Avéli
Advanced Cellulite Treatment for Smoother, More Confident Skin
Avéli Cellulite Treatment
With Avéli, you can finally reveal more confident, beautiful skin with long-lasting results — all in a single, minimally invasive treatment.
What Is Avéli?
Avéli™ is a breakthrough, FDA-cleared cellulite reduction treatment designed to treat the underlying cause of cellulite dimples — the fibrous bands, called septa, that pull down on the skin’s surface. Unlike lotions or energy-based devices that only treat the skin’s surface, Avéli mechanically releases these tethered bands with precision, creating smoother, firmer contours in the thighs and buttocks.
The procedure is performed in the comfort of our Buckhead Plastic Surgery office and typically takes about an hour. Avéli uses a hand-held, proprietary device to target each cellulite dimple individually, allowing Dr. Larsen to deliver customized, visible and natural-looking results in just one treatment session.
How Avéli Works
Cellulite develops when fibrous bands in the tissue layer beneath your skin pull downward, while fat cells push upward — creating that familiar dimpled effect. Avéli works by identifying and releasing those individual fibrous bands with precision.
During treatment, a small device is inserted beneath the skin through tiny entry points. Guided by touch, Dr. Larsen uses Avéli’s advanced light-assisted technology to locate each band responsible for cellulite dimples. Once identified, the device gently releases the septa tethering the skin, allowing the surface to relax and smooth out immediately.
Because Avéli addresses cellulite structurally, not superficially, it provides a more definitive and lasting improvement than creams, massages, or energy-based treatments. Each dimple is evaluated and treated in real time, ensuring accuracy and beautiful results.
Benefits of Avéli Treatment
Patients love Avéli because it delivers visible improvements after just one treatment — with minimal downtime and without surgery. Key benefits include:
- Single-session results: Most patients achieve their desired results with just one in-office procedure.
- Long-lasting smoothing: Avéli releases the actual fibrous bands that cause cellulite, so results are durable and long-term.
- Minimally invasive: Small entry points and local anesthesia mean minimal scarring and little downtime.
- Personalized precision: Dr. Larsen treats each cellulite dimple individually for a customized, natural-looking outcome.
- Confidence boost: Enjoy smoother, more youthful-looking skin that lets you feel confident in any outfit.
Avéli has been clinically proven to reduce cellulite dimpling for at least one year, with most patients maintaining results much longer.
What to Expect During Your Procedure
Your Avéli cellulite treatment is performed in our private Buckhead Plastic Surgery office suite under local anesthesia for your comfort. Dr. Larsen will first mark the areas of concern, typically the thighs or buttocks and then create a few small entry points for the Avéli device.
During the procedure, you’ll feel slight pressure as the device is guided under the skin to precisely locate and release the fibrous bands causing dimples. Once each band is released, the skin immediately begins to smooth out. The treatment usually lasts about 45–60 minutes, depending on the number of areas treated.
Afterward, you may experience mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising for a few days — all normal signs of healing. Most patients return to work and light activity within 24–48 hours, with full results visible in just a few weeks as the tissue settles and smooths.
Recovery & Results
One of the reasons patients choose Avéli is because it offers transformative results with minimal recovery time. You may notice improvement in the treated areas almost immediately and your results will continue to refine over the next few months as the tissue fully heals and the skin’s natural structure resets.
Temporary side effects such as mild bruising, tenderness, or swelling typically resolve within one to two weeks. Most patients see their final results around three months post-treatment — revealing visibly smoother skin and a more even surface texture.
Avéli results are long-lasting because the fibrous bands that were released do not reform. With a stable weight and healthy lifestyle, your smoother contours can last for years.
Ideal Candidates for Avéli™
You may be a great candidate for Avéli if you:
- Are in good overall health and close to your ideal body weight
- Have mild to moderate cellulite dimples on your thighs or buttocks
- Are looking for a single, minimally invasive solution
- Have realistic expectations about smoothness improvement
It’s important to note that Avéli targets true cellulite dimpling, not skin laxity or fat deposits. Dr. Larsen may recommend combining Avéli with other body contouring or skin tightening treatments to achieve the most comprehensive results.
Frequently Asked Questions

How soon will I see results?
