Many assume excess fat causes cellulite, but the true culprit lies beneath the surface. Fibrous bands of connective tissue under the skin pull it downward, creating a dimpled, uneven appearance that many patients want to smooth away.

Your Procedure
Our surgeons perform Avéli with a handheld device designed to precisely release the septa bands responsible for cellulite dimpling. After preparing the treatment area with a local anesthetic for your comfort, your surgeon will mark the targeted dimples while you are standing.
Next, you will lie on the treatment table, and the surgeon will insert the Avéli device into small incisions near the targeted dimples. With the guidance of a light at the tip of the device, the surgeon identifies the septa bands and carefully releases them. Real-time feedback ensures precise targeting and effective treatment.
Because the incisions are so small, scarring is minimal, and most patients find the procedure comfortable and efficient. Treatment typically takes about an hour, depending on the number of dimples being addressed.

While recovery is generally minimal, your provider may recommend avoiding strenuous lower-body activities for the first week to ensure optimal healing. Bruising and swelling typically subside quickly, and you can enjoy smoother skin in just a few weeks. Avéli’s minimally invasive nature allows you to return to your routine without significant downtime.
Your Results
In most cases, Avéli offers long-lasting results with just one treatment session. By targeting and releasing the fibrous bands causing cellulite, Avéli significantly improves skin texture. Whether you’re preparing for a special event or simply want to feel more confident in your skin, Avéli can help your skin look smoother and more even.
Are You a Candidate?
Avéli is ideal for adults who want to address cellulite on the buttocks or thighs. While not designed to treat excess fat or skin laxity, it pairs well with other treatments to target multiple concerns.
Avéli may not be suitable for patients who:
- Have active infections or skin lesions in the treatment area
- Are pregnant
- Take anticoagulant medications or have bleeding disorders
Every patient is unique, and a consultation with Dr. Olson or Dr. Marks allows you to review your medical history, explore your options, and develop a customized plan. Whether you’re focused solely on cellulite reduction or considering complementary treatments, we’ll guide you toward achieving your aesthetic goals.

Plan My TreatmentCombining Avéli With Other Treatments
Avéli can be performed as a standalone treatment. But for patients seeking more dramatic results, it can be combined with treatments such as CoolSculpting® or liposuction to reduce stubborn fat or Renuvion® skin tightening to improve skin laxity. These options work synergistically to enhance your results and create a smoother, more sculpted appearance.
