What is
Aveliâ„¢ Cellulite Reduction?


“I can feel a noticeable difference every time I get dermaplaning. My skin feels refreshed and my makeup looks so much better!”

Avéli™ offers a groundbreaking, one-time solution that dramatically reduces cellulite on the thighs and buttocks. Unlike other treatments, Avéli™ tackles the root cause of cellulite.

Aveliâ„¢ is a one-time treatment designed to eliminate cellulite on the thighs and buttocks. By precisely targeting and releasing the connective tissue bands that cause the dimpled appearance, Aveli smooths the skin for a noticeably improved texture. This advanced cellulite treatment is celebrated for its long-lasting results and minimal downtime, making it an effective solution for those seeking a smoother, more confident look.

Key Benefits of
Aveliâ„¢ Cellulite Reduction

  • Targeted Treatment: Avéliâ„¢ tackles the root causes of cellulite, offering a deeper solution compared to creams, lasers, and injections. It focuses on the underlying structural issues, providing noticeable and long-lasting results.
  • Safe for All Skin Types: Avéliâ„¢ is carefully designed to be both safe and effective for every skin type.
  • Quick In-Office Procedure: Avéliâ„¢ can be performed as a standalone treatment under local anesthesia, taking less than an hour. It can also be combined with other procedures like liposuction or a Brazilian butt lift.
  • Minimal Downtime: Your time is valuable. With Avéliâ„¢, you can expect minimal downtime, often returning to your regular activities the day after treatment.

Aveliâ„¢
Cellulite Recovery

The results of your Avéliâ„¢ cellulite treatment will begin to show once the initial swelling subsides, typically within one to two weeks post-treatment. You can expect to see the full results within three months. After the procedure, it’s normal to experience some swelling and bruising, which should resolve within 24 to 48 hours. To help you through the recovery process, here are some tips and guidelines..

  • Pain Management: To alleviate discomfort in the first few days after your Avéli treatment, alternate between over-the-counter ibuprofen and Tylenol, following the instructions on the labels.
  • Compression Garments: Consistently wear compression shorts or pants, such as tight leggings or Spanx, for up to two weeks post-treatment. This helps reduce bruising and swelling effectively.
  • Activity Restrictions: Refrain from strenuous activities, including cardio and strength training, for the first two weeks after the procedure. This will help minimize swelling and promote a smoother recovery.
  • Work Considerations: Most patients can resume their regular activities within a day or two after the procedure. Taking time off work is usually unnecessary unless your job involves heavy physical labor.
  • Work Considerations: Most patients can resume their regular activities within a day or two after the procedure. Taking time off work is usually unnecessary unless your job involves heavy physical labor.

    Post-Procedure Hygiene: You can shower starting the day after your treatment. However, avoid sitting in bathtubs, hot tubs, or pools for one month to ensure proper healing.

These guidelines are designed to enhance your comfort and optimize the results of your Avéli™ treatment. If you have any questions or concerns after your procedure, please contact your patient care team at our office.

New update: I had a wonderful experience with Carol. She was professional, knowledgeable and paid attention to every detail to clearly explain my skin concerns. I’ll definitely be coming back! The moment I walked into the clinic I felt a happy, welcomed and professional setting. I had my Sofwave treatment with Alison Falada, Master Esthetician and Laser Specialist. She was nothing short of amazing! She was personable, knowledgeable, skilled and detailed throughout the entire experience. She took the time to thoroughly explain the entire process, addressed all of my my questions and concerns. Alison is an expert and provided great quality service! I love my results and can't wait to book my next appointment with her!

I’ve been seeing Carol for Botox for over two years, and she is absolutely amazing! I trust her completely with my face. She always takes the time to listen to what I want and makes sure my results look natural and beautiful—she never overdoes it. I especially appreciate how honest she is; she will tell you when you don’t need something rather than trying to sell you more treatments. Carol truly cares about her patients and always makes me feel comfortable, welcomed, and at home. She is professional, knowledgeable, gentle, and incredibly attentive. I always leave feeling confident and happy with my results. It’s hard to find someone you can trust this much, and I’m so grateful I found Carol.

I had an amazing experience with my Moxi laser treatment with Stephanie! She was incredibly knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable from start to finish. She thoroughly explained what to expect before, during, and after the procedure and gave me clear, detailed instructions for caring for my skin at home. I truly felt cared for throughout the entire experience and am so excited to see my results! I highly recommend Stephanie to anyone considering Moxi or any other service.

My experience at Chicago Aesthetics has always been positive. I am so grateful to Stephanie for her guidance and expertise on my treatment plan over the past year. She was thoughtful in her approach to treating my hyperpigmentation and acne and always informed me on what was going on during each treatment and why we were doing it. I wouldn’t go to anyone else and highly highly recommend her! Also, the ladies at the front desk are always so kind and make the booking process and check in/check out process go smoothly.
