Cellulite affects nearly 90% of women at some point in their lives, and creams or surface-level treatments rarely deliver lasting change. Avéli® is the first and only FDA-cleared device that treats cellulite at its root cause. In a single, minimally invasive session, Dr. Steve Vu can help you achieve smoother, firmer-looking skin with results you can truly see.
How Avéli Works
Avéli uses a specialized handheld device designed to target and release the fibrous septa bands beneath the skin. These are the very structures that pull down and create the dimpled look of cellulite. By releasing them in real time, Avéli restores a more even skin surface.

Avéli Cellulite Treatment FAQs
-
Am I a Good Candidate For Avéli?
Avéli is best for women who are bothered by the appearance of cellulite dimples on the thighs or buttocks. It’s ideal if you’re at or near your goal weight, generally healthy, and want smoother skin without surgery.
-
How Soon Will I See Results?
Most patients notice a smoother appearance within days of treatment. Results improve as swelling resolves and can last up to a year.
-
Does The Procedure Hurt?
Avéli is performed under local anesthesia. You may feel pressure or mild tugging during treatment, but most patients describe the procedure as very tolerable.
-
What Is Recovery Like?
You may have mild soreness or bruising in the treatment area, but most patients return to normal activities within 24–48 hours. Exercise and strenuous activity can usually be resumed after a few days.
-
How Is Avéli Different From Creams Or Massage?
Lotions, massages, and energy devices only target the surface of the skin. Avéli is the only FDA-cleared device that treats cellulite at its root cause — the fibrous bands pulling the skin downward.
-
Can Avéli Be Combined With Other Treatments?
Yes. Dr. Vu may recommend combining Avéli with other treatments such as skin tightening or body contouring for even more comprehensive results.
-
Is Avéli Permanent?
The treated dimples are released and should not return, though new dimples may form over time as part of the natural aging process. Many patients enjoy smoother skin for a year or longer.
