New Avéli® Cellulite Treatment

Learn the Basics About Cellulite and How Avéli® Works

Cellulite is incredibly common and notoriously difficult to treat. If you’ve tried creams, massages, or at-home devices with little to no improvement, you’re not alone. The truth is that most cellulite treatments don’t work because they don’t address the real cause of cellulite.

Epiphany Dermatology is excited to offer Avéli® Cellulite Treatment, an FDA-cleared, minimally invasive procedure that targets cellulite at its source for long-lasting results.

What Causes Cellulite?

Cellulite isn’t caused by weight, diet, or lack of exercise alone. In fact, even very fit individuals can have cellulite.

The primary cause of cellulite is fibrous septa bands that are strong connective tissue bands beneath the skin that tether the skin downward. As fat pushes upward against these tight bands, it creates the characteristic dimples and uneven texture, most commonly on the thighs and buttocks.

Lotions, wraps, and surface-level treatments often fail because they don’t reach or release the septa bands causing the dimpling.

Why Most Cellulite Treatments Don’t Work

Many products and procedures claim to reduce cellulite, but most offer only temporary smoothing, or no visible change at all. Treatments that don’t directly target the septa bands cannot truly correct the structural issue causing cellulite.

Real, lasting cellulite reduction requires releasing those bands.

How Avéli® Works

Avéli® is different. It’s the first FDA-cleared, one-time cellulite treatment that allows Dr. Tull to identify and release the exact septa bands responsible for each dimple, all in a single procedure.

During the Avéli® treatment:

  • Our providers will precisely locate the septa bands causing visible dimples
  • The bands are gently released beneath the skin
  • The skin surface smooths as tension is relieved

Because Avéli® treats the structural cause of cellulite, results are long-lasting and don’t require repeat sessions or ongoing maintenance treatments.

What Areas Can Be Treated?

Avéli® is FDA-cleared for the treatment of cellulite on:

  • Thighs
  • Buttocks

These are the most common and stubborn areas affected by cellulite, and where Avéli® delivers the most noticeable improvement.

Benefits of Avéli® Cellulite Treatment

  • One-time, in-office procedure
  • FDA-cleared and clinically proven
  • Targets the root cause of cellulite
  • Long-lasting improvement
  • Minimally invasive with minimal downtime

Most patients return to normal activities quickly, making Avéli® a convenient option for those seeking real results without extensive recovery.

Is Avéli® Right for You?

If you’re frustrated by dimpled skin on your thighs or buttocks and want a solution that actually works, Avéli® may be an excellent option. Ideal candidates are individuals who:

  • Have visible cellulite dimples
  • Are bothered by skin texture rather than skin laxity
  • Want a one-time, long-term solution

Avéli® Cellulite Treatment FAQs

Will I need multiple sessions?

No. Avéli® is designed to be a single, in-office procedure. During one treatment, your provider can fully address the targeted cellulite dimples on both the thighs and buttocks. Because Avéli® releases the septa bands causing cellulite, results are durable and long-lasting, without the need for repeat sessions.

How long does an Avéli® procedure take?

A typical Avéli® procedure takes about one hour, which includes local anesthesia and the treatment itself. The exact duration may vary depending on your personalized treatment plan and the number of dimples being treated.

Is there any downtime after the procedure?

Downtime is minimal. In clinical studies, most patients returned to normal daily activities within 24–48 hours following their Avéli® treatment. Some mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness may occur, but these effects are generally temporary.

Can I work out or exercise after the procedure?

It’s recommended to avoid strenuous exercise and intense physical activity for the first few days to weeks after treatment to allow the area to heal properly. Your Avéli® provider will give you detailed post-procedure instructions tailored to your treatment and lifestyle.

How long will the results last?

Avéli® is FDA-cleared for long-term reduction in the appearance of cellulite on the buttocks and thighs in adult females. In clinical studies, patients continued to show visible improvement one year after their single Avéli® procedure, demonstrating the durability of results.
