Cellulite Treatment with Avéli
Targeted release of the fibrous septa that cause visible cellulite dimples.
What this procedure is
Avéli is a minimally invasive treatment that identifies and releases the fibrous septa responsible for visible cellulite dimpling on the buttocks and thighs. The procedure is performed in-office, under local anesthesia, with patients standing during mapping for accuracy.
Avéli targets the structural cause of true cellulite — fibrous septa pulling the skin downward — rather than treating the skin surface. The procedure is performed in-office with the patient marked while standing for accuracy.
Avéli is appropriate for visible dimples, not for skin laxity or volume loss. Distinguishing the two is part of the consultation.
How Dr. Gelb plans the procedure
- —Mapping of individual dimples in the standing position for accuracy.
- —Targeted, precise release of the responsible septa.
- —Single in-office procedure under local anesthesia.
Each dimple is mapped individually. Septa are identified and released under direct, targeted control, with care to preserve surrounding tissue.
The right plan is determined in consultation, based on your anatomy, history, and goals — not from a template.
Tools matched to anatomy
Technology is selected when it improves the result — never by default. Tools serve the plan.
A safety-first standard of care
- —Performed under local anesthesia in-office.
- —Honest candidacy — dimples vs. laxity vs. volume loss are distinct concerns.
Evidence-based recovery
Bruising is expected and typically resolves over weeks. Most patients return to normal activity within days. Recovery timelines and results vary. The plan, expectations, and timeline outlined here are general — your specific course is determined at consultation.
- Days 1 – 7
- Bruising expected; most return to normal activity within days.
- Weeks 2 – 6
- Bruising resolves; treated dimples improve as tissue settles.
- Months 2 – 6
- Final result reveals; released septa do not re-form, though new cellulite can develop independently.

How is Avéli different from other cellulite treatments?+
Avéli targets the underlying septa that cause dimpling — the structural cause — rather than treating the skin surface alone.
Will the dimples come back?+
Released septa do not re-form. New cellulite can develop over time, but the treated dimples are addressed at the structural cause.
