Not all dimples are fun: offering a unique cellulite solution

Let’s face it. The dimples we love on our face aren’t as desirable when they turn up on our thighs as cellulite.

Cellulite is common. In fact, 90% of women and 10% of men experience cellulite, the lumpy dimpled skin that most often develops on the buttocks and thighs.

What causes cellulite?

• Cellulite forms when fat under the skin accumulates and becomes constricted by collagen bands called “septae.” When this occurs, dimples are formed on the skin creating a lumpy, uneven appearance.
• Cellulite is a “depression” caused by a problem underneath the skin.
• Cellulite isn’t the result of something you did, or didn’t do, and can’t be solved by diet and exercise alone. It is not fat.
• Your genetics determine if you are predisposed to cellulite.

What is unique about the Aveli cellulite treatment option?

• Aveli is the only minimally invasive procedure designed to target and release the culprit – septae -- under the skin from the inside out.
• It offers fast, visible results with minimal downtime.

Why would I use this treatment vs. other options?

• Aveli is minimally invasive, with 24-to-48 hours of downtime and one week of no strenuous exercise.
• Aveli requires a one-hour office appointment for treatment.
• A local anesthetic is used.
• Aveli delivers quickly visible, long-lasting results.
