Avéli is an advanced cellulite reduction procedure that combines precision, comfort, and long-term benefits to help women achieve firmer, smoother skin with reduced dimples.

Avéli is a single-session medical procedure that treats cellulite dimples by targeting their root cause: tight connective tissue bands underneath your skin. At Spa26, you’ll be in the care of board-certified professionals who specialize in medically proven aesthetic procedures that deliver real results. Additionally, we’re a woman-only facility, meaning we understand the concerns women have about their bodies because we live them too.

Most patients see results with just one treatment.

Performed in-office with local anesthesia.

Releases fibrous bands beneath the skin’s surface that create cellulite dimples.

Most patients resume normal activities in 1–2 days.

Smoother skin and reduced appearance of cellulite that continues improving for months.
Avéli is a minimally invasive cellulite reduction treatment that targets the fibrous bands beneath your skin, resulting in the long-term reduction of cellulite dimples, especially around the buttocks and thighs.
Unlike other treatments that remain at the surface, Avéli goes under your skin to target the major cause of cellulite: tight, fibrous bands called septae. Septae pull down on your skin, creating the dimpled and uneven look we see on the surface. Using a technique called subcision, your provider will use the Avéli device to identify and release those bands during the procedure, resulting in visible cellulite reduction.
For most people, it’s a one-time treatment, making it a simple and effective way to say goodbye to your cellulite without maintenance.

Avéli is great for managing cellulite, but it can’t shrink fat cells or tighten lax skin. Fortunately, it can be paired with other treatments to address other concerns alongside cellulite. If you’ve noticed some laxity in your skin, it makes sense to combine Avéli with a skin-tightening treatment like Pelleve.
If your goal is to sculpt your body instead, Avéli can be part of a larger treatment plan alongside non-invasive body contouring options like CoolSculpting. Your provider can help you decide which treatment combination is best for you based on your skin, body, and goals.
If you’re thinking about Avéli to reduce your cellulite, you can expect a simple, outpatient procedure designed to be fast, comfortable, and efficient. The treatment focuses on delivering instant results within a short time so that you can get back into your routine without putting your life on pause.
Your journey starts with your consultation, where you and your provider will discuss your goals and how Avéli can help you achieve those goals. As you get close to your appointment, you should avoid anti-inflammatory medications, such as ibuprofen, as well as alcohol and caffeine. Staying hydrated is equally important, and wearing loose clothes can keep things comfortable after your procedure.
On the day of your procedure, your provider will map out the areas for treatment and apply a local anesthetic to keep you comfortable from start to finish.
The treatment is performed in-office and only takes about 60 minutes. You’ll be conscious the whole time, and thanks to the anesthesia, you won’t feel a thing. A tiny needle-sized opening is made in the skin to insert the Avéli device beneath the surface and release the septae that cause cellulite dimpling. The opening is so minimal that stitches are not required, and it typically heals quickly with little to no visible mark. One thing about Avéli that makes it stand out is that you can confirm immediately that the procedure is working. What this means is that you can confirm on the spot that the fibrous bands causing your cellulite have been released.
Symptoms like mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness are common and usually fade away within a couple of days or weeks for some patients. Most patients are back to their usual routine in a day or two, though your provider may advise you to avoid some stressful exercises for a few days.
While you may see a visible reduction in your cellulite after the treatment, results become more noticeable after about a month. The results will keep improving over the next three to six months. For the best results, stick to your doctor’s aftercare instructions.
Avéli cellulite reduction is performed on the thighs and buttocks, where cellulite is most common. By targeting these areas, the treatment eliminates unsightly dimples at their source, helping women achieve smoother, more even-looking skin.


Unlike most treatments, Avéli targets the root cause of cellulite. By releasing the fibrous bands, called septae, that create visible dimpling on the skin, this treatment provides long-lasting results. The Avéli device makes it possible for your provider to see what bands need to be treated, so nothing is left to chance. The entire procedure takes place in-office and usually lasts about an hour. It requires only local anesthesia, meaning you’ll be awake and comfortable the whole time, with minimal downtime afterward.

Your Spa26 provider will learn about your goals and assess potential treatment areas to ensure that Avéli is right for you.

Many patients see visible cellulite reduction right after their Avéli cellulite procedure, with results becoming more noticeable in about a month. Because Avéli directly treats the fibrous bands beneath the skin, results typically last a year or longer. Clinical studies show that treated bands do not return, although the body may form new septae over time due to natural aging. With only one session required for most patients, Avéli delivers long-term benefits, helping you enjoy smoother skin and renewed confidence.

Avéli is one of the best procedures in the industry for treating cellulite, but it’s not the only one available. Other treatment options like Cellfina, Qwo, Cellulaze, and even topical creams are also effective in managing this condition.
Cellfina and Avéli both target the fibrous septae that cause cellulite, but Cellfina’s treatment duration time and recovery period are much longer than Avéli. Plus, it takes longer for you to see visible results from the procedure.
Qwo is another minimally invasive treatment that uses injections filled with collagenase to break down cellulite.
Cellulaze is a laser treatment that gets rid of cellulite by melting fat and stimulating collagen production. It’s more invasive than Avéli and more expensive, too.
Cellulite creams containing ingredients like retinol can improve the skin’s texture. They’re easily accessible, but the results are temporary because they do not address the root cause of your cellulite.
The average range for Avéli is $3,000 – $7,000 per session, and one session is usually all you’ll need to get your desired results. The price variance is caused by factors like the size of the treatment area, your provider’s qualifications, and even your clinic’s location. While this procedure is not covered by insurance, some providers offer financing options like payment plans to make the treatment more accessible. Learn about our flexible payment options by asking our team.
The most common side effects of Avéli are tenderness, swelling, and bruising. Some patients also report feeling some mild pain during the first 24 hours after their treatment. Usually, any bruising subsides within a few days. Potential complications include scarring, nerve irritation, and infection, but these are extremely rare. These side effects can be managed with simple steps like choosing a qualified practitioner and following your health provider’s aftercare advice. Licensed professionals are in the best position to minimize the risk of something going wrong. Plus, adhering to your post-care treatment can enhance your recovery.
Avéli results usually last up to a year or more. Using the handheld Avéli device, your provider can treat the targeted cellulite dimples by releasing the fibrous bands underneath the skin.
Yes, it can. As you age, it’s possible for your body to form new fibrous bands, which can cause your cellulite to come back. Weight fluctuations and lifestyle changes can also contribute to the development of new cellulite.
No, it is not. The procedure is minimally invasive and performed with local anesthesia. Most patients describe the sensation as mildly uncomfortable and experience some tenderness after the procedure.
Unlike other cellulite treatments that require multiple sessions, Avéli is an in-office procedure that typically requires just one visit to produce visibly smoother skin.
