Aveli Cellulite Treatment

Cellulite is a common concern that affects women of all shapes and sizes. Those deep, uneven dimples on the thighs and buttocks can feel frustrating, particularly because they are often resistant to diet, exercise, and topical treatments. At South Jersey Aesthetics in Cape May Court House, NJ, we offer Avéli®, a minimally invasive solution that targets cellulite at its source for smoother skin.

If you’re looking for a long-term solution to stubborn cellulite dimples, Avéli® offers a clinically proven treatment that targets the root cause beneath the skin. Performed in-office with minimal downtime, Avéli® uses a specialized device to release the fibrous bands that pull down on the skin and create dimples, resulting in a smoother, more even appearance. This single-session treatment is ideal for women seeking visible, lasting results without surgery or extensive recovery time.

What Is Avéli®?

Avéli® is a minimally invasive procedure performed by a trained provider that delivers a lasting reduction in cellulite dimples on the buttocks and thighs after a single in-office visit. Avéli® is the first and only cellulite procedure that allows a physician to identify and release the bands under the skin (called septa) that cause cellulite dimples with real-time confirmation of release.

How Does Avéli® Work?

Avéli® is a minimally invasive cellulite treatment that targets the underlying cause of cellulite dimples: fibrous septa bands beneath the skin. These bands tether the skin down, creating the uneven, dimpled appearance commonly associated with cellulite, especially on the thighs and buttocks. During the procedure, a trained provider uses the Avéli® device to:

  • Identify the individual septa bands contributing to visible cellulite.
  • Precisely release these bands using a small, handheld device inserted just beneath the skin.
  • Confirm the release in real time to ensure each treated area is properly addressed.
  • This process allows the skin to smooth out naturally over time, reducing the appearance of dimples.

How Can You Benefit From Avéli®?

Avéli® is designed for patients seeking a straightforward, effective approach to cellulite reduction without the need for multiple treatments or invasive surgery. Below are some of the key benefits that make Avéli® a standout option for treating cellulite on the thighs and buttocks.

Long-Lasting Results

Avéli® addresses cellulite at the structural level by manually releasing the septae that cause dimples. Clinical results have shown visible improvement that can last for up to 12 months or more after a single treatment. 

Precision Targeting

Avéli® allows providers to identify and manually release the exact bands responsible for cellulite dimples. This personalized and targeted approach ensures more consistent and noticeable results compared to creams or energy-based devices.

Minimally Invasive With Minimal Downtime

Since it’s a single, handheld device inserted under the skin, there are no major incisions.

Downtime is minimal—most patients experience mild bruising or soreness and return to normal activities within 24 to 48 hours.

Smooth, Natural-Looking Skin

By physically releasing the tethering bands, Avéli® helps the skin spring back into place, improving the appearance of dimples and creating smoother contours.

No Need for Anesthesia or Incisions

Unlike surgical options like liposuction, Avéli® is performed under local anesthesia, allowing for a more comfortable experience without general anesthesia or stitches. This means you can avoid the risks and recovery times typically associated with surgery.

Faster Treatment Time

Compared to other cellulite treatments, Avéli® typically takes just one hour or less, allowing you to return to your day with minimal disruption. This makes it a convenient option for those with busy schedules or those looking for a quick solution without a lengthy recovery period.

Avéli® vs. Other Cellulite Reduction Treatments

When you’re exploring cellulite treatment options, it’s important to understand how Avéli® compares to other popular methods like topical creams, radiofrequency devices, acoustic wave therapy, and subcision. While many treatments aim to reduce the appearance of dimples, Avéli® is designed to target the structural cause of cellulite—the fibrous septa beneath the skin—for longer-lasting, more precise results.

Avéli® vs. Topical Creams

Topical creams may temporarily firm or hydrate the skin but do not address the fibrous bands that cause cellulite dimpling. Avéli®, on the other hand, physically releases these bands beneath the skin to treat cellulite at its source. Unlike daily-use creams, Avéli® typically requires only one treatment for visible improvement.

Avéli® vs. Radiofrequency and Laser Treatments

Radiofrequency and laser-based treatments use heat to stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin. While these can improve skin texture, they offer more gradual and temporary results. Avéli® provides immediate structural release of cellulite-causing bands, making it more effective for those looking to reduce defined dimples with lasting results.

Avéli® vs. Acoustic Wave Therapy

Acoustic wave therapy uses sound waves to improve circulation and break up connective tissue. It often requires multiple sessions and ongoing maintenance. Avéli® is a one-time, in-office procedure that directly targets and releases the septa, offering longer-term improvement without the need for repeat visits.

Avéli® vs. Subcision

Subcision, like Avéli®, involves releasing fibrous bands beneath the skin. However, subcision is typically done blindly with a needle, while Avéli® allows real-time confirmation of band release through a guided, controlled approach. This makes Avéli® a more precise and predictable option for cellulite reduction.

Frequently Asked Questions About Avéli®

At South Jersey Aesthetics, we understand that cost is an important consideration when choosing a cellulite treatment. The cost of an Avéli® procedure can vary depending on several factors, such as the severity of cellulite and the specific treatment plan discussed during your consultation. Unlike other treatments that require multiple sessions, Avéli® is typically a single-session treatment, offering a clear financial advantage over options that demand repeat visits.

We believe in transparency, so we provide upfront pricing during your consultation. We’ll discuss the cost of your personalized Avéli® treatment plan and any additional fees that may apply. We aim to ensure that you’re fully informed before making any decisions.

For your convenience, we offer flexible payment options to help make your treatment more accessible. Financing options may also be available through trusted third-party providers, allowing you to pay for your treatment in manageable installments. This ensures that you can prioritize your skincare goals without financial stress.

If you are a woman looking for long-term reduction in cellulite dimples from a single, minimally invasive in-office procedure, Avéli® could be for you! Avéli® is best suited for individuals with visible cellulite dimples on the buttocks or thighs who are in generally good health and not seeking treatment for skin laxity or excess fat. We will evaluate your skin type, treatment goals, and severity of cellulite to determine if Avéli® is the most effective option for you.
Avéli® treats the septa bands causing cellulite dimples from the inside-out. It is not a procedure that addresses other concerns often seen alongside cellulite, such as laxity or pockets of fat. Because it focuses specifically on releasing the fibrous bands beneath the skin, Avéli® is ideal for patients looking to improve the appearance of deep, well-defined dimples. If you’re also concerned about sagging skin or localized fat pockets, we may recommend combining Avéli® with other aesthetic treatments.
Avéli® is designed to be a single, in-office procedure. During a single procedure, your provider can identify and release the dimpled cellulite targets on both your buttocks and thighs. Unlike other cellulite treatments that require multiple visits over several weeks, Avéli® is performed in one session, with no ongoing maintenance required. However, the number of dimples treated during the procedure may depend on your anatomy and aesthetic goals.
A typical Avéli® procedure will take around an hour, including local anesthesia and the procedure itself. Exact timing will vary depending on your personalized procedure plan from your provider. You’ll be awake and comfortable during the treatment, and most patients can return home shortly after. The total appointment time may be slightly longer if multiple areas are being addressed.
Little to none. In the clinical study, most patients returned to normal activities within 24-48 hours. While you may experience mild bruising, tenderness, or swelling at the treatment site, these side effects are typically short-lived. Most patients resume light activities the next day, but following post-treatment instructions for optimal healing is best.
In the clinical study, 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. Small areas of firmness, usually not visible or painful, typically resolved in a couple of months. These side effects are considered normal with a minimally invasive procedure like Avéli®. You may also notice slight swelling or skin sensitivity in the treated area, which should gradually improve without intervention.
It is recommended to avoid any strenuous activities or workouts in the first few days/weeks after the procedure to allow the area to heal. While light walking is usually fine, more intense activity—especially exercises that impact the buttocks or thighs—should be paused until we clear you. This helps minimize swelling and ensures the treatment area heals properly.
The results of your Avéli® procedure should be visible once swelling and bruising subside. By one-month post-procedure you should start to see the effects of the procedure. Some patients may notice early improvement within a few weeks, but optimal results typically become more apparent over time as the body continues to heal and the skin settles. Results may continue to improve for up to three months.
Results may vary depending on skin type, lifestyle, and aging. Participants in the clinical study demonstrated a lasting reduction in the appearance of their cellulite when assessed one year after the procedure.
