Aveli Cellulite Treatment in Miami, FL
Avéli™ Long-Term Cellulite Reduction Procedure
Dr. G Cosmetic Surgery in Miami, FL is excited to be one of the first to offer Avéli™ for a meaningful and lasting reduction in cellulite dimples1.
Cellulite is a depression of any shape or size with defined edges 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.2 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.2
It’s important to distinguish cellulite from other concerns like laxity or localized fat, which we can talk you through during a consultation in our office. You should also know that cellulite is not your fault (genetics and hormones play a role), and you are not alone – up to 90% of women have it.3
Avéli™ is a no-nonsense approach to treating cellulite based on a deep understanding of women’s anatomy. While many treatments approach cellulite blindly from the outside-in, Avéli™ identifies and releases the primary structural cause of cellulite from the inside-out in a single minimally-invasive procedure with little downtime.2
Avéli™ is an option for a range of women across the cellulite severity spectrum. The procedure is performed by one of our trained providers and uses a handheld device to manually target and release the complicated web of septa bands causing cellulite dimples.2
Avéli™ addresses the primary structural cause of cellulite in 3 steps:
- Your provider guides the Avéli™ device under the skin directly to the targeted dimples.2
- After your provider identifies the culprit septa bands causing a dimple, those septa are precisely released.2
- Your provider can confirm their release in real-time, delivering visibly smoother skin quickly after the procedure.2,4

Aveli is an advanced, FDA-cleared treatment designed to target the structural causes of cellulite. Unlike surface-level creams or energy-based devices, Aveli directly addresses the connective tissue bands beneath the skin that pull down and create cellulite dimples. This precision allows Aveli to deliver noticeable, long-lasting results in just one treatment. While other treatments may require multiple sessions or focus on temporary skin smoothing, Aveli offers a minimally invasive, highly targeted solution that delivers immediate improvement.
Yes, Aveli works well in combination with other aesthetic treatments to enhance overall results. For example, some patients opt to pair Aveli with skin-tightening procedures or treatments like dermal fillers for other areas of the body, for a comprehensive improvement that helps you look your best from head to toe. This synergistic approach can help improve both skin texture and tone. Dr. G can develop a personalized treatment plan based on your unique needs and aesthetic goals.
Preparing for Aveli is straightforward and requires minimal effort:
- Consultation: Schedule an initial consultation with Dr. G to discuss your goals, assess the treatment area, and ensure you are a good candidate.
- Medications: Avoid blood-thinning medications, such as aspirin, for a few days before the procedure to reduce the risk of bruising.
- Hydration: Stay hydrated in the days leading up to your appointment to support optimal skin health.
- Comfortable Clothing: Wear loose-fitting clothing on the day of your treatment to avoid irritation in the treated areas post-procedure.
Dr. G will provide you with specific instructions to ensure the best possible experience and outcomes.
Aveli is a minimally invasive procedure performed in-office. Local anesthesia is applied to the treatment area to ensure your comfort.

The process typically takes about an hour, depending on the size and scope of the treatment area.
You can expect to see noticeable improvement in the treated areas immediately after your procedure. The results are long-lasting, as Aveli addresses the underlying cause of cellulite rather than masking it. While the natural aging process and lifestyle factors may influence your skin over time, many patients enjoy the benefits of Aveli for several years.

- Healthy Lifestyle: Follow a balanced diet, stay hydrated, and engage in regular exercise to support skin health and circulation.
- Skin Care: Use high-quality skin care products to keep the treated areas moisturized and supple.
