bands of connective tissue pull down on the skin, creating the uneven texture associated with cellulite. During the Aveli treatment, a small, handheld device is inserted just beneath the skin. Your specialist at Perfect Skin Center identifies and releases the targeted fibrous bands through precision-guided technology. The entire Aveli process is completed in real-time, allowing for highly accurate results. The skin smooths out once the bands are cut, and the dimples are significantly reduced.
Unlike other cellulite treatments that rely on external energy, Aveli directly treats the source of the problem. This approach results in more immediate, noticeable results with minimal downtime. It’s a long-term solution, offering smoother skin without the need for constant maintenance or repeat treatments.
What Areas Can Avéli® Treat?
- Buttocks
- Thighs
- Hips
Who Are Good Candidates for Avéli® Cellulite Treatment?
- Have moderate to severe cellulite and are looking for a long-term solution
- Are near their target body weight but struggle with the appearance of dimpled skin
- Want a minimally invasive treatment with little downtime
- Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations
How to Prepare for Avéli® Treatment
- Avoid taking anti-inflammatory medications, such as ibuprofen, at least 24 hours before the treatment.
- Refrain from consuming alcohol or caffeine the day of the procedure, as this can increase bruising or swelling.
- Stay hydrated and eat a light meal before your appointment.
- Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing to your Aveli appointment to minimize irritation post-treatment.
What to Expect During Avéli® Cellulite Treatment
Preparation
Your appointment will begin with a consultation, during which your provider will discuss the areas you’d like to treat and explain the procedure in more detail. They will then mark the target areas on your skin and apply a local anesthetic to keep you comfortable throughout the treatment.Treatment
Once the anesthetic takes effect, your provider will use the Aveli device to carefully identify and release the fibrous bands causing your cellulite. This process involves inserting a small probe just beneath your skin’s surface and precisely targeting the bands. You may feel slight pressure, but the procedure is generally well-tolerated and takes about 60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.Aftercare
You’ll be able to leave the clinic shortly after your treatment. Patients can typically resume most of their regular activities within one or two days, though your provider will give you personalized aftercare instructions to follow for the best results.What to Expect After Avéli®: Recovery and Downtime
Immediately After Treatment
You may experience some mild swelling, bruising and redness in the treated areas. These effects are temporary and typically subside within a few days to a week. You might also feel some tenderness or discomfort, but over-the-counter pain relievers should help manage any soreness.The First Few Weeks
We typically recommend that you avoid strenuous exercise and wear compression garments to reduce swelling for at least one week. As your body heals, your skin will continue to smooth out in the weeks following your Aveli procedure.Long-Term Aftercare
While the treatment addresses the root cause of cellulite, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with balanced nutrition and regular exercise can support healthy skin and long-lasting results.What Results to Expect From Avéli® Cellulite Treatment
When Will I See My Avéli® Results?
Aveli offers the advantage of delivering immediate improvements in the appearance of cellulite. You can expect to see smoother skin right after the treatment as the fibrous bands causing the dimpling are released during the session. While you’ll notice an initial reduction in cellulite right away, the results will continue to improve over the following weeks as any swelling and bruising subside. Typically, most patients see significant results within one to two weeks after treatment, with full results becoming more apparent in about three to six months as your body continues to heal and adjust. Over the next few months, the skin will look smoother and firmer as the treated areas settle.How Long Do Avéli® Results Last?
Results from Aveli can last several years, though individual factors like your skin elasticity, overall health and lifestyle may affect longevity. Because Aveli treats the underlying cause of cellulite, the results are long-lasting compared to topical treatments or noninvasive therapies.FAQs
How much does Avéli® cost?
The cost of Aveli varies based on several factors, including the size of your treatment area and the number of dimples being addressed. At Perfect Skin Center, pricing will be discussed during your initial consultation. Factors that may affect your overall Aveli cost include:
- The number of areas being treated
- The severity of the cellulite
- Any additional treatments or services you choose to complement your Aveli results
While Aveli is an investment, its long-lasting results and minimal need for repeat treatments make it a cost-effective option for addressing cellulite.
What are the risks and side effects of Avéli®?
Aveli is minimally invasive, but like with any procedure, there are some potential side effects and risks. Common Aveli side effects include bruising, swelling and tenderness at the treatment site. These effects are typically mild and subside within a few days to a week.
As with any treatment that involves punctures in the skin, there is a small risk of infection, but this risk can be minimized by following proper aftercare and maintaining good hygiene. In rare cases, patients may experience temporary nerve irritation or numbness in the treated area. Minimal scarring is uncommon but could occur, particularly in individuals prone to scarring. Additionally, while rare, allergic reactions to the local anesthetic used during the procedure can happen.
Your provider will thoroughly review all potential Aveli side effects and risks during your consultation and give you detailed aftercare instructions to reduce the likelihood of complications.
Will I need more than one Avéli® treatment session?
Aveli is designed to deliver noticeable, long-lasting results in just one session. Once the bands that cause your cellulite are released, the results are typically long-term. Since Aveli works in real-time, your experienced specialist at Perfect Skin Center can confirm that all necessary bands are treated during your session.
While one session is usually sufficient, additional treatments may be recommended in rare cases if further refinement is desired. However, repeat treatments are not typically required unless new cellulite develops over time.
Can Avéli® be combined with other treatments?
Yes, Aveli can be combined with other aesthetic treatments to achieve enhanced results. Your provider at Perfect Skin Center may recommend treatments like skin tightening or body contouring to complement your cellulite treatment and further improve your skin’s appearance.
Is Avéli® painful?
Aveli is well-tolerated by most patients. Local anesthesia is used to numb the treatment area, and while you may feel some pressure during the procedure, it’s generally not painful. Most patients describe the treatment sensation as mild discomfort rather than pain.
How does Avéli® compare to other cellulite treatments?
Aveli offers a distinct approach to cellulite reduction by directly targeting the fibrous septae that cause dimpling beneath the skin. This precision-based, minimally invasive method sets it apart from other cellulite treatments.
At Perfect Skin Center, we offer a range of effective cellulite solutions, each with unique benefits, allowing us to customize treatments to meet your needs. Here's how Aveli compares to some of the other popular cellulite treatments we offer:
Avéli® vs. Cellfina®
Both Aveli and Cellfina target the fibrous bands that cause cellulite. Aveli is known for its real-time precision and immediate results. Similarly, Cellfina uses a minimally invasive technique to release the bands, offering smooth skin with lasting results. While both are highly effective, Aveli’s real-time identification of bands allows for targeted treatment of each dimple. Cellfina is an excellent choice for patients seeking results over a slightly longer recovery time, while Aveli may be more appealing for those seeking more immediate smoothing with minimal downtime.
Avéli® vs. Morpheus8®
Morpheus8 uses a combination of microneedling and radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production, improving skin texture and tightening. While it helps reduce the appearance of cellulite by addressing skin laxity, it does not directly target the fibrous bands that cause cellulite dimpling like Aveli does. If you're seeking a treatment that smooths and tightens the skin, Morpheus8 may be ideal, but for more targeted cellulite reduction, Aveli is a better fit.
Avéli® vs. Sofwave™
Sofwave uses next-generation ultrasound technology to stimulate collagen and elastin production, which tightens the skin and reduces the appearance of cellulite over time. However, it primarily addresses surface-level concerns and skin laxity rather than the structural cause of cellulite. Sofwave may be an excellent choice for those who want to improve skin texture and firmness, while Aveli is better suited for targeting moderate to severe cellulite dimpling.
Avéli® vs. Thermage®
Thermage uses radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin, improving the appearance of mild cellulite over time. While Thermage works by tightening the skin and enhancing its texture, it does not target the fibrous bands beneath the surface, which makes it a great option for patients focused on skin laxity or fine lines along with cellulite reduction. Aveli, on the other hand, is best for patients who want a direct treatment for the structural causes of cellulite. Depending on your goals, a combination of Aveli and Thermage could deliver comprehensive skin smoothing and tightening results.
Aveli is a powerful choice if you're looking for a targeted, long-lasting solution to moderate to severe cellulite. However, Perfect Skin Center offers a wide array of complementary treatments that can enhance your overall results, depending on your specific skin concerns and goals. Whether you're seeking a noninvasive approach, skin tightening or a combination of methods, our experienced team can help guide you toward the best option for your needs.
