A New Wave Of Cellulite Treatments Has Arrived

Forget the idea of having to go into your plastic surgeon or dermatologist's office several times to see results. Avéli is an FDA-cleared and minimally invasive treatment that reduces the appearance of cellulite in just one treatment.

Sadyk Fayz, PA-C, a Manhattan-based board-certified Aesthetic Physician Associate at Beso Aesthetics, explains that it works by cutting the connective tissue bands that pull on the skin and create cellulite dimples via a hand-held device. It's what's used for treatments such as AirSculpt Smooth.

"Our patients have an initial consult with one of our surgeons to determine candidacy and identify the areas for treatment. Once a procedure is booked, it couldn't be easier. During pre-op, patients are given a local anesthesia. Once in the procedure, our patients are awake the entire time, chatting with the nurses and surgeons and listening to their favorite playlist," says Aaron Rollins, MD, founder of AirSculpt Technologies. "Our process is to create a very small entry point that is the size of a freckle. There are no needles, no scalpels and no stitches and our patients are back to work in 24-48 hours." And once the swelling goes down, the results can be seen immediately.
