Cellulite occurs when fibrous bands called septa pull down on your skin, creating the characteristic dimpled appearance on the buttocks and thighs. These bands stiffen or shrink over time, and no amount of diet, exercise, or topical creams can release them. That's where Aveli makes all the difference.

Aveli is the first and only FDA-cleared device that allows your surgeon to precisely identify, release, and verify that each septa band causing cellulite has been successfully treated. Unlike surface-level treatments that provide temporary masking, Aveli addresses the root cause from beneath the skin.

During your treatment, Dr. Nwaoz inserts a small, specialized device beneath the skin through tiny incisions. The device illuminates from within, allowing him to see exactly where each problematic band is located. He then precisely releases these bands with a controlled cutting mechanism, immediately smoothing the skin above.

What makes Aveli revolutionary is the real-time verification. Dr. Nwaoz can confirm in the moment that each band has been successfully released, ensuring complete treatment with no guesswork. This precision minimizes damage to surrounding tissue and optimizes your results.

The entire procedure typically takes one to two hours under local anesthesia. Most patients experience mild bruising and tenderness that resolves within a few weeks, with final results visible around three months as any remaining swelling subsides. Clinical studies demonstrate maintained results for at least one year, with many patients enjoying smooth skin for even longer.
