Avéli Cellulite Reduction

Avéli Cellulite & Dimpled Skin Treatment

What is Cellulite and why do I have it?

Cellulite is a depression of any shape or size with defined edges seeAvélithe surface of the skin, typically on the buttocks or thighs. A major underlying cause of cellulite are the fibrous bands that tether your skin to the structures below. These bands are called septa. Some septa are good (and you want them as connective tethers), but others stiffen or shrink over time and lead to the dimples we see on the surface and call cellulite. It’s important to distinguish cellulite from other concerns like laxity or localized fat, which we can talk you through during a consultation in our office. You should also know that cellulite is not your fault (genetics and hormones play a role), and you are not alone – up to 90% of women have it!

What is an Avéli™ cellulite reduction treatment?

Avéli™ is a no-nonsense approach to treating cellulite based on a deep understanding of women’s anatomy. While many treatments approach cellulite blindly from the outside-in, Avéli™ identifies and releases the primary structural cause of cellulite from the inside-out in a single minimally-invasive procedure with little downtime.

Procedure

Avéli™ addresses the primary structural cause of cellulite and dimples in 3 steps:

  1. First, the Avéli™ device is carefully guided under the skin directly to the targeted dimples.
  2. The culprit septa bands causing the dimple(s) are identified and are precisely released.

We are here to help you through your recovery. Please do not hesitate to call our office.

Recovery

The most common side effects reported were mild pain within the first 24 hours and bruising and tenderness to the touch which typically resolved within 30 days. Some patients returned to normal activities within one day of the procedure and most within a week. As with any medical procedure, there are risks associated with the procedure. Book a consultation for more information.

POST-OPERATIVE GUIDANCE

1. Do not take Aspirin, Motrin, Aleve or herbal medications as these interfere with your blood’s ability to clot.
2. Bruising is a normal part of this procedure and should be expected. Some patients bruise more than others. Over-the-counter Arnica should be taken both before and after the procedure to help expedite its resolution.
3. It is normal for the treated areas to be sore. This will resolve with time. Extra strength Tylenol can help with any discomfort and can be taken as directed.
4. Continue to remain hydrated following the procedure.
5. Resume your regular diet, there are no restrictions.
6. Do not remove the dressings over the access sites. They will be removed at your first post-operative appointment.
7. Wear your compression garment 24 hours a day for the first week. This will help with swelling and the healing process.
8. You may shower, however immediately replace any compression that was removed.
9. Gravity causes swelling to migrate downward. This can cause areas that were not treated to become swollen (i.e. legs). This is normal and will resolve.
10. Please call the office if you experience fever, chills, increased pain or if you have any concerns. Our office hours are Monday-Thursday 9am-4pm and Friday 9am-12pm. To reach me after hours, please call the office and follow the prompts.
