Avéli is a state-of-the-art, FDA-cleared treatment for reducing cellulite dimples, primarily on the thighs and buttocks. This innovative treatment offers immediate improvements, is minimally invasive, and requires very little downtime following the procedure.

For those interested in Avéli New Jersey board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Smita Ramanadham performs this treatment for patients, in addition to a wide range of other popular cosmetic treatments and surgeries.

What is Avéli Cellulite Treatment?

The Avéli procedure was designed to release the fibrous bands (also called septa bands) beneath the skin, which are actually the cause of cellulite dimpling. The Avéli treatment uses a specialized device to carefully target and release these bands, and this creates a smoother skin surface.

Patients like the fact that Avéli cellulite treatment requires only local anesthesia and addresses cellulite in key treatment areas—primarily, on the buttocks and thighs. For those looking to treat cellulite dimples and improve their skin’s appearance overall, Avéli can be a highly effective solution.

There aren’t enough words to describe Dr. Smita’s skill, professionalism, beauty, and graciousness. I entrusted her with three major procedures and I am beyond grateful that I chose her as my surgeon. She is truly a Godsend and I plan to continue going to her for all of my future needs. From the very first day I met her through months into my recovery, Dr. Smita always made me feel valued, cared for, and heard. Her expertise is unmatched, but what makes her truly special is her genuine compassion and the way she treats her patients. I always felt that I mattered to her and that she genuinely wanted nothing more than for me to heal properly and achieve the best possible results. Her staff is the most wonderful group I’ve had the pleasure of encountering. They have always made me feel welcomed and valued. They are such a wonderful team and you can tell they enjoy doing what they do along with Dr. Smita. Dr. Smita has the most blessed hands and I truly mean that. The work she does is absolutely incredible, and I honestly don’t think anyone can compare to how gifted she is. She is not only an exceptionally talented surgeon, but also a beautiful person inside and out. Dr. Smita has truly won my heart. I recommend her wholeheartedly to all of my friends and family whenever they talk about wanting to have a procedure done. If you are considering surgery, I cannot recommend her enough. You will be in incredibly talented and caring hands.

If I could give Dr. Smita more than five stars, I absolutely would. From the moment I met her, she was warm, informative, and immediately made me feel confident in choosing her for such a big decision. Breast augmentation is a very personal process, and she has an incredible way of making you feel completely comfortable in a situation that can naturally feel a little intimidating. I had consultations with other surgeons before making my decision, and Dr. Smita stood out by far. She spent the most time with me, answered every single question thoroughly, and was completely honest about the procedure, recovery, and potential risks. I never felt rushed or pressured, only educated and supported. She was able to schedule my Preservé breast augmentation with Motiva implants within just a few weeks, and the entire process was seamless from start to finish. The surgery was performed at a beautiful surgical center in Montclair, where everyone treated me with exceptional kindness and care. Most importantly, my results are exactly what I had hoped for and I truly couldn’t be happier. Dr. Smita is not only an exceptionally talented surgeon, but also a genuinely kind, down-to-earth, and personable physician who truly cares about her patients. I would recommend Dr. Smita to anyone considering breast augmentation without hesitation. She exceeded every expectation, and I am so grateful I trusted her with this journey.

Dr. Smita has been a friend since literally Kindergarten so I've always known her to be warm, kind, and incredibly bright. Now that I am her patience, I've had the privilege to come to know her in a whole new way. As a doctor, she is attentive, validating, and wildly talented at what she does. In her care, Dr. Smita makes you feel like the only patient in the world, giving you all the time and space you need to convey your concerns, understand the options and execute. Highly recommend!

I had a great experience with Dr. Smita and her team. I had been thinking about liposuction to fix my double chin and my arms. The second I met Dr. Smita, I knew she was the right doctor for me. Her bedside manner is impeccable and she immediately made me feel at ease. Her team made scheduling the procedure seamless. I am now 1 year from surgery and could not be happier with my results. She is worth every penny and more and she still follows up with me and my results regularly!!

I highly recommend SR Plastic Surgery for any service needed. I myself have been here for two different services. I had a scar revision performed by Dr. Smita. She was very knowledgeable and I felt very safe going forward with the procedure. I was nervous about having the procedure but she immediately calmed my nerves after having a consultation. The second service I have received there is micro-needling. Ashley is amazing. Again, very knowledgeable and answered every question before I went through with it. I have had three sessions so far and plan to continue going for maintenance. I want to also point out that they’re incredibly professional and polished, yet still very affordable. I’m so happy that I found this place online and I will refer them to anybody looking for similar services. :0)

I’ve had a genetic double chin my whole life and I’m SO happy I got it addressed with Dr. Smita. I’m only 7 weeks post-op and I’m so obsessed with my results!! It looks super realistic and it makes such a world of a difference.

Dr Smita is the only Dr I will go to! No one is more skilled at injections, a woman’s eye for natural results is so important. I wanted filler and Dr Smita advised against it “you don’t need it and it would end up just looking odd”. So appreciate her honesty and integrity. Can’t recommend her highly enough .

Avéli Recovery

Fortunately, Avéli treatment requires minimal downtime. After the procedure, patients can typically return to their normal activities within a few days. While some mild pain and bruising in the treatment area may be expected, these symptoms do not linger and should disappear shortly. Swelling typically takes the longest to completely resolve.

As with any cosmetic procedure, it is essential to follow your plastic surgeon’s post-treatment care instructions. The good news is that Avéli recovery is almost always smooth, and patients are able to return to work, exercise, and most other activities in a short amount of time.

Avéli Before and After

To understand what type of results Avéli can achieve, we always advise reviewing Avéli cellulite treatment before and after photos.

High-quality Avéli cellulite before and after pictures can show Avéli’s effect on the skin’s surface in target areas. Be sure to filter pictures by body area—for example, search for “Avéli before and after thighs” for specific photos of the thigh area. This can ideally help potential patients clearly visualize the transformation that is possible with this treatment.

Avéli Results

Avéli delivers a noticeable improvement in skin smoothness and a significant reduction of cellulite dimples. Unlike other cellulite creams and topical aesthetic treatments, Avéli addresses the underlying reason for cellulite: fibrous bands that anchor themselves to the tissue beneath and pull down specific areas of the uppermost skin. 

During the procedure, Avéli provides an immediate and clearly visible reduction in cellulite. Ultimately, it helps create a more natural appearance on the buttocks and thighs.

As with any plastic surgery procedure, results vary by individual. However, the vast majority of patients end up with visibly smoother skin, and this, in turn, gives a boost to their self-confidence and enhances their body image.

Avéli Cost

Patients who have struggled with cellulite for years are often eager to undergo this highly effective and minimally invasive procedure. Still, the first question they often have is, “How much does Avéli cost?” This is certainly understandable.

Ultimately, Avéli cellulite treatment cost is something you’ll need to discuss at your consultation appointment with Dr. Ramanadham. While prices tend to be rather consistent for this treatment, the ultimate cost of Avéli you are quoted will also depend upon factors such as how much cellulite you have, how severe your cellulite is, and whether you have additional procedures performed at the same time as your Avéli treatment sessions.

Avéli FAQ

Some of the most common questions about New Jersey Avéli include:

Does Avéli work?

Yes, Avéli has a proven track record of effectiveness. It is designed to treat cellulite by addressing the fibrous connective tissue bands responsible for creating visible skin dimples—septa bands. Cellulite forms when these septa bands tug the skin downward and create an uneven, dimpled texture.

So, how does Avéli work?

At the start of your treatment session, your surgeon will mark the dimples on your thighs and both your buttocks. After local anesthetic is administered, they will then make several very small incisions in the treatment area.

Through these incisions, they will insert the Avéli device, which has a light on the end, visible through the skin. This light will guide your surgeon to the target fibrous bands, which, once released, will reduce cellulite.

How much is Avéli cellulite treatment?

Patients will sometimes call in and ask, “How much is Avéli?” However, this is not something we can typically tell you over the phone as Avéli treatment cost depends on several factors. The best way to find out the estimated Avéli cellulite cost for you and your desired outcome is to schedule a consultation appointment with Dr. Ramanadham.

Where can I find Avéli near me?

Looking for a plastic surgeon who performs Avéli cellulite treatment in your area? Most patients will Google, “Avéli treatment near me”, and ultimately, that’s not a bad start!

Still, there are several things you’ll want to check for when reviewing plastic surgeons for your procedure. First, you should always choose a plastic surgeon who is board certified. Next, make sure they’ve actually performed this procedure before. It’s best if they perform it regularly. Read their reviews, and look at their before and after photos. 

Lastly, book a consultation appointment with them and find out if you feel a good connection. It’s important that you feel comfortable and confident as you move forward with treatment.

Cellfina vs. Avéli: Which is better?

Cellfina and Avéli are very similar in how they treat cellulite. Both target septa bands.

The core difference is that with Cellfina, you cannot double check that you’ve eliminated the target collagen bands. In addition, Cellfina treatment can sometimes eliminate additional collagen bands that weren’t causing cellulite. This is why we prefer Aveli cellulite treatment.

Is Avéli cellulite bruising normal after treatment?

Yes, mild bruising is a common and temporary side effect following Avéli treatment. This bruising typically results from damage to small blood vessels and will go away in a short time.

How long does Avéli cellulite treatment last?

The results of Avéli can last several years. This makes it a long-term solution for many patients.

With that said, treatment benefits and length of results can vary depending on factors like skin laxity, age, and lifestyle choices. Staying at a steady weight and sticking with healthy habits following treatment will help prolong your results.

What are common Avéli side effects?

Avéli is generally well-tolerated, but some patients experience mild bruising, swelling, and tenderness after treatment. These side effects are typical of minimally invasive procedures and usually resolve within a few days to a couple of weeks. Always follow your surgeon’s aftercare advice for optimal cellulite reduction and long-lasting results.

How does the Avéli cellulite device work?

The Avéli device works by helping your surgeon locate the septa bands that are causing cellulite. The end of the device lights up, guiding your surgeon to the target bands. A hook then goes around the target band, and once a target band is hooked, a small blade can be released to sever the connection and release the pull on the skin.

Book Your Avéli Treatment Consultation

When searching for the best Avéli surgeon in your area, it’s important to choose someone who is board certified. You should also ensure they have experience performing Avéli treatment and that they’ve received positive reviews from past patients.
