What Is Avéli®?
Avéli® is a minimally invasive, FDA-cleared procedure that directly targets and releases the fibrous bands (septa) under the skin that cause cellulite dimples. Using a precision handheld device, our skilled providers sever the exact bands creating the depressions, resulting in visibly smoother skin.
Unlike surface-level treatments, Avéli® treats cellulite at its source, delivering long-term improvement.
