Looking for a real solution to cellulite? Aveli at Luna Plastic Surgery in Atlanta targets the cause beneath the skin, not just the surface. This minimally invasive treatment smooths dimples on the thighs and buttocks in a single session, offering lasting results with little downtime and no ongoing maintenance.
What Is Aveli?
Aveli is a minimally invasive cellulite treatment that targets the structural cause of dimples in the thighs and buttocks—tight fibrous bands called septa. The provider carefully releases these bands using a specialized handheld device, allowing the skin above to smooth out naturally. This is known as mechanical subcision.
Unlike creams or massage-based treatments that work from the outside in, Aveli works from the inside out, addressing cellulite at its source. Best of all, most patients only need one session to see results that last.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Aveli?
Aveli is best suited for women who want to reduce visible cellulite dimples without surgery. You might be a good fit if you:
- Are in overall good health
- Have visible cellulite dimples on your buttocks or thighs
- Prefer a one-time, minimally invasive treatment
- Understand that Aveli targets dimples, not loose skin or fat
- Have realistic expectations about outcomes
Depending on your goals, liposuction, body contouring, or a thigh lift may be recommended to refine results further.
What to Expect During the Aveli Procedure
The process starts with a consultation to assess your goals and treatment areas. On the day of the procedure, local anesthesia is applied to keep you comfortable.
Aveli uses a slender, wand-like device that slides just beneath the skin. As the provider moves it along targeted areas, they release each septa band, like snipping tension wires below the surface. The treatment usually takes about an hour, and patients are typically awake the whole time.
You may feel some pressure or tugging, but pain is minimal, and the session is generally well tolerated.
What to Expect After the Procedure
Immediately after Aveli, the skin often looks smoother where the bands were released. For a few days, you might notice some swelling, bruising, or tenderness—these are normal and expected.
Most patients return to regular activities within 24 to 48 hours, although exercise and strenuous movement should be avoided for about one week. Compared to surgery, the downtime is significantly shorter.
Post-procedure care instructions will be reviewed with you in detail, so you’re confident in how to support your recovery.
