Avéli™ is a minimally invasive, FDA-cleared treatment designed to reduce the appearance of cellulite by targeting the fibrous bands that cause skin dimpling. If you’re considering Avéli, it’s helpful to know what to expect during and after the procedure to feel confident and prepared. Female board certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Monica Wentworth provides Aveli to patients in Webster, TX and surrounding areas.
What Is Avéli?
Avéli uses a handheld device to precisely locate and release the fibrous septa beneath the skin that cause visible cellulite dimples. This treatment is performed in-office by a trained provider and typically takes about an hour.
During the Procedure
– Preparation: You’ll receive local anesthesia to numb the treatment area, usually the buttocks or thighs.
– Treatment: The provider will use the Avéli device to access and release the fibrous bands through a small incision.
– Sensation: Most patients describe minimal discomfort thanks to the local anesthetic.
– Duration: The session lasts about 60 minutes, depending on the number of areas treated.
Immediately After the Procedure
– Mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness is common and expected.
– You can walk and resume light activity immediately, but strenuous workouts should be avoided for a few days.
– Over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen can help manage discomfort.
Recovery and Results
– Most patients return to work within 1–2 days.
– Bruising may last 1–2 weeks, but the treatment area typically heals quickly.
– Early results are visible as swelling subsides, with continued improvement over the next few months.
– Because Avéli treats the structural cause of cellulite, results are long-lasting.
Avéli is a safe, effective solution for women seeking a single-session, minimally invasive approach to treating cellulite. With minimal downtime and durable results, it’s a leading choice in modern cellulite treatment options.
