Aveli® Cellulite Treatment

Cellulite affects many people, but it’s often misunderstood. While you may blame excess fat for those frustrating dimples, the real issue lies beneath the skin. Fibrous bands of connective tissue pull the skin downward, creating the dimpled appearance you wish to smooth away.

At North Raleigh Plastic Surgery, Dr. Ortiz provides Avéli, a cutting-edge, FDA-cleared treatment that releases these bands, giving you the smoother, more even skin surface you’ve been looking for.

How Does Avéli Work?

Avéli targets and releases the septa bands responsible for cellulite. The procedure is performed with a handheld device that enables precise treatment.

Here’s what to expect during your session:

• Preparation: Your provider will begin by numbing the treatment area with a local anesthetic to ensure your comfort.
• Marking & Incisions: Once the area is prepped, your surgeon will mark the targeted dimples and insert the device under the skin through small incisions.
• Precise Treatment: Your provider will identify and release the fibrous bands causing cellulite using the Avéli device, equipped with a light at its tip. Real-time feedback ensures your surgeon can precisely target specific bands for effective results.

The procedure is efficient, typically taking about an hour, depending on the number of dimples treated. Because the incisions are small, scarring is minimal, and most patients describe the experience as straightforward and comfortable.

Are You a Candidate for Avéli?

Avéli is ideal for adults looking to address cellulite on the thighs or buttocks. While it doesn’t treat excess fat or skin laxity, it pairs well with other procedures like Renuvion® skin tightening or liposuction to contour your thighs and buttocks comprehensively.

You may not be a candidate for Avéli if you:

• Have active infections or skin lesions in the treatment area
• Are pregnant
• Take anticoagulant medications or have bleeding disorders

A consultation with Dr. Ortiz will determine if Avéli is right for you. Together, you’ll review your medical history, explore your aesthetic goals, and create a customized treatment plan.

What Are the Benefits of Avéli?

Avéli stands out among cellulite treatments for its precision and effectiveness. Key benefits include:

• Long-lasting results: By releasing the fibrous bands directly responsible for cellulite, Avéli provides a noticeable improvement in skin texture.
• One-session treatment: Patients typically achieve their desired results after a single session.
• Minimally invasive: With small incisions and localized treatment, recovery is quick and scarring is minimal.
• Real-time feedback: The device’s advanced technology ensures precise and effective results.

With minimal downtime and impressive results, Avéli fits seamlessly into even the busiest schedules.

What To Expect During Recovery

Recovery after Avéli is generally mild and well tolerated. While most patients can return to their routine quickly, we recommend avoiding strenuous lower-body activities for about a week to support optimal healing. Mild bruising or swelling may occur but typically resolves within a few days. Within weeks, you’ll begin to enjoy smoother, more even skin.

Whether you’re getting ready for a big event or simply want to feel better in your own skin, Avéli can help you achieve your goals.
