Avéli™ Cellulite Treatment Plastic Surgeons of Lexington

Avéli™ cellulite treatment is an innovative procedure designed to reduce the appearance of cellulite by releasing the fibrous bands that cause the dimpled appearance. (1)

Cellulite is a common skin concern, especially for women. It affects 80% to 98% of postpubescent women (2) and can be frustratingly resistant to lifestyle changes like diet and exercise. Characterized by dimples and uneven skin texture on areas like the thighs, buttocks, and abdomen, cellulite can persist regardless of how healthy or active a person is. While it is harmless, many individuals seek ways to minimize its appearance to feel more confident. As cosmetic technology has evolved, new, effective treatments have emerged to meet this demand. Avéli™ is at the forefront of this revolution.

The board-certified team at Plastic Surgeons of Lexington is proud to offer this minimally invasive cellulite reduction procedure that provides visible, lasting improvement with minimal downtime. Patients from Lexington, Cincinnati, Knoxville, and Northern Kentucky are turning to this innovative treatment to target stubborn cellulite and enjoy smoother skin.

About Avéli™ Cellulite Treatment

Avéli™ is an FDA-cleared, in-office treatment designed specifically to address cellulite by targeting its structural causes beneath the skin. (3) Unlike superficial treatments that only mask the appearance of cellulite, Avéli™ works by physically releasing the fibrous septa, or the bands of connective tissue that pull on the skin and create dimpling. By disrupting these bands in a precise and controlled way, Avéli™ smooths the skin from below, allowing the surface to appear more even.

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and does not require stitches or sedation. It is suitable for most skin types and body sizes, with results that can last for a year or more. This makes Avéli™ especially appealing to individuals who want long-lasting improvement without committing to surgery or lengthy downtime.

Benefits

There are numerous benefits associated with Avéli™ treatments, including:

  • Improved Skin Appearance: This treatment visibly reduces the dimpled appearance of cellulite, providing smoother skin.
  • Non-Surgical Procedure: Avéli™ is a minimally invasive treatment that does not require surgery or extensive downtime.
  • Quick Treatment Sessions: Each session may take only about 30 minutes, allowing for easy scheduling.
  • FDA-Cleared Device: The Avéli™ device has undergone rigorous testing to ensure safety and efficacy.
  • Long-lasting Results: Patients can enjoy lasting improvements in their skin texture with continued collagen production.
  • Minimal Recovery Time: Many patients return to normal activities shortly after treatment, making it convenient for those with busy lifestyles.
  • Enhanced Body Confidence: With improved appearance, many patients experience a boost in self-esteem and body image.

Candidates

Not everyone will be a candidate for Avéli™, but many people struggling with mild to moderate cellulite can benefit greatly from this treatment. Avéli™ is often well-suited for individuals who:

  • Are in good general health
  • Have visible cellulite dimpling on the thighs or buttocks
  • Are close to their ideal weight
  • Have realistic expectations
  • Prefer a minimally invasive approach for treating cellulite

Preparation

Preparation for Avéli™ is straightforward and typically does not require major changes to your daily routine. The Plastic Surgeons of Lexington staff may recommend a few steps to ensure optimal results:

  • Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements for one to two weeks before treatment
  • Stay hydrated and maintain a balanced, healthy diet
  • Refrain from nicotine use or alcohol consumption in the days leading up to the procedure
  • Wear loose, comfortable clothing to your appointment
  • Arrange for a ride home if needed

While the preparation process for Aveli is relatively minimal when compared to many other cosmetic treatments, following any preoperative instructions given to you by the Plastic Surgeons of Lexington staff will increase the likelihood of a successful treatment process.

Procedure

Your Avéli™ procedure will take place in a comfortable setting at Plastic Surgeons of Lexington. After cleansing and marking the treatment area, we will administer local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. A small device is then inserted just below the skin through a tiny incision, where it locates and releases the tight fibrous bands causing the dimpling.

Your provider will methodically address problematic areas, releasing the connective tissue bands one at a time for maximum precision. The procedure typically lasts between 45 minutes and one hour, depending on how many areas are being treated. Once completed, your specialist will apply bandages, and no stitches are necessary. You will be able to return home the same day.

Recovery

One of the most exciting aspects of Avéli™ is the minimal recovery period. Patients often experience mild soreness, swelling, or bruising in the treated areas. These symptoms typically resolve within a few days to a week.

Most patients return to normal activities within one to two days, although strenuous exercise should be avoided for up to two weeks or until otherwise noted. You may notice small areas of firmness or sensitivity, which should fade over time. Our team will provide thorough aftercare instructions and remain available to answer any questions after your treatment.
