Cellulite is a common, natural skin condition that affects around 80 to 90% of women at some point in their lives, regardless of age or body type. It appears as a dimpled or lumpy texture, typically on the thighs, buttocks, and abdomen, resulting from fat deposits pushing through connective tissue beneath the skin.
Although cellulite is harmless to health, many people look for ways to reduce its visibility due to the impact it can have on confidence and body image. With the advancement of modern skincare and cosmetic treatments, there is now a promising option beyond laser and radiofrequency treatments for those looking to improve the texture and firmness of their skin - Avéli cellulite treatment.
Learn more about what you can do to treat cellulite and how Avéli can help.
Cellulite forms when fat cells accumulate beneath the skin and push against the connective tissue, creating the bumpy or dimpled effect commonly associated with the condition. Factors like genetics, hormonal changes, and lifestyle choices significantly impact cellulite development. For instance, genetic predispositions can make some individuals more prone to cellulite, while fluctuations in hormones, particularly estrogen, can lead to increased fat storage in certain areas. Lifestyle choices, such as diet, hydration, and physical activity, also play a major role, as poor dietary habits and a sedentary lifestyle can exacerbate the appearance of cellulite.
As fat cells enlarge, they push against the skin, creating the familiar dimpled look. Skin elasticity also plays a role—when the skin becomes less firm, cellulite becomes more visible. This process often occurs in areas with excess fat, such as the thighs or buttocks. Fortunately, modern treatments target both fat cells and skin elasticity, leading to visible improvements.
Avéli is a groundbreaking, minimally invasive procedure designed to treat cellulite by targeting the fibrous bands beneath the skin that cause the dimpled appearance. These connective bands, or septa, are responsible for pulling down on the skin, leading to the uneven texture commonly associated with cellulite. During the procedure, a specialized device is inserted under the skin to cut these bands, allowing the skin to appear smoother and more even.
Unlike other methods such as laser treatments or radiofrequency therapies, which focus on skin tightening or fat reduction, Avéli directly addresses the root cause of cellulite dimpling. This makes it an excellent option for those seeking to reduce cellulite without multiple sessions or extensive downtime. It provides a more direct solution for areas like the thighs and buttocks where dimpled skin is most common.
Avéli offers unique benefits, making it stand out from other cellulite treatments:
Before the procedure, your provider will mark the areas with noticeable dimpled skin. After applying local anesthesia, the device is inserted just beneath the skin through a small incision. Using this tool, your provider will locate the fibrous bands causing the dimpling and carefully release them. As these bands are cut, the skin becomes smoother and the dimples less visible.
The procedure is usually completed in one session, and most patients experience only mild bruising or tenderness afterward. Within a few days, you can resume your normal activities, and over the next few weeks, the full results of smoother, firmer skin will become apparent as any swelling subsides.
A balanced diet rich in nutrients, antioxidants, and water can help reduce the appearance of cellulite. Foods high in water content, such as fruits and vegetables, support hydration and skin elasticity, while foods high in fiber can assist with maintaining a healthy weight and reducing fat accumulation. Including healthy fats, like those found in nuts and fish, can also improve skin texture.
Regular exercise plays a significant role in reducing cellulite. Cardiovascular activities, such as running or cycling, combined with strength training exercises that target problem areas, can reduce body fat and build muscle. Improved circulation from regular movement and weight loss can also support overall skin health, making cellulite less noticeable over time.
Staying hydrated and following a skincare routine that includes moisturizing and gentle exfoliation can enhance skin elasticity. Proper hydration and skincare support the skin’s resilience, helping it appear smoother and more toned. Incorporating hydrating lotions or oils can help lock in moisture and keep skin firm.
