Avéli® Cellulite Treatment
Avéli® is a one-time cellulite treatment that releases fibrous bands for lasting results. Smooth, firm skin starts here.
Smooth, Long-Lasting Cellulite Reduction
Cellulite affects up to 90% of women and often appears as dimples or uneven texture on the thighs, buttocks, and hips. While it’s a completely natural part of body anatomy, many people find it frustrating and difficult to improve with diet, exercise, or topical products alone.
Avéli® is an FDA-cleared, minimally invasive treatment that directly targets the structural cause of cellulite. Supported by clinical studies showing visible improvement lasting at least 12 months, Avéli provides long-term smoothing in a single, in-office procedure.
What Is Avéli®?
Avéli is a cutting-edge device that uses Targeted Verifiable Subcision (TVS) to release the fibrous septa that tether skin down, causing dimpling. Unlike creams, massage devices, or energy treatments that offer temporary changes, Avéli treats cellulite at its source, offering lasting results after just one session.
This procedure is ideal for patients who want smoother, firmer skin with minimal downtime.
Benefits of Avéli®
Avéli® offers a science-backed approach to treating cellulite, combining precision technology with minimally invasive techniques to deliver lasting results in just one treatment.
- Clinically Proven Results – Studies show a significant, measurable reduction in cellulite severity, with improvement maintained through 1 year.
- Single Treatment – Most patients achieve desired results after one procedure.
- Minimally Invasive – Performed under local anesthesia with small entry points.
- Quick Recovery – Many patients return to normal activities in one day, with most fully recovered within a week.
- Targeted and Precise – Real-time verification ensures only the exact septa causing dimples are released.
With its proven outcomes, quick recovery, and targeted design, Avéli® provides a safe and effective solution for smoother, dimple-free skin.
How Avéli® Works
Avéli® uses an advanced, handheld device to precisely identify and release the fibrous bands beneath the skin that cause cellulite, delivering immediate, visible smoothing in a single treatment.
- Precise Mapping – Each cellulite dimple is identified, and tethering septa are located beneath the skin.
- Targeted Release – Using the Avéli handpiece, your surgeon carefully releases the septa, smoothing the skin’s surface.
- Immediate Confirmation – The treatment allows verification in real time, ensuring the dimple has been fully addressed.
The procedure typically takes about one hour, depending on the number of dimples treated. It is performed under local anesthesia in an office setting.
Ideal Candidates
Ideal candidates for Avéli are those who want to directly address cellulite dimples with a single, minimally invasive procedure that delivers long-lasting improvement.
- Women with mild to moderate cellulite on the thighs or buttocks
- Patients at a stable weight with good skin elasticity
- Those seeking long-lasting results from a single treatment
- Patients with realistic expectations (Avéli smooths dimples but is not a weight-loss or skin-tightening treatment)
If you’re looking for a proven treatment to smooth cellulite while maintaining a natural look, Avéli may be the right choice for you.

Avéli® FAQs
How much does Avéli treatment for cellulite reduction cost?
The price of Avéli varies based on the number of cellulite dimples treated and whether additional body contouring procedures are planned. A detailed quote will be provided after your consultation with Dr. Tyler Frew.
How long do results from Avéli last?
Clinical studies show visible smoothing that lasts at least 12 months. Many patients continue to see improvement beyond a year, especially if they maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.
How soon can I return to exercise or normal activities?
Most patients return to daily activities within 24 hours. Light exercise can typically resume in a few days. Dr. Frew will provide detailed guidance for a safe and comfortable recovery.
Can Avéli treat severe cellulite?
Avéli is most effective for mild to moderate cellulite. Patients with more significant skin laxity or deeper dimples may benefit from additional or combined procedures for best results.
Is Avéli safe?
Yes. Avéli has undergone rigorous testing and is FDA-cleared. In clinical studies, no device-related serious adverse events were reported. The most common effects are temporary bruising, tenderness, and mild swelling that usually resolve within a few weeks.
How is Avéli different from Cellfina, lasers, or massage devices?
Avéli uses Targeted Verifiable Subcision, allowing Dr. Frew to confirm that each fibrous septum causing dimpling is completely released. This provides lasting results in a single treatment session, unlike some other options that require multiple visits.
Does Avéli help with skin tightening or fat removal?
No. Avéli is designed to smooth cellulite dimples by releasing fibrous septa. It does not remove fat or tighten loose skin, but it can be combined with other treatments to achieve a more complete result.
Am I a candidate if I have stretch marks or loose skin?
Stretch marks or mild laxity do not prevent you from benefiting from Avéli. Dr. Frew will evaluate your skin and may suggest pairing Avéli with other body contouring procedures to address multiple concerns at once.
Will I need repeat treatments?
Most patients see their desired results with one Avéli session. Additional treatments can be performed later if new dimples appear.
