Patients of all ages and backgrounds who struggle with the appearance of cellulite may have sought out ways to treat this pesky aesthetic concern. While topical creams, massagers, or electronic devices claim to reduce cellulite, they are frequently ineffective and can be expensive. With Avéli Cellulite Treatment in Bellevue and Kirkland, WA, those with cellulite can see real results due to modern advancements. Performed by plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Tseng, this treatment offers a path to smooth, dimple-free skin.
Cellulite is caused by fibrous bands underneath the skin, called septa bands, which pull down on the skin and create craters or dimples. Avéli is an innovative method for reducing the appearance of cellulite. It works by targeting and releasing each of those fibrous bands individually, which removes the cause of the dimple for a smooth result. This treatment is minimally invasive, non-surgical, and does not require extensive downtime.
Cellulite can be a bothersome or even embarrassing concern. Trying multiple products that claim to treat cellulite but show no results can also be frustrating and time-consuming. Some may not feel like they can wear the shorts or swimsuits they would like to and want the confidence of smooth, cellulite-free skin. With Avéli, visible and immediate results are actually possible, and cellulite can be eliminated in areas such as the thighs, buttocks, and hips. Our Bellevue and Kirkland, WA Avéli patients see remarkable results and real benefits like:
This procedure is fully customizable, and we will create a treatment plan that targets the exact areas and dimples of cellulite you would like to address. At your consultation, we will discuss your aesthetic goals and health history to determine whether you are a great candidate for Avéli. Minimal preparation is needed prior to this treatment, but patients may need to adjust certain medications or supplements to help prevent bruising or other common side effects.
To begin your procedure, the skin in the treatment area will be cleansed, and the specific dimples of cellulite to be treated will be marked as a guide. Then, a local anesthetic will be applied and very tiny, delicate incisions will be made that will allow the Avéli tool to enter the skin. This instrument will then be guided in and used to sever the septa bands causing cellulite. The incisions do not require any sutures and heal on their own. The entire procedure typically lasts about an hour, depending on the extent of treatment.
Although minor swelling or bruising may occur, and there may be tenderness when sitting on the treatment area for a few days, most regular daily activities can be resumed right away. Strenuous workouts, especially running, should be avoided for seven to ten days, and compression garments may be necessary. Once any residual swelling has resolved, optimal results with Avéli are typically seen around a month after treatment.
At Tseng Plastic Surgery, we are passionate about tailoring each treatment to each patient's specific needs. We recognize that a one-size-fits-all approach is ineffective and often does not address individualized aesthetic goals. Dr. Mark Tseng has decades of experience and a premier education and has provided impactful, life-changing treatments for thousands of patients from a wide variety of backgrounds and diverse aesthetic preferences.

Since a local anesthetic is used during the procedure, there is no pain during treatment. However, patients may experience temporary tenderness or soreness after the anesthetic wears off
This procedure is very low-risk when performed by a qualified and experienced professional. Possible side effects include minor swelling or bruising in the treatment area that resolves on its own.
Since this treatment addresses cellulite by targeting its root cause, each corrected depression of cellulite is permanently eliminated. However, this treatment cannot prevent future cellulite from developing.
While results can be seen immediately to some extent, optimal outcomes are typically not visible until residual swelling subsides after about one to two weeks.
The cost of Avéli cellulite treatment is determined based on how much cellulite will be treated and if there are any other procedures that will be performed as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
