Avéli™, a Method of Cellulite Correction, Offered in Tampa Bay
Cellulite may be a completely normal part of the human body, but many people would rather find a way to reduce it for smoother-looking skin. For years, the recommendation for cellulite correction has been diet and exercise, but this strategy doesn’t work for a large percentage of people. Fortunately, Tampa Surgical Arts offers Avéli™, a cellulite reduction treatment that is proven to work. We’re proud to be one of the few providers of this service in the Tampa Bay area.
How Avéli™ Reduces Cellulite
Cellulite is the dimpled skin appearance that commonly occurs on the buttocks and thighs. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has shown that the dimpled appearance of cellulite is caused by thickened fibrous bands, called septa, that connect the skin to deeper tissues. These bands pull the skin downwards, creating the dimpling effect. Avéli™ is the first and only cellulite procedure that identifies and releases the septa that cause cellulite dimples.
At Tampa Surgical Arts, triple-board-certified cosmetic surgeon Dr. Manik S. Bedi and aesthetic master injector Nina Vital, PA-C, perform this minimally invasive procedure using a handheld device that is designed to manually target and release the septa bands. While smoother skin in the procedure area is visible shortly after a single in-office procedure, Avéli™ also delivers a long-term reduction in the appearance of cellulite. Most patients can return to normal activities within 24-48 hours of undergoing the procedure.
