Avéli™ Cellulite Reduction Revolution


At The Vinyard Institute of Plastic Surgery (VIPS), we are proud to offer Avéli™, an innovative treatment that targets septae to address cellulite. Avéli™ is a groundbreaking procedure that uses advanced technology to specifically target and reduce the appearance of septae, the fibrous bands that contribute to cellulite. By focusing on these underlying structures, Avéli™ provides a comprehensive solution for smoothing and tightening the skin, leading to a more toned and contoured appearance. Our experienced team at VIPS is dedicated to providing the latest and most effective treatments, and Avéli™ is just one example of our commitment to delivering exceptional results for our patients.

Understanding Cellulite and Avéli™

Nearly 90% of women and 10% of men are affected by cellulite, a skin condition whose exact causes are not fully understood. It is believed to be caused by a combination of factors such as genetics, hormones, and lifestyle. Cellulite appears as a depression of any shape or size on the skin's surface, commonly on the buttocks or thighs.

The fibrous bands that connect the skin to the structures below, also known as septa, are a major underlying cause of cellulite. Avéli™ sets itself apart from other cellulite treatments by targeting the root cause of the problem. Rather than focusing on treating the skin's surface like traditional methods, Avéli™ is a minimally invasive procedure that employs a specialized hand-held device expertly guided by a trained provider to directly target and release the septa bands responsible for cellulite from the inside out.

Fat Reduction vs. Cellulite Reduction


CoolSculpting and Avéli™ are both popular non-invasive treatments offered at VIPS to address different aspects of body contouring. Here’s what sets them apart:

  • CoolSculpting is a well-established procedure that targets and reduces stubborn pockets of fat through controlled cooling technology. CoolSculpting offers a proven method for reducing localized fat deposits in areas such as the abdomen, thighs, and flanks by freezing and eliminating fat cells. The treatment is known for its effectiveness and minimal downtime, making it convenient for individuals seeking fat reduction without surgery.
  • Avéli™ is specifically designed to target cellulite by addressing the underlying septae, or fibrous bands, responsible for the characteristic dimpling of the skin. This innovative procedure utilizes advanced technology to release and smooth the septae, leading to a visible reduction in cellulite and an overall improvement in skin texture. Unlike CoolSculpting, which focuses on fat reduction, Avéli™ is tailored to specifically address the structural causes of cellulite, offering a comprehensive solution for individuals seeking to improve the appearance of cellulite in areas such as the buttocks and thighs.

Before & After Avéli™

Avéli™: Before, During, and After


Before your Avéli™ session, you will undergo a consultation with Dr. Vinyard. During this consultation, he will review your medical history, perform a physical examination, and address any concerns you may have regarding excess fat and your desired goals. Once Dr. Vinyard has conducted a comprehensive evaluation, he will develop a personalized cellulite reduction plan that outlines the specific areas to be treated and recommends the number of sessions necessary to achieve optimal results. Our patient care coordinator will provide a transparent estimate of the procedure's cost, ensuring transparency throughout the process.

Avéli™ is a straightforward procedure that cuts the subdermal bands of connective tissue. The fast and virtually pain-free experience involves Dr. Vinyard using a handheld device with a light and a hook to guide the device to the connective tissue and sever the septa, resulting in no more dimpling. The light illuminates the tissue, only treating the target area.

Following the procedure, it's possible to experience mild redness or swelling in the treated area, but this should diminish within a few hours. Avéli™ cellulite treatment is a minimally invasive procedure that provides precision and requires minimal downtime. Most individuals can resume their normal activities after a day or two of rest.

Avéli™ FAQ

How much does Avéli™ cost?

Is Avéli™ the same as Cellfina?

How long does Avéli™ cellulite treatment last?

What results can I expect from Avéli™?

Can Avéli™ permanently remove cellulite?

How much does Avéli™ cost?

The cost of the treatment is determined by the number of areas treated and the extent of cellulite. This may vary depending on the provider but typically ranges between $3,000 and $5,000. The most frequently treated areas are the thighs, hips, and buttocks, which are the areas most prone to cellulite development.

Is Avéli™ the same as Cellfina?

Avéli™ and Cellfina are similar cellulite treatments with some key differences. Avéli™ has the edge of precision due to its light-guided device, allowing for more precise navigation to the areas that need treatment while leaving healthy tissue intact. This ensures all problematic fibrous bands are severed, avoiding under and overtreatment. In contrast, Cellfina lacks precision, damaging healthy tissue and leading to unnecessary bruising and swelling or undertreatment. Avéli™ is considered the cutting-edge treatment for cellulite reduction, saving patients time and money.

How long does Avéli™ cellulite treatment last?

Most Avéli™ cellulite treatments typically last an hour, but it may take longer if larger areas are being treated. Dr. Vinyard can provide a more accurate time estimate after a thorough consultation and evaluation of the treatment area.

What results can I expect from Avéli™?

Patients can typically observe initial results within 14 days after treatment once the bruising and swelling have subsided and more visible results after 30 days. However, it's important to note that full results should be noticeable at the 90-day mark, with no side effects from the procedure.

Can Avéli™ permanently remove cellulite?

Regrettably, there is no permanent way to eliminate cellulite. Nevertheless, Avéli™ cellulite treatment can help reduce the appearance of cellulite and provide smoother skin. The visible cellulite reduction is often gratifying and can help restore patients' confidence in their bodies.
