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.
