Does Aveli involve cutting?

Aveli does not involve traditional surgery or general anesthesia. It uses a slender device inserted through tiny entry points to release the cellulite-causing bands beneath the skin. These small openings are carefully placed and typically heal quickly.

Are there any side effects to Aveli?

The most common side effects are soreness, tenderness, firmness, and bruising in the treated areas. These are usually mild to moderate and resolve over several days to a couple of weeks as tissues settle.

Will I need to take time off?

Aveli treatments are quick and require relatively little downtime. Many patients resume normal activities within about a day or two; however, some may prefer a short break from strenuous exercise or tight clothing while soreness resolves. Your provider will give personalized recommendations.

How much does Aveli cellulite treatment cost?

Aveli pricing will vary based on the number and location of the dimples treated. A personalized treatment plan and exact quote will be provided at your consultation, so you know what to expect before scheduling.

Treatment overview

Aveli uses a small, specialized, handheld device inserted through tiny openings in the skin to precisely target the septa (fibrous bands) that create cellulite dimples.

With gentle suction and controlled tension, your provider can confirm which bands are responsible for creating cellulite and selectively release them. This real-time feedback is what sets Aveli apart, helping avoid over- or under-treatment. Once those bands are released, the underlying skin can smooth, creating a more even surface with just a single in-office procedure.

Conditions

^{Aveli addresses…}

Aveli is used strictly to treat cellulite, specifically the true dimpling seen on the skin's surface. It is not a treatment for loose skin or general fat, but it can be an excellent complement to body contouring for carefully selected patients.

The Comparison

Aveli vs. Cellfina: Experience the Difference

While Cellfina was an important first step in minimally invasive cellulite release, Aveli represents the next generation. Both treatments address fibrous septa under the skin, but Aveli’s device allows your provider to feel the tension and confirm each individual band before releasing it, all in one pass. This means more precise treatment, fewer unnecessary releases, and streamlined sessions with results you can trust. At RL Center for Cosmetic Surgery & Medspa, we now recommend Aveli as our preferred cellulite technology for eligible patients seeking reliable, single-visit improvement.

How it Works

The Consultation

At RL Center for Cosmetic Surgery & Medspa, each initial patient consultation is different.

At RL Center for Cosmetic Surgery & Medspa, each initial patient consultation is different. Depending on your needs, desired treatments, areas of concern, and who you are as a patient, we will schedule you with an actual treatment provider to discuss your goals, budget, and more. During this appointment, we will review before and after photos and your medical history and answer any questions you may have. Only then can we make a recommendation for which procedures or treatments may be right for you and why.

We will be sure to educate you on how the treatments work, including what to expect during and afterward. A typical consultation lasts about 40 minutes and is free for all aesthetic treatments, including Aveli. At the end of your consultation, you will leave our office in Vernon Hills with a thorough, personalized treatment plan. When you’re ready, we’ll schedule your first treatment session.

Your Aveli® Procedure

As with any procedure, we start your Aveli treatment by ensuring your comfort in a clean, private, and comfortable treatment room.

Our expert providers will then mark the target dimples, cleanse the area, and administer a local numbing agent. Through tiny entry points, the Aveli device is guided just beneath the skin. Using gentle suction and controlled tension, your provider identifies the exact fibrous bands causing each dimple and releases them one by one. The entire procedure usually lasts anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour. Most patients feel pressure and movement but minimal discomfort due to effective numbing. Small access points are discreetly placed and require minimal aftercare.

The Recovery

Following your Aveli appointment, many patients can resume light, normal social activities shortly afterward.

However, it may be beneficial to take it easy for at least 24–48 hours, as mild tenderness, soreness, or bruising are common side effects. These effects typically subside within several days to about a week. Some temporary fullness or lumpiness can occur as tissue settles. Patients may begin noticing smoother-looking skin within days to weeks as swelling decreases. Assuming reasonable diet and exercise habits, Aveli results can be long-lasting, with treated dimples showing durable improvement over time.
