Struggling with stubborn cellulite on your thighs or buttocks, even with diet and exercise? You’re not alone. Over 90% of women experience cellulite at some point, and it has nothing to do with being unfit or overweight. The good news is that Aveli is a game-changing, FDA-cleared treatment that targets the root cause of cellulite with proven, long-lasting results, often visible after just one session.
At Charlottesville Plastic Surgery, double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rhett Willis and his expert team are proud to offer Aveli, the minimally invasive treatment that delivers smoother skin without the downtime of surgery.
What Causes Cellulite and Why It’s So Hard to Get Rid Of
Cellulite isn’t just fat. It occurs when tight fibrous bands (called septa) pull down on the skin while fat pushes upward, creating the characteristic dimples and ripples. Hormonal changes, genetics, aging, and loss of skin elasticity all play a role. That’s why creams, massages, and even many laser treatments only give temporary improvement. They never address the structural bands underneath.
How Aveli Works: Precise, Proven, and Permanent
Aveli is different because it treats the actual cause of cellulite in one quick office visit under local anesthesia. Dr. Willis uses a small, handheld device to precisely identify and release the exact septa bands causing your dimples. Once released, the skin bounces back for a noticeably smoother appearance. Results are designed to be long-lasting because the treated bands stay released. Most patients see dramatic improvement in the treated areas with just one session.
What to Expect During and After Your Aveli Treatment
The procedure is a single session usually completed in under an hour. Local anesthesia keeps you comfortable throughout. Downtime is minimal, and most people return to normal activities in 24-48 hours. Mild bruising or soreness typically resolves within a week, and skin continues to smooth over the next 1-3 months as results fully develop.
