Cellulite Care, The Richmond Plastic Surgery Way

At Richmond Plastic Surgeons, we understand that every journey is personal, and that includes your relationship with cellulite. That’s why we offer Aveli, a groundbreaking, FDA-cleared treatment designed to target cellulite at its source. Our board-certified plastic surgeons bring more than 25 years of experience to Richmond, Midlothian, and the surrounding areas, delivering care that is thoughtful, discreet, and highly effective.

Backed by science and delivered with compassion, Aveli at Richmond Plastic Surgeons is about more than looking good—it’s about feeling confident in your skin. Book your consultation today and take the first step toward smoother, dimple-free skin.

What is Aveli?

Aveli is a minimally invasive treatment that tackles cellulite from the inside out. Unlike surface-level creams or energy-based gadgets, Aveli allows a trained provider to physically release the fibrous septa bands under the skin that cause cellulite dimples. The result? A visibly smoother appearance in the thighs and buttocks after just one session.

Am I a Good Candidate for Aveli?

If you’re generally healthy and experiencing dimples on your thighs or buttocks, you may be a great candidate for Aveli in Richmond. While the treatment is most commonly performed on women, we welcome all eligible individuals to schedule a consultation. Aveli is ideal for patients with clearly visible cellulite and realistic expectations about improvement, not perfection. We’ll work with you to assess your goals and determine if Aveli aligns with your aesthetic journey.

However, not all dimples are created equal. Aveli targets structural cellulite caused by septa bands—the most common type seen in women—by releasing the fibrous bands beneath the skin. If your concerns are related to skin laxity or fat volume, we may recommend alternative or complementary procedures to help you achieve your desired outcome.

Aveli Treatment Recovery and Results

Our Aveli Treatment in Richmond is performed in-office under local anesthesia. Using a handheld device, your provider identifies and releases the septa bands tethering the skin. The entire procedure typically takes less than an hour, and patients can return home the same day.

You may experience mild bruising, soreness, or swelling for a few days after your treatment. Most patients resume normal activities within 24 to 48 hours. Visible improvements can be seen quickly, with full results becoming more apparent over time. Best of all, results are designed to last.

FAQs

Is Aveli safe for all skin tones?

Yes, Aveli is considered safe and effective across all skin tones, as it does not rely on light or energy-based technologies that might interact differently with pigmentation.

Can I get Aveli while pregnant or breastfeeding?

Aveli has not been studied in pregnant or breastfeeding women and is not recommended during this time. We advise waiting until after pregnancy and nursing to consider treatment.

Will I need someone to drive me home after Aveli?

Most patients do not require sedation and are able to drive themselves home. However, if you are especially sensitive or anxious and opt for additional sedation, you may need someone to accompany you.

How soon can I exercise after Aveli?

While light activities are usually fine within a day or two, we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise or activities that impact the treated areas for at least a week.

Does Aveli help with stretch marks or sagging skin?

No, Aveli is specifically designed to address cellulite dimples caused by fibrous septa bands. It does not treat stretch marks, skin laxity, or loose skin.

Can Aveli be combined with other treatments?

Yes, Aveli can be part of a comprehensive body rejuvenation plan. Depending on your goals, it may be safely combined with skin tightening, fat reduction, or other medspa procedures.

How is Aveli different from laser or radiofrequency treatments?

Unlike energy-based treatments that attempt to stimulate collagen or reduce fat, Aveli directly targets the fibrous bands causing cellulite with a precision hand-held device.

Will I need maintenance treatments?

Aveli is designed to offer long-lasting results after just one treatment. While ongoing maintenance is not typically required, your provider may recommend follow-up based on your personal aging process or changes in your skin.

Can I wear tight clothing after the procedure?

We suggest avoiding tight-fitting clothing like compression leggings for the first few days after treatment to reduce pressure and allow for optimal healing.
