What Is Aveli™ for Cellulite?

Cellulite can remain visible even when you exercise regularly, maintain a stable weight, and take good care of your skin. For many people, the frustration comes from seeing stubborn dimples across the thighs or buttocks that do not respond much to lifestyle changes. These depressions can develop when fibrous bands beneath the skin pull downward, creating cellulite dimples and uneven skin texture at the surface.

To address the structure contributing to these concerns, Dr. Rafi Bidros and the team at MyBodyMD in Houston, TX, offer Aveli cellulite reduction, a minimally invasive treatment that releases targeted bands beneath the skin to help create a smoother, more even-looking appearance.

How does Aveli cellulite treatment work?

Instead of treating cellulite only at the surface, Aveli cellulite reduction works beneath the skin where the structural cause of certain dimples can be addressed. During treatment, the area is marked, and local anesthetic is administered before a small handheld device is inserted beneath the skin. The device allows Dr. Bidros to identify and release the specific septa, or fibrous bands, responsible for pulling the skin downward.

This targeted approach can soften visible depressions and improve uneven skin texture without requiring more extensive surgery. Treatment can generally be completed in less than an hour.

What areas can Aveli treat?

Aveli may be particularly appealing when cellulite remains noticeable in areas that commonly develop a dimpled or uneven appearance. At MyBodyMD, treatment may be considered for concerns involving the hips, stomach, buttocks, and thighs. Common concerns that may be addressed include:

• Thigh cellulite that creates visible depressions along the upper legs
• Buttock cellulite that gives the skin a dimpled or uneven appearance
• Individual cellulite dimples caused by restrictive bands beneath the skin
• Areas where uneven texture remains noticeable despite healthy lifestyle habits

Because cellulite can develop in people across a range of body types, having it does not necessarily mean you have excess body fat. A consultation for Aveli in Houston can help determine whether the dimples you want to address are related to the fibrous septa targeted by the procedure.

Who is a good candidate for Aveli?

Aveli may be appropriate for someone who has visible cellulite dimples and wants to improve their appearance without more extensive surgery. Good candidates typically:

• Are in good overall health
• Maintain a relatively stable, healthy weight
• Have noticeable cellulite dimples caused by fibrous bands
• Want to improve areas of uneven skin texture
• Have realistic expectations about what the treatment can address

Dr. Bidros can evaluate your skin texture and the location of your cellulite to determine whether the treatment aligns with your goals. Aveli recovery is typically manageable, with many people returning to normal activities within about 24 – 48 hours. Temporary bruising, soreness, or tenderness may occur, and strenuous activity may need to be limited for the first few days.

How long do Aveli results last?

Because Aveli releases the fibrous bands responsible for specific cellulite dimples, the treatment is designed to provide lasting improvement rather than temporarily changing the skin’s surface. Results may begin to become noticeable within about a month, with the appearance of uneven skin texture continuing to improve as the treated area settles. Individual results can vary, and new cellulite may still develop in untreated areas over time. Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle can also help support your overall body contours.

Smooth the dimples that have been bothering you

Schedule a consultation to discuss your concerns, explore Aveli, and find out whether this minimally invasive treatment may help you achieve smoother, more even-looking skin.
