Avéli is an FDA-cleared minimally-invasive treatment that employs a handheld device. It is used to treat cellulite in the buttocks and thighs by targeting the fibrous bands in the skin that create the “dimples” associated with cellulite.
How Avéli Treats Cellulite at the Source
Unlike surface-level treatments, Avéli targets cellulite where it starts—beneath the skin. Cellulite dimples are often caused by fibrous bands pulling the skin downward. Avéli releases these bands directly during a single in-office procedure, using a precise handheld device guided by your provider in real time. This technique is clinically backed to offer smoother, visibly dimple-free skin.
What to Expect During Your Avéli Appointment
Your treatment takes place in a comfortable office setting and lasts about an hour. A local anesthetic numbs the area to ensure comfort. Your provider inserts the Avéli device under your skin through tiny incisions and releases the fibrous septa causing cellulite. Most people describe it as a tolerable and straightforward process.
How does it work?
Avéli targets and cuts connective tissue bands below the skin responsible for cellulite dimples during each session.
DOES AVÉLI REDUCE FAT?
Avéli works to improve the dimpling in the buttocks and thighs. It does not treat skin laxity or removes excess fat.
HOW MANY AVÉLI TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?
Avéli is designed to be a one-time in-office treatment to address the dimples in your buttocks and thighs to smooth the appearance of cellulite.
WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?
You will start to see results from Avéli after your treatment, but can expect some bruising and/or swelling after. Once the swelling subsides, you will see smoother skin in the treated area.
FAQs
What’s the Downtime and Aftercare Like for Avéli?
After your Avéli treatment, it’s common to experience some bruising, mild discomfort, or swelling in the treated area. Most people resume normal activities within 24 to 48 hours, though it's recommended to avoid intense lower-body exercise for about a week. You won’t need compression garments, and there's no special aftercare required beyond letting your body heal naturally.
How Long Do Results from Avéli Last?
Avéli is designed to deliver long-term results by addressing the structural causes of cellulite in a single treatment. Because it physically releases the connective bands beneath the skin that cause dimples, the improvement is expected to last—unlike surface-level treatments. While individual outcomes may vary, most people enjoy smoother skin without the need for repeated sessions.
Can Avéli Be Combined with Body Contouring Treatments?
Yes, Avéli can be combined with body contouring solutions for a more comprehensive approach. Since Avéli targets cellulite dimples, treatments that address fat reduction may work well for you to help to enhance the overall appearance of treated areas. Dr. Walden can design a plan that safely integrates more than one treatment based on your goals.

If you’re a healthy adult female with noticeable cellulite on your thighs or buttocks and want smoother skin with long-lasting results, you may be a good candidate.

What Areas Can Avéli Treat?

Is Avéli Suitable for All Skin Types and Body Shapes?
