Achieve Smooth Skin With Avéli Cellulite Treatment in Washington, DC

Although cellulite dimples on your thighs and buttocks are entirely normal, that doesn’t mean you have to like them. Not only does cellulite make us feel self-conscious and embarrassed, but it’s also notoriously difficult to eliminate with dieting and exercise alone. Fortunately, Forman Plastic Surgery offers an innovative cellulite treatment called Avéli.

What Is Avéli?

Despite leading a healthy lifestyle and having a healthy BMI, some individuals still experience noticeable cellulite dimples. Cellulite is caused by bands of connective tissue called septa, located just beneath the skin. These bands attach to the skin, causing it to pull inward in certain areas, resulting in cellulite.

Avéli addresses cellulite by cutting these bands of connective tissue using a special handheld device. Dr. Forman uses this device to precisely target the specific bands of tissue responsible for the cellulite, releasing their hold on the skin.

Am I a Good Candidate for Avéli Cellulite Treatment?

Most adults with mild to moderate cellulite around the buttocks and/or thighs are likely good candidates for Avéli. Ideal candidates for the procedure should be relatively close to their ideal body weight with a BMI under 30, and be in good health. Avéli is not a weight-loss treatment, but for patients who desire smoother skin free of cellulite, this procedure may be ideal.

What Happens During the Avéli Cellulite Procedure?

Before your Avéli cellulite treatment in Washington, DC, you'll have a consultation with Dr. Forman. He will review your medical history, medications, and discuss any concerns or questions you have about the procedure. Dr. Forman will analyze the severity of your cellulite to ensure you're a good candidate for the treatment.

The Avéli cellulite treatment is performed as an outpatient procedure at our accredited surgery center, where you'll be given local anesthesia to numb the treatment area. Dr. Forman will make very small incisions, then use the Avéli handheld device to carefully cut the bands of tissue, addressing each strand comprising them. He will then remove the device and close your incisions with sutures. You'll be able to return home shortly after the procedure, feeling confident and ready to show off your smoother, more toned skin once the recovery period is over.

What Is Avéli Recovery Like?

After your Avéli cellulite treatment, you will experience some swelling, redness, and soreness in the treatment area. You can apply a cold pack to reduce the swelling, but it will naturally and gradually subside within the first few days to a week. Most patients can return to work and their everyday routines only a day or two after treatment, but it’s best to avoid strenuous physical activity for one to two weeks.
