Treating cellulite can be frustrating, time-consuming, and disappointing. That is why we are excited to offer Aveli, the newest and most effective solution for cellulite. Jack Zamora MD Cosmetic Surgery and Aesthetics is one of the first practices in Denver to offer Avéli for the treatment of cellulite. Avéli is FDA-approved and provides a lasting reduction in cellulite on the thighs, hips, and buttocks in a single session. This minimally invasive procedure takes about an hour, has little to no downtime, is an easy recovery, and results can be seen about a month later.

What is the Avéli Cellulite Treatment?

Cellulite is caused when some of the subdermal bands of connective tissue or septa tether and cause tension on the skin’s surface, creating a depression or a lumpy “cottage cheese” or “orange peel” appearance. Avéli works by precisely cutting those septa bands, allowing the skin to smooth itself from the inside out.

The Avéli procedure is performed using a sophisticated handheld device to manually target and subcise or cut the complicated web of septa bands causing cellulite dimples. The Avéli device features a light, a hook, and a tiny blade. The light illuminates the skin from underneath, showing the proper depth in which the fibrous bands are found. The hook catches on one band at a time. When the dimpled band is hooked, it can then be cut quickly with a tiny blade that protracts with the push of a button. The blade retracts back into the device, and the hook is moved across the area to confirm that the skin has been released from the septa. Avéli is the first and only device to offer real-time verification in treating cellulite.

Preparation Information

Our Jack Zamora MD Cosmetic Surgery and Aesthetics team will assist you with all the information you need for exceptional results with your Avéli procedure. Dr. Zamora or Dr. Kober will address your concerns ahead of time and discuss your desired results. Before your procedure, Dr. Zamora and Dr. Kober recommend you discontinue using products containing aspirin, garlic, ginseng, green tea and vitamin E for two weeks, as they may increase the risk of bruising.

Procedure Information

Avéli is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure performed at our Cherry Creek North surgery suite. It is convenient and comfortable, and most patients return to normal activities within 24-48 hours. When you arrive for your procedure, Dr. Kober or Dr. Zamora will review your procedure plan, take photos, and mark the dimples to be treated. You will be given a local anesthetic in the treatment area, which can be the most uncomfortable part of the process. Once you are numb, Dr. Kober or Dr. Zamora will make small incisions to insert the device under the skin to locate and cut the connective tissue bands causing the cellulite dimples. Avéli allows Dr. Kober or Dr. Zamora to verify the release of each dimple, confirming your results in real-time. Your incisions will be covered with an absorbent dressing, no sutures are needed, and you can drive yourself home.

Post Treatment Information

You can return to most of your normal activities after your Avéli procedure but refrain from vigorous physical exercise for about two weeks. You’ll have some light to moderate bruising, swelling and numbness in your treatment areas and may feel temporary tenderness or pressure when sitting or lying down. In some cases, clear or pink fluid may leak from insertion points for a day or two. We recommend wearing compressive clothing like yoga pants as much as possible during the first two weeks. The treated area may feel a bit tight or sore after the procedure, and any discomfort can be treated with over-the-counter Tylenol. However, if your pain is unbearable, please call our office immediately. Initial swelling and bruising can take one to two weeks to resolve, and while initial results are immediate, the final result is typically seen about a month later.
