Aveli is designed to be minimally invasive and well-tolerated. Local anesthesia is used to numb the treatment area, keeping you comfortable throughout the procedure. Afterward, mild soreness or tenderness, similar to what you might feel after a vigorous workout, may occur but typically resolves within a few days. Over-the-counter pain relief and gentle activity are usually all that’s needed to manage discomfort during recovery.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

Most patients achieve their desired outcome after just one Aveli session, as the treatment directly targets and releases the fibrous septae responsible for cellulite. However, in cases with extensive dimpling or for those who wish to treat multiple body areas, a follow-up session may occasionally be recommended.

How Long Until I See the Results?

Initial improvements can often be seen as swelling begins to subside, usually within 1 to 2 weeks. As the skin continues to smooth and settle, results become more noticeable around three months post-treatment. Because Aveli releases the actual structures that cause cellulite, results are long-lasting and do not require ongoing maintenance sessions, though maintaining a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle will help preserve your smoother contours.

Can I Combine Aveli with Other Procedures?

Yes, Aveli can be combined with complementary body contouring or skin rejuvenation treatments, such as liposuction , tummy tucks , or butt lifts , to achieve smoother, more contoured skin. Dr. Pathak will create a specialized treatment plan that safely integrates Aveli with other procedures tailored to your goals and anatomy.

What Are the Risks Associated with Aveli?

Aveli is considered a safe and low-risk procedure when performed by a qualified, experienced provider. Possible side effects include temporary bruising, tenderness, swelling, or mild unevenness in the treated areas as the skin adjusts. These effects resolve on their own within a few weeks. Serious complications are rare, but as with any minimally invasive procedure, infection or prolonged swelling may occur if aftercare instructions are not followed.

Introduction

Introduction to Aveli

For many people, cellulite remains one of the most stubborn and frustrating cosmetic concerns, unaffected by diet, exercise, or even topical treatments. Aveli offers a breakthrough solution by targeting the root cause of cellulite rather than just its surface appearance. This minimally invasive, FDA-cleared treatment provides long-term smoothing and visible improvement in the dimpled texture of the thighs and buttocks with just one in-office session.

At The Aesthetic Room, patients in Purchase and throughout Westchester County, Greenwich, New York, and the greater Tri-State areas can experience Aveli, performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon known for delivering results that leave patients excited and satisfied.

What is Aveli?

Aveli is an FDA-approved cellulite-reduction procedure that directly targets the structural causes of cellulite beneath the skin. Unlike creams or non-invasive devices that temporarily smooth the surface, Aveli uses a specialized handheld device that allows Dr. Pathak to precisely locate and release the fibrous bands that pull the skin downward, creating the dimpled appearance of cellulite.

During treatment, the device is inserted just beneath the skin through tiny incisions, allowing Dr. Pathak to identify and release the problematic septae while leaving the surrounding tissue intact. This targeted mechanical release creates an immediate smoothing effect on the skin’s surface.

Who Are the Best Candidates for Aveli?

The right candidates in Purchase, Westchester County, and Greenwich, CT for Aveli are healthy adults who struggle with cellulite dimples on the thighs, buttocks, or lower body that do not improve with diet or exercise. Candidates should have good overall skin tone and elasticity, as Aveli specifically targets cellulite, not loose skin or excess fat.

You may be an excellent candidate if you:

Have visible dimples that remain even when the skin is stretched
Desire a smoother skin texture on the thighs or buttocks
Maintain a stable weight and active lifestyle
Prefer a minimally invasive treatment with lasting results

Aveli can be performed as a stand-alone procedure or in combination with other body contouring treatments.

What Are the Benefits of Aveli?

Some of its most notable benefits include long-term results in a single session, as Aveli severs the actual fibrous septae that cause dimples, enabling lasting improvement, unlike creams or energy-based devices that provide only temporary results. Despite the treatment being highly targeted (Dr. Pathak can visually confirm which fibrous bands are responsible for dimples and treat them individually), the recovery time is less intense than one might expect.

Results appear gradually as swelling subsides, and by directly addressing one of the most common and stubborn concerns among women, Aveli helps patients feel more comfortable and confident in their appearance.

What’s the First Step?

If you’re in Purchase, New York, or the greater Tri-State area and are interested in seeing what Aveli can do for you, the first step is a consultation with The Aesthetic Room. During your appointment, Dr. Pathak will perform a detailed evaluation of your skin and cellulite patterns to identify the underlying cause of the dimpling. He’ll discuss your cosmetic goals, review your medical history, and explain how Aveli works in detail, including what you can expect before, during, and after the procedure. If Aveli is determined to be the ideal solution, your procedure can be scheduled soon after.

What to Expect on the Day of Aveli Treatment

Aveli is performed as an in-office procedure under local anesthesia. After marking the treatment areas, Dr. Pathak will numb the skin and make a few tiny incisions. Using the Aveli handpiece, he carefully inserts the device just beneath the surface, locating and releasing the fibrous septae responsible for each visible dimple.

Each release produces an immediate smoothing effect on the skin above, and the process continues until all targeted dimples have been treated. The procedure usually takes about 45 to 75 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas being addressed.

After the treatment, a small dressing or compression garment is applied to minimize swelling, and you’ll be able to go home the same day with aftercare instructions.

Aveli Recovery

Your Guide to Post-Aveli Care

You may experience mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising in the treated areas for several days to a couple of weeks, which are normal and part of the body’s healing process. Most patients return to work and light activities within 24 to 48 hours, though strenuous exercise is recommended to be avoided for about 1 to 2 weeks.

Small incision sites heal quickly, leaving little to no visible scarring. Over the next few weeks, swelling will gradually diminish, revealing smoother, more even skin. While some improvements may be visible immediately, the final results become most apparent within 1 to 3 months as your skin settles.

How Much Does Aveli Cost in New York and the Tri-State Area?

The cost of Aveli in Purchase, Westchester County, Greenwich, New York, and the greater Tri-State area varies based on the treatment area size, the extent of cellulite correction, and any complementary procedures. During your consultation, Dr. Pathak’s team will provide a customized estimate based on your goals and anatomy, and package options or combination pricing may be available for patients receiving additional body contouring or skin-tightening treatments at the same time.
