Say Goodbye to Cellulite: How Aveli® Works

Hi, I’m Dr. Aimé, a plastic surgeon based in Scottsdale, Arizona. Today, I want to introduce you to Aveli®, a newer, minimally invasive device that targets and treats cellulite at its root cause—with results that patients are loving.
What Is Aveli?
Aveli is an innovative treatment designed specifically to reduce the appearance of cellulite—those dimples that commonly show up on the buttocks and thighs. While cellulite is completely normal (and incredibly common), many patients are bothered by it and want a reliable solution. That’s where Aveli comes in.
How Does Aveli Work?
The Aveli device uses a small light to help guide me as I work just beneath the skin’s surface. The real magic happens thanks to a tiny hook and a micro-blade within the device. Here’s how it works:
- Locating the Cellulite Bands: The built-in light lets me see exactly where the fibrous bands are located under your skin.
- Hooking the Bands: A small hook is deployed to gently catch one of the bands causing the dimpled appearance.
- Releasing the Bands: Once the band is secured, I activate a tiny blade to release it—effectively “cutting” the tension that causes the skin to dimple. Think of these bands like parachute cords tugging downward on the skin. By releasing them, the skin can smooth out.
This process is repeated to address each individual cellulite band in the treatment area, whether that’s the buttocks, outer thighs, or both.
What Is the Procedure Like?
Aveli is performed in-office under local anesthesia, so there’s no need for general anesthesia or sedation. The treatment is efficient, and some patients even feel comfortable driving themselves home afterward.
Why Choose Aveli?
- Minimally invasive
- Targeted, one-time treatment
- In-office convenience
- No recurring treatments needed for the same dimples
- Smooth, natural-looking results
If you’ve tried creams, massages, or radiofrequency without meaningful improvement, Aveli may be the solution you’ve been waiting for. It treats the underlying cause of cellulite—not just the surface.
