The Cause of Cellulite
While many people believe cellulite is due to weight gain and excess fat deposits under the skin, that's not the case. Cellulite occurs when fibrous bands tether your skin to the structures below, and fat cells push up against the skin, causing an uneven surface. Hormones and genetics can also play a role in the formation of cellulite.
Because cellulite isn't due to excess fat, patients often become frustrated when their weight loss efforts or liposuction treatments don't smooth their skin. Fortunately, there's a different solution: Avéli.
How Avéli Smooths Your Skin
Avéli is a minimally invasive and FDA-cleared treatment that reduces cellulite on the buttocks and thighs of adult patients. It targets the fibrous bands that cause cellulite, releasing them to smooth out the appearance of the skin.
Avéli requires just one treatment session and most procedures take under an hour to complete. Before your treatment begins, Dr. Milan Lombardi will use a local anesthetic to numb the treatment area and ensure your comfort. He will then insert the Avéli device under the skin to find and release the problematic bands causing each dimple. Dr. Lombardi can confirm the results in real time as the effects of cellulite reduction are immediate.
Combining Avéli
With Other Treatments
One of the benefits of choosing Avéli is that you can easily combine it with other treatments to enhance the tightness and texture of your skin. As part of your personalized treatment plan, Dr. Lombardi can determine if you're eligible to combine your cellulite treatment with procedures like:
- Skin resurfacing
- Collagen-boosting treatments
- Stretch mark removal
