Revolutionary Cellulite Solutions: Understanding Avéli® and Sculptra® Treatments
Many women and men alike dream of having smooth, dimple-free skin. Unfortunately, cellulite affects nearly 90% of women regardless of their age, weight or fitness level. At AesthetiCare, we understand the frustration cellulite can cause and proudly offer two groundbreaking treatments: Avéli® and Sculptra® to remove targeted cellulite.
Understanding Cellulite: Beyond the Surface
What is cellulite? Beneath the skin’s surface, fibrous bands called septae connect the skin to deeper tissue layers. When these bands pull down unevenly while fat cells push up, they create the characteristic dimpling we know as cellulite. This structural issue explains why even the most rigorous diet and exercise routines often fail to eliminate the effect of cellulite completely.
Avéli: Precision-Targeted Cellulite Release
Avéli uses a revolutionary approach to cellulite treatment, offering precise, targeted release of the fibrous bands causing dimples. This minimally invasive procedure directly addresses the root cause of cellulite through sophisticated subsurface technology.
During an Avéli treatment, our skilled technicians use a proprietary device to release the specific bands responsible for creating dimples. The procedure is guided by real-time confirmation, ensuring precise treatment of each dimple. This targeted approach means we can easily treat the precise bands that need to be addressed without affecting the surrounding tissue.
The beauty of Avéli lies in its immediacy and precision. Results become visible shortly after treatment as the released bands allow the skin to restore its natural smoothness. Depending on the treatment area size, the procedure takes about an hour under local anesthesia.
Most patients experience minimal downtime with Avéli, usually returning to normal activities within a few days. While some bruising and soreness are normal, these effects typically resolve within a week or two. The results are long-lasting since the procedure addresses the structural cause of cellulite rather than just masking its appearance.
Sculptra: Building Volume and Smoothness
While Avéli targets the bands pulling down on the skin, Sculptra takes a different but equally effective approach to improving the appearance of cellulite. This injectable treatment stimulates your body’s natural collagen production to gradually restore skin structure and volume.
Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible synthetic substance that triggers collagen production.
When strategically injected into cellulite-prone areas, it helps:
- Improve skin thickness and texture
- Restore lost volume beneath the skin’s surface
- Create a smoother, more even appearance
The treatment process involves a series of injection sessions spaced several weeks apart. While results aren’t immediate, they develop gradually as your body produces new collagen for several months after treatment sessions.
Your results can last for two years or longer, though individual experiences may vary. The treatment also offers the added benefit of improving overall skin quality and texture in the treated areas.
Choosing the Right Treatment for You
At AesthetiCare, we understand that each person’s cellulite concerns are unique. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate several factors to recommend the most effective treatment plan.
The severity and type of cellulite play a role in treatment selection. Avéli might be ideal for distinct dimples caused by tight bands, while Sculptra could better address areas needing volume restoration and skin quality improvement.
Your goals and timeline also influence the choice. Avéli provides more immediate results, while Sculptra offers gradual improvement with potential skin-enhancing benefits. Some clients opt for a combination of both innovative treatments to achieve a more comprehensive improvement.
The Treatment Experience
When choosing AesthetiCare for your cellulite treatment, you can expect the most professional experience. We begin with a private, detailed consultation.
During your treatments, we prioritize your comfort and safety. With Avéli, we take time to add local anesthesia to ensure a comfortable experience during the procedure. Sculptra injections are performed with precision and attention to detail, utilizing topical numbing agents to minimize any discomfort.
Maintaining Your Results
While both Avéli and Sculptra provide long-lasting improvement, maintaining your best health will extend your results. Always stay hydrated and maintain a balanced, nutrient-rich diet, supporting skin health. Consistent exercise helps maintain good circulation and healthy body composition. Be sure to protect your skin from sun exposure and follow a good skincare routine.
What to Expect During Recovery
Understanding the recovery process helps you plan your treatment timing and sets realistic expectations for your journey.
Avéli Recovery Timeline
The first 24-48 hours after Avéli treatment typically involve some swelling and tenderness in the treated areas. You might notice some bruising, which can last for 1-2 weeks. While you can return to most daily activities within a few days, be sure to avoid strenuous exercise for about a week.
Wearing compression garments can be helpful during the initial recovery period to minimize swelling and support healing. Most people feel completely back to normal within 2-3 weeks, though individual experiences may vary.
Sculptra Recovery Process
Sculptra recovery is generally milder since it’s an injectable treatment. You might experience some initial swelling, redness or tenderness at injection sites, which typically resolves within a few days. Small bumps at injection points are normal and usually disappear within a week.
A gentle massage of the treated areas following provided protocols helps ensure optimal distribution of the product and promotes even collagen stimulation. You’ll be able to safely return to normal activities immediately, though we suggest avoiding intense exercise for 24-48 hours.
Long-term Maintenance
Consider scheduling periodic maintenance treatments based on your provider’s recommendations. This proactive approach helps ensure your results last as long as possible. Regular check-ins with your AesthetiCare provider allow us to monitor your results and adjust your treatment plan.
