If you’re bothered by stubborn cellulite on your thighs or buttocks — Avéli™ targets the root cause of cellulite: the fibrous bands beneath the skin that pull down and create dimples. Using a precision-guided, minimally invasive device, Dr. Gerald Minniti performs Avéli treatments at his Beverly Hills clinic with real-time confirmation of results. Avéli is fast, effective, and designed for long-term improvement.
Who Can Benefit from Avéli?
Up to 90% of women experience cellulite that doesn’t improve with diet or exercise. Most treatments only address the surface. Avéli™ is different. You may be a candidate for this advanced cellulite treatment if:
- You have visible cellulite dimples on the thighs or buttocks
- You want a one-time, in-office treatment
- You are not looking to treat skin laxity or fat pockets
- You are in good overall health and have realistic expectations
Dr. Minniti will evaluate your skin and goals during your consultation to determine if Avéli is right for you.
What Are the Benefits of Avéli Cellulite Treatment?
Cellulite occurs when tight fibrous septa pull the skin down over pockets of fat, causing a dimpled look. Avéli addresses this issue at its source, offering:
- Precise Results: Directly targets and releases the septa causing dimples
- Long-Lasting Improvement: Clinical studies show results lasting at least one year
- Minimally Invasive Care: Local anesthesia, no incisions, and a quick return to normal activity
- Customized Treatment: Tailored to your body for smoother skin where you want it
What to Expect During and After Your Avéli Treatment
The Avéli procedure is typically completed in under an hour:
- Consultation: Dr. Minniti assesses your goals and marks the treatment areas
- Procedure: After local anesthesia, a specialized handheld device is used to locate and release each band beneath the skin
- Recovery: Most patients return to normal activities within 24–48 hours. Bruising or tenderness may last for several days
Avéli™ vs. Cellfina®: What Sets Them Apart?
| Feature | Avéli™ | Cellfina® |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanism | Releases individual cellulite bands in real time using a handheld, guided device | Uses a microblade to cut bands beneath the skin, no real-time confirmation |
| Sessions | One-time in-office procedure | Typically one session |
| Downtime | Minimal. Many return to activities in 24–48 hours | Moderate. Compression garments often needed for up to 2 weeks |
| Results | Lasting improvement shown in clinical studies at one year | FDA-cleared for up to 5 years of improvement |
Both work, but Avéli allows real-time confirmation and a more customized approach.
