Cellulite affects nearly 80% to 90% of women worldwide. Avéli™ cellulite treatment is an FDA-cleared, minimally-invasive approach to cellulite dimple reduction. As with any treatment, it’s critical to consider all information and understand the pros and cons before deciding. Here are the potential benefits and considerations to take into account before using Avéli™ to treat unwanted cellulite.
Pros of Avéli™
Avéli™ cellulite treatment provides various benefits to patients, such as:
- It is a minimally invasive procedure. The Avéli™ Cellulite Treatment delivers laser energy underneath the skin, heating up and breaking apart fat cells, stimulating collagen production, and increasing blood circulation.
- It provides targeted therapy. The Avéli™ laser disrupts fibrous bands, the root cause of cellulite, to promote long-term relief from cellulite.
- It’s clinically cleared. Avéli™ is an FDA-cleared treatment for reducing cellulite in the buttocks and thighs.
- Patients achieve an enhanced appearance. In addition to cellulite reduction, patients also reported noticeable improvements in firmness, texture, and smoothness in the areas receiving treatment.
- It utilizes local anesthesia. While patients should expect some degree of discomfort following any surgical procedure, local anesthesia is used for pain management, making the experience as comfortable as possible.
Additional Considerations
Despite the many positive benefits of Avéli™ treatment, our patients at Renaissance Plastic Surgery are encouraged to consider every aspect of treatment when making an informed decision. These aspects include:
- Expense: The cost of an Avéli™ treatment may be higher than other treatments for cellulite reduction.
- Side Effects: Although typically mild, Avéli™ treatments may result in temporary discomfort, swelling, and bruising following the procedure.
- Non Permanent: Avéli™ treatments, although effective and long-lasting, are not permanent. Clinical studies show that improvements in appearance following Avéli™ treatments exist after one year, but lifestyle and genetic factors will play a role in patients’ long-term results.
- Outcomes May Vary: Because factors like age, skin type, and the severity of preexisting cellulite play a role in outcomes, individual results may vary.
