Cellulite is a depression of any shape or size seen on the surface of the skin, typically on the buttocks or thighs. A major underlying cause of cellulite are the fibrous bands that tether your skin to the structures below. These bands are called septa. Some septa are good (and you want them as connective tethers), but others stiffen or shrink over time and lead to the dimples we see on the surface and call cellulite.
Cellulite can appear at any age and causes the skin to appear to have bumpy, uneven texture. It creates unsightly dimples along the otherwise smooth appearance of your skin. While it does not cause any pain, it can affect your day to day life by hindering your confidence and making it undesirable to show your thighs or wear tight clothing.
Avéli® is a minimally invasive treatment that is created to resolve the appearance of cellulite dimples from the buttocks and thighs. Besides being the first procedure of its kind, it is also the only approach that successfully resolves cellulite dimples in a single session without invasive surgery.
As a targeted cellulite treatment in Long Beach, Avéli® specifically resolves cellulite dimples across your areas of concern. However, it does not address skin laxity or excess buildup of fat. For those concerns, you can look into body contouring or liposuction procedures, respectively.
The Avéli® treatment is performed at our Long Beach office with a specialized device that interacts with tissue bands under your skin that form cellulite dimples. As these bands release within your skin, the dimples that form on its surface reduce and disappear overtime. This provides you with smoother, more youthful, and dimple-free skin for your physique.
Avéli® has little to no downtime. Typically, you can get back to your normal activities within one to two days after your treatment.

The ideal candidate for Avéli® typically has the following characteristics:
Avéli® only requires one session to administer the treatment. Most patients do not require a second Avéli® treatment and receive long-lasting results from their first and only treatment session.
You can go home right after going through your Avéli® cellulite treatment. However, you may need to rest for 24 to 48 hours after your procedure before resuming your regular activities. Dr. Waltzman can provide you with personalized recommendations on when to start with more strenuous activities, such as exercising.
You may experience pain, bruising, and tenderness along the treatment site. While the pain typically subsides within 24 hours of your treatment, bruising and tenderness may remain for a few weeks (up to 30 days). You may also notice hardened tissue along the treatment site that resolves by itself within a couple of months.
While the treatment outcome is immediately evident to your Avéli® provider, you may need at least a month for the bruising and tenderness to subside before you can see visible results over the surface of your skin.
