Avéli Cellulite Treatment in Tampa FL

Avéli is FDA-cleared for the long-term reduction of cellulite in the buttocks and thighs of adult women. It works below the skin, on the bands causing the dimple.

The dimples on your buttocks and thighs are not fat, and they are not loose skin. They are tethers, fibrous bands called septa that run from the deeper tissue up to the underside of your skin and pull it down.

No cream reaches them. No amount of weight loss releases them. Massage and radiofrequency can improve the skin above them, but the tether stays where it is. That is why the dimple comes back.

How the treatment works
1. We mark you standing up. Dimples move and flatten when you lie down, so we map everyone while you are upright and can see them with us in the mirror.
2. We numb the area. Local anesthesia only. You are awake and comfortable the whole time.
3. We enter through tiny entry points. A slim device passes under the skin to the targeted band.
4. We release each band. The device cuts the septa causing that specific dimple.
5. We verify the release. This is the part that matters. The device lets your provider confirm each band is released before moving on, rather than guessing from the surface.

Your recovery
• Downtime — most patients are back to normal activities within a week. Some go back the next day.
• What you will feel — mild soreness in the first 24 hours is the most reported effect.
• What you will see — bruising and tenderness to the touch, which typically resolve within 30 days.
• Compression — we will send you home with instructions and a garment plan.

Your results
• Smoothing shows as bruising fades over the first weeks. Because the bands are released rather than temporarily softened, results have been observed through one year after a single treatment.
• Avéli treats dimples. It does not treat skin laxity, stretch marks or general crepiness — and it is not a weight loss or fat reduction treatment. If your main concern is loose skin or texture rather than distinct dimples, we will tell you that at your consult and point you to the right treatment instead.

Are you a candidate?
• Avéli is cleared for adult women with cellulite in the buttocks and thighs. You are likely a good candidate if you can point to specific dimples that you can see standing in front of a mirror, your weight has been stable, and you are in good general health.
• It is not appropriate during pregnancy or nursing, over an active skin infection in the area, or where the concern is laxity rather than dimpling.

FAQ

Q. Is it a surgery?
A. No. It is a minimally invasive in-office procedure under local anesthesia, through entry points small enough that they typically need no stitches.

Q. Does it hurt?
A. You are numbed for the treatment. Mild pain in the first 24 hours afterward is the most reported side effect.

Q. How many treatments will I need?
A. One. Avéli is designed as a single treatment, which is what separates it from the device packages that ask for six or twelve sessions.

Q. Will the dimples come back?
A. The released bands do not reattach. New dimples can form over time as your body changes, and significant weight gain can alter your result.

Q. Can I do this and alloClae together?
A. Often, yes — releasing the dimples and restoring volume address two different problems in the same area. We will sequence them properly at your consult.

Q. Is it FDA-cleared?
A. Yes. Avéli is FDA-cleared for the long-term reduction in the appearance of cellulite in the buttocks and thigh areas of adult females.
