Avéli
Say Goodbye to Cellulite Dimples
Avéli™ is the no-nonsense approach to treating cellulite based on a deep understanding of a woman’s anatomy. Let’s precisely target and eliminate those unsightly bumps on your legs and back end.
While most treatments approach cellulite blindly from the outside in, Avéli identifies and releases septa bands, the primary structural cause of cellulite, from the inside out in a single minimally invasive procedure. During your initial consultation at our Kansas City or Liberty office, we will evaluate your skin and determine if Avéli is right for you.

What is Cellulite?
Cellulite is a common skin appearance that affects up to 90% of women at some point in their lives. It appears dimpled or bumpy skin, often described as cottage cheese texture. Cellulite most commonly develops on the buttocks and thighs but can also occur on the stomach, arms and other areas.
Despite its prevalence, there are many misconceptions about what causes cellulite.
Contrary to popular belief, cellulite is not a result of being overweight or having poor diet and exercise habits. While these factors can certainly exacerbate the appearance of cellulite, its primary cause lies in the skin’s structure and underlying connective tissue.
What Are Septa Bands?
Beneath your skin’s surface is a network of fibrous connective bands called septa. These septa bands help anchor the skin to the muscle and provide structural support. In women, these bands tend to run vertically, perpendicular to the skin’s surface.
Because of hormonal changes, genetics and aging, some of these septa bands can become rigid and inflexible. When this happens, they pull down on the skin above, creating a dimpled or puckered appearance – what we know as cellulite.
At the same time, fat cells between the skin and muscle can enlarge and push upward against the taut septa bands. This combination of downward pulling and upward pushing creates the characteristic “orange peel” texture of cellulite.
Common Cellulite Misconceptions
One of the most pervasive myths about cellulite is that it only affects overweight or unhealthy individuals. In reality, cellulite can develop in people of all shapes and sizes. Even those who are thin and fit can struggle with cellulite due to the structural nature of its cause.
Another misconception is that cellulite is purely a cosmetic issue with no underlying physiological cause. We now understand that cellulite is a complex condition involving skin, fat and connective tissue interaction. It’s not just a superficial problem that can be solved with topical creams or lotions alone.
Finally, many people believe that cellulite is something to be ashamed of or embarrassed about. However, it’s essential to recognize that cellulite is an entirely regular and natural occurrence in women’s bodies. With treatments like Avéli that address the root cause of cellulite dimples, you can achieve smoother, more even skin without shame or judgment.
How Does Avéli Work?
Avéli addresses the structural cause of cellulite in three simple steps:
- The Avéli device is guided under the skin directly onto the targeted dimples.
- Those bands are precisely released after identifying the culprit septa bands causing a dimple.
- Experience their release in real-time, delivering visibly smoother skin quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Am I a good candidate for Avéli?
Avéli can benefit a wide range of adult women with cellulite on their buttocks and thighs. Ideal candidates have good overall health, are close to their goal weight and have realistic expectations. The best way to determine if you’re a good candidate is to schedule a consultation with one of our providers.
How many Avéli treatments will I need?
Most patients achieve their desired results after a single Avéli treatment. The number of dimples treated per session will depend on your individual concerns and goals. At your personalized consultation, we’ll help develop a treatment plan tailored to your specific goals.
Is Avéli painful?
To keep you as comfortable as possible, we numb the treatment area with local anesthesia before beginning the Avéli procedure. Most patients report feeling only mild discomfort, if any, during the treatment. After the numbness wears off, you may experience some soreness, tenderness and bruising, but these side effects typically resolve within a few days to weeks.
How much does Avéli cost?
The cost of Avéli depends on the number of areas treated and your specific treatment plan, which we can detail during your consultation. AesthetiCare Medspa can point you to flexible financing options to help make your cellulite reduction goals more affordable.
How long do Avéli results last?
In the clinical study, Avéli patients maintained visible improvements in their cellulite for at least a year after treatment. While individual results may vary, clinical results and our experiences have shown that smoother skin lasts a year or longer with a healthy lifestyle and stable weight. Remember, follow-up treatments may be recommended to optimize your long-term results.
