Are you tired of feeling self-conscious about the cellulite dimples on your thighs, buttocks, or stomach? Have you tried just about everything you can for cellulite reduction, but nothing works?
It’s important to distinguish cellulite from other concerns like loose skin or localized fat. Cellulite is an extremely common issue, affecting more than 80% of women after puberty. It is also notoriously stubborn to resolve because it is largely beyond your control.
Enter Aveli! The new minimally invasive treatment for cellulite that is making waves in the world of cosmetic surgery.
What exactly is Aveli Cellulite Treatment and why is it so revolutionary?
Avéli is the latest advancement in combatting cellulite. It is a minimally invasive, once-off cosmetic procedure used to reduce the appearance of cellulite dimples on the skin. It works by using a handheld avéli device to manually cut the connective tissue bands that pull on the skin and cause the appearance of cellulite. Avéli is suitable for women across the full cellulite severity spectrum.
In this article, we explain everything you need to know about Aveli cellulite treatment, including how it works, its benefits, long-term results, rehabilitation, and costs.
What is Cellulite?
Cellulite is the name given to a dimpled or lumpy appearance of skin, particularly on the thighs, buttocks, hips, and abdomen. It is caused by collections of fat that push against connective tissues (septa) beneath your skin surface and call cellulite.
These septa can become rigid and inflexible, trapping pockets of fat beneath them. This then causes the uneven texture, which we see as cellulite. Cellulite is often described as having a “cottage cheese” or “orange peel” texture.
Cellulite is more common in women than men, especially after puberty when hormone levels change. Between 80% and 90% of women who have gone through puberty have cellulite, whereas it affects less than 10% of men.
Although it’s not dangerous, many people find it unattractive and feel self-conscious, and therefore seek treatment options for reducing its appearance.
The Causes of Cellulite
It is important to understand that cellulite is not fat itself, but rather it is the appearance of depressions in the skin due to the stiffening and/or shrinking of some septa. That said, excess fat stored in the cells can exacerbate the appearance of cellulite if it is present and is therefore connected.
Several factors are thought to contribute to the development of cellulite and exacerbate its appearance, including:
- Genetics: Genetic predisposition plays an important role in determining whether someone will develop cellulite. People with family members who have had cellulite are more likely to experience it themselves than those without any history of this condition.
- Connective Tissue Structure: The way connective tissue is arranged beneath the skin can affect the visibility of cellulite.
- Lifestyle: Lifestyle choices like poor diet, lack of exercise, and smoking can influence how much fat your body stores in its cells and thereby increase the risk of developing cellulite.
- Hormones: Hormonal fluctuations, such as those associated with puberty, pregnancy, and menopause, also play a part in cellulite formation. Hormones such as estrogen and insulin are thought to play a role in the development of cellulite. This would explain why women tend to be more prone to cellulite as their bodies produce higher levels of estrogen.
- Age: As people age, their skin loses elasticity and becomes thinner, making cellulite more noticeable.
- Weight and Fat Distribution: While cellulite can affect people of all body types, excess body fat can exacerbate its appearance.
What Is Aveli and How Does It Work?
Aveli cellulite treatment is an innovative and revolutionary treatment that uses advanced technology to reduce the appearance of cellulite. It is the first and only cellulite treatment that directly targets and releases the septa bands that cause cellulite dimples.
It provides immediate confirmation of release of the septa by the surgeon performing the procedure. Furthermore, it is a minimally invasive procedure, requires only local anesthetic, can be performed in a single in-office visit, and delivers long-lasting results. This method has been praised as one of the most effective techniques available today, and the results speak for themselves.
During an Aveli cellulite treatment procedure, the surgeon uses a handheld device to mechanically cut the cellulite-causing septa (connective tissue bands) beneath the skin. These are the tissue bands which have become rigid, pulling down on the skin’s surface and thereby causing the appearance of cellulite dimples. This effectively and immediately releases tension below the skin and results in a smoother skin surface.
It is important to note that Avéli cellulite treatment only treats targeted cellulite dimples. It does not address skin laxity, excess fat, or other issues often experienced alongside cellulite. There are other effective cosmetic procedures for treating these associated concerns.
Benefits of Avéli Cellulite Treatment
Aveli offers several advantages over existing cellulite treatments:
- It works! Aveli is one of the only cellulite treatments which has been shown to really work at reducing the appearance of cellulite. All results are easily visible and confirmable. It works by addressing the root cause of cellulite. Many other treatments approach cellulite blindly from the outside-in, but Avéli precisely identifies and releases the primary structural cause of cellulite from the inside-out in this single minimally-invasive procedure with little downtime
- Immediate results: By directly and manually targeting the individual septa bands which are responsible for causing cellulite, Aveli provides immediate results which can be affirmed by the physician.
- Non-invasive: Aveli is non-invasive, targeting only the superficial layer beneath the surface skin, and minimizing impact to surrounding tissue. This results in minimal discomfort, a quick and simple procedure, and reduced recovery time.
- Long-lasting improvement: Aveli is designed to be a long-lasting solution to cellulite, achievable in a single procedure without the need for follow-up applications. After the treatment, you can expect to achieve visibly smoother skin with reduced cellulite dimples.
Long-Term Results of Aveli
In just one treatment session, Aveli significantly reduces the appearance of cellulite. By precisely targeting and releasing the septa bands, it works to give the skin a lasting smoother and more toned appearance.
Results will become visible once the swelling and bruising subsides, which usually takes a few weeks after the treatment. The results are expected to be long-lasting, with a single treatment sufficient to create long-term improvement. Additional treatments can of course serve to further reduce cellulite and enhance the overall results.
Recovery Process after Aveli Treatment
Due to its minimally invasive nature, the recuperation after an Avéli treatment is straightforward with little downtime. However, the treatment does involve manipulating and severing tissue beneath the skin, so some mld pain, bruising and swelling is expected after the procedure.
These side effects can usually be managed with over-the-counter painkillers and anti-inflammatories, which your doctor will prescribe. Most of the discomfort passes after the first few days, but some residual bruising and tenderness may continue for up to a month. Once this subsides, your final results will start to reveal themselves.
It is advisable to avoid strenuous activities and lower body exercises for the first few days or weeks after the procedure. Most patients can resume their normal day-to-day activities within a few days and see visible improvement in their skin’s appearance within a couple of weeks.
Aveli cellulite reduction offers a convenient and effective solution for women looking to address cellulite while minimizing disruption to their daily lives.
