Avéli™ Cellulite Reduction
In Gainesville, FL
At North Florida Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics, we are excited to be among the first to offer Avéli™, a groundbreaking solution for long-term cellulite reduction.
This innovative procedure effectively targets and reduces cellulite dimples on the buttocks and thighs in a single, minimally invasive treatment. Performed by our board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Mateo, this treatment is designed to deliver meaningful and lasting results, whether on its own or combined with other procedures like liposuction, fat transfer, or a mommy makeover.
Treatment Type: Minimally invasive cellulite treatment performed with the Avéli device
Treatment Time: Typically takes about an hour
Anesthesia: Local anesthesia for comfort
Downtime: Minimal downtime with most patients returning to normal activities quickly
Results: Long-lasting improvement in cellulite dimples and skin texture
Cellulite is a depression of any shape or size with defined edges seen on the skin’s surface, typically on the buttocks or thighs.
These dimples or depressions are often caused by fibrous septa bands, which tether your skin to the surfaces below. While some septa are essential for maintaining structural support, others can stiffen or shrink over time, causing the uneven texture we refer to as cellulite.
Lifestyle choices do not cause cellulite. Instead, genetics, hormones, and aging play a significant role in its formation. You should also know that having cellulite is entirely normal — up to 90% of women have it! Additionally, it’s important to note that cellulite differs from skin laxity or localized fat, which are concerns you can discuss during a complimentary consultation with Dr. Mateo.
Avéli™ is a no-nonsense approach to treating cellulite based on a deep understanding of women’s anatomy. While many treatments approach cellulite blindly from the outside in, Avéli™ identifies and releases the primary structural cause of cellulite from the inside out in a single minimally invasive procedure with little downtime.
Dr. Mateo performs this procedure using a handheld device to manually target and release the complicated web of septa bands that cause cellulite dimples.
Avéli™ addresses the primary structural cause of cellulite in three easy steps:
Avéli Cellulite Reduction most commonly treats cellulite in specific areas like the thighs and buttocks, where connective tissue bands often create visible dimples.
These areas respond well to targeted treatment, helping patients achieve smoother skin and improved body contours.
Avéli offers several advantages for patients looking to reduce cellulite and improve skin texture without surgery.
The Avéli device treats the fibrous connective tissue bands responsible for cellulite, addressing the cause rather than only the appearance.
Many patients achieve noticeable improvement with a single procedure.
Small incisions and local anesthesia allow the treatment to be performed comfortably with minimal disruption to daily life.
Because the connective tissue bands are released, patients often experience long term improvement in cellulite dimples.
By smoothing the underlying structure of the skin, Avéli can create a more even and refined appearance.
Many patients with visible cellulite on the thighs or buttocks may be good candidates for Avéli treatment.
Ideal candidates are generally healthy individuals who maintain a healthy lifestyle but still notice cellulite that does not respond to diet or exercise.
Patients should have realistic expectations about treatment results and understand that Avéli is designed to reduce cellulite dimples rather than serve as a weight-loss procedure. A consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon at North Florida Plastic Surgery can help determine whether Avéli is the right option for your goals.
Recovery after Avéli treatment is typically straightforward for most patients.
Because the procedure is minimally invasive, downtime is minimal, and many patients return to light activities within a few days.
Some bruising, swelling, or tenderness in the treated areas is common during the early stages of healing. These effects typically improve over the following weeks as the body heals. Your surgeon will provide detailed aftercare instructions to help minimize swelling and support optimal results.
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and balanced diet can also help support the long-term appearance of smoother skin after treatment.
Many patients begin to notice improvement in cellulite dimples as swelling resolves during the first several weeks after treatment.
As the healing process continues, the skin appears smoother, and the treated areas develop more refined contours.
Because the fibrous bands responsible for cellulite have been released, results are often long-lasting. While factors such as aging, hormonal changes, and lifestyle can influence skin appearance over time, many patients enjoy lasting improvement in skin texture and overall confidence.

A typical Avéli™ procedure will only take around an hour, including local anesthesia and the procedure itself.
Nope! During a single cellulite procedure, Avéli™ can fully treat the targeted cellulite dimples on both your buttocks and thighs.
In the clinical study, the most common side effects reported were mild pain within the first 24 hours and bruising and tenderness to the touch, which typically resolve within 30 days. Small areas of firmness, usually not visible or painful, typically resolve in a couple of months.
Avéli™ cellulite reduction results should be visible once swelling and bruising subside. By one month post-procedure, you should have started to see the effects of the procedure.
It is recommended that you avoid strenuous activities or workouts in the first few days/weeks after the procedure to allow the area to heal. Following treatment, Dr. Mateo will provide complete post-procedure expectations and instructions.
Participants in the clinical study demonstrated a lasting reduction in the appearance of their cellulite when assessed one year after the procedure.
The exact cost of a cellulite reduction treatment will vary depending on factors such as the extent of the treatment area and the severity of the cellulite. Contact us today to request a consultation and learn how much an Avéli™ treatment will cost you!
