Avéli is a minimally invasive procedure for cellulite dimples on the buttocks and thighs. Dr. G finds the septa, the tight bands under the skin that cause each dimple, and releases them, with real-time confirmation that each band is released. It is designed for adult women and is done in a single office visit. Dr. G quotes the price after he sees the areas at your consultation.
A $200 consultation fee applies to every appointment with Dr. G. It is non-refundable and is credited in full toward any treatment or procedure you schedule.
Cellulite dimples form where septa, fibrous bands under the skin, pull the surface down. Avéli works on those bands directly, rather than on the fat or the skin around them, and Dr. G can treat the buttocks and thighs in the same visit.
What Avéli treats, and what it does not
A good fit
- Dimples on the buttocks and thighs caused by septa bands pulling the skin down
- Women who want one minimally invasive procedure rather than a series of sessions
- Dimples on both the buttocks and the thighs, treated in the same visit
Not what Avéli treats
- Loose or lax skin. Skin tightening such as Renuvion plasma tightening or Sofwave skin tightening addresses laxity.
- Pockets of fat on the hips or thighs. Those are treated with liposuction of the hips and thighs.

Recovery, as the clinical study reported it
These timings come from the Avéli clinical study. Your own recovery may differ, and Dr. G walks you through it before the procedure.
- 24 to 48 hours
- Most patients in the clinical study were back to normal activities within this time.
- The first 24 hours
- Mild pain was the most common side effect reported.
- Up to 30 days
- Bruising and tenderness to the touch typically resolved within a month.
- About one month
- Once swelling and bruising settle, the change in the dimples starts to show.
- A couple of months
- Small areas of firmness, usually not visible or painful, typically resolved.
Plan to skip strenuous workouts for the first few days to weeks. Results vary from patient to patient.
