Aveli is an FDA-approved treatment designed to address cellulite. Unlike creams or temporary fixes, Aveli targets the fibrous septa beneath the skin responsible for dimples, producing smoother skin in a single in-office procedure. If you have cellulite despite exercise and a healthy lifestyle, Aveli at Advanced Cosmetic Surgery can help you achieve your cosmetic goals.
What Is Avéli Cellulite Treatment?
Aveli is a minimally invasive cellulite treatment that uses a handheld device to release the fibrous bands that cause dimpling on the thighs and buttocks. This minimally invasive procedure is performed under local anesthesia and typically takes about an hour to complete. The plastic surgery device allows your provider to manually release the fibrous bands causing cellulite, ensuring accurate and customized treatment for each patient. While cellulite is often confused with excess fat or loose skin, it is actually caused by these tight connective bands pulling the skin downward. Aveli works beneath the surface to resolve this structural issue, producing smoother skin without harming surrounding tissue.
Ideal candidates for Aveli are adults who are experiencing moderate to severe cellulite and have good skin elasticity. This treatment is not designed for fat reduction or skin tightening as other cellulite treatments. It is best suited for individuals who are near their goal weight and want to target visible cellulite that has not improved with diet or exercise. During your consultation with Dr. Young, we will assess your goals of treating cellulite, skin quality, and medical history to determine if Aveli is the right treatment for you.
Preparing for Your Aveli Treatment
Before undergoing Aveli treatment, you will meet with Dr. Young to discuss what to expect before, during, and after the procedure. You may be advised to avoid blood-thinning medications and alcohol in the days leading up to treatment to minimize the risk of bruising and ease your recovery.

The Aveli Procedure
The Aveli procedure is performed in-office under local anesthesia. After numbing the treatment area, a small device is inserted just beneath the skin through a tiny incision. The device includes a light and hook mechanism that allows Dr. Young to identify each individual septa band and release it precisely.
Each band that is released helps smooth the surface of the skin, reducing the appearance of dimples. Once all identified bands have been treated, the device is removed, and a small bandage is placed over the entry point. The entire process takes about 45 to 75 minutes to complete, depending on the size of the treatment area.
Aveli Recovery and Results
1-2 weeks
Low activity
Most patients experience mild bruising, tenderness, and swelling in the days following their Aveli procedure. These effects are temporary and can be managed with over-the-counter medication and cold compresses. You may be advised to avoid strenuous exercise and sitting or lying directly on the treated area for about one to two weeks.
You will begin to see a visible improvement in your skin’s dimpled appearance within a few weeks, with continued smoothing over the next few months as swelling subsides. Since Aveli directly targets the underlying structural cause of cellulite, the results are long-lasting and often more effective than non-invasive options.
