Avéli

Book Appointment

What is Avéli?

At SkinScience by Cynthia Price, MD we are proud to offer Avéli, a cutting-edge minimally invasive treatment that directly targets cellulite at its source. Unlike creams or surface treatments that only address the skin’s appearance, Avéli works beneath the surface to release the fibrous bands that cause cellulite dimples. The result is smoother skin and a long-term reduction in the appearance of cellulite in the buttocks and thighs. With Avéli, patients can enjoy real, lasting improvements in skin texture with a single in-office treatment.

How Avéli Works

Cellulite forms when fibrous bands pull the skin downward, creating dimples and uneven texture. Avéli uses a specialized hand-held device to precisely identify and release these bands through a small insertion point in the skin. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia for comfort and typically takes about an hour, depending on the size of the treatment area. Since Avéli addresses the structural cause of cellulite, results are both noticeable and long-lasting. Most patients can return to normal activities within a few days, making it a convenient option for those seeking real results without extensive downtime.

Who is a Good Candidate?

Avéli is an excellent choice for women who are bothered by cellulite dimples on the buttocks or thighs and want a proven treatment that offers lasting improvement. It is best suited for those with stable body weight who are not primarily concerned with fat reduction or skin laxity but specifically with cellulite. While mild bruising or tenderness may occur initially, these effects resolve quickly and patients are left with smoother, more even-looking skin.
