Aveli Cellulite Treatment
Smooth, confident skin — without filters. Aveli is a minimally invasive, in-office procedure that targets the structural cause of cellulite dimples on the buttocks and thighs. One precise treatment. Real, visible smoothing.
What Is Aveli?
Aveli treats true cellulite dimples by releasing the fibrous septa (tight bands) that tether the skin down. Unlike creams or surface treatments, Aveli addresses cellulite from below the skin — the origin of the dimpling.
Good for: classic “puckering” dimples on the buttocks and thighs.
Not for: loose skin, stretch marks, or generalized fat reduction (we’ll discuss other options if those are your main concerns).
Why Patients Choose Aveli at Signature Plastics
- Single in-office session for most patients
- Targeted and precise: we identify and release each individual dimple
- Local anesthesia; procedure typically 60-90 minutes
- Minimal downtime: back to most daily activities within a day or two
- Led by Dr. Melissa Marks: Double board certified plastic surgeon, detail-oriented approach and comprehensive aftercare
How Aveli Works
- We mark each visible dimple while you’re standing.
- After numbing, a tiny incision is made to guide the Aveli device under the skin.
- Dr. Marks confirms the exact septa tethering each dimple and releases it.
- The skin springs upward, softening the dimple’s appearance.
- A small bandage closes the entry point — no stitches required.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
- Stable weight and healthy lifestyle
- Discrete dimples on the buttocks or thighs (not laxity)
- Realistic goals and time for short-term swelling/bruising
Not sure if your “dimples” are cellulite or laxity? Bring us in — Dr. Marks will differentiate and guide you to the right solution.
What to Expect
- Appointment length: about 60-90 minutes
- Anesthesia: local
- Downtime: most patients resume normal activity in 24-48 hours; bruising and tenderness can last up to 1-2 weeks
- Results: early smoothing visible as swelling subsides; continued refinement over several weeks
- Longevity: the treated septa are released; however, skin quality and aging can influence long-term appearance
Aveli vs. Other Options
- Topical creams: surface-level only; do not release septa
- Energy devices: may help tone/texture but not each tether
- Aveli: mechanically releases the septa causing true dimples
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Aveli treat skin laxity or rippling?
No — Aveli targets true dimples. For laxity or ripples, we’ll discuss skin-tightening or volume-balancing options.
Will I need more than one session?
Most patients need one treatment. If new dimples appear later or if you want additional areas addressed, touch-ups are possible.
When can I work out again?
Light activity after 24-48 hours; vigorous lower-body workouts are typically paused about one week per your aftercare plan.
Will I have scars?
Entry points are very small and usually fade well.
