Aveli in Salt Lake City & Park City, UT

Avéli is a non-invasive cellulite removal treatment, making it so that patients do not have to worry about a recovery period at all. At most, patients will experience tenderness or swelling within the treated area for the first two days after their procedure. After 48 hours, most Avéli patients are able to return to their normal routines. Overall, full healing from Avéli treatments can take up to 30 days, but no special actions other than avoiding strenuous physical activity is required. Depending on your unique health condition, Dr. Saltz may provide you with specific aftercare guidelines to help you achieve a successful recovery.

No. Avéli is designed to provide long-lasting results after one in-office procedure. During a s single procedure, cellulite dimples can be eliminated. Multiple sessions are not typically required.

You can expect to see improvement in your cellulite almost immediately after treatment. However, continued improvements in your skin can be noticed in the 30 days following your treatment. This is mostly due to the fact that swelling and bruising will have subsided by the end of one month, allowing you to see more clearly the improvements Avéli provided to the skin in your treated area.

Patients have reported that the visible reduction of their cellulite after receiving Avéli treatments can last up to one year.

Maintaining Avéli results primarily involves supporting your skin and body with healthy habits. Keeping weight stable, staying active, and maintaining good muscle tone can help your results look smoother over time. Hydrated skin and good circulation also support a refined appearance. While the released septa won't grow back, ongoing skincare, such as lymphatic massage, radiofrequency treatments, or body contouring, may help enhance overall tone as you age.

Preparation is simple. Your provider may recommend avoiding blood-thinning medications or supplements (like ibuprofen, aspirin, vitamin E, or fish oil) for a few days before treatment to minimize bruising. Plan to wear loose, comfortable clothing, and arrange transportation if advised. You may also need to avoid heavy exercise and alcohol the day before your appointment.

Scarring is minimal to none. Avéli requires only a very small incision, typically just a few millimeters, to insert the device. These tiny entry points usually heal well and become barely noticeable over time.

Avéli is an in-office procedure. It is performed under local anesthesia in a comfortable outpatient setting, and patients typically go home shortly after their appointment. No hospital stay or general anesthesia is required.

Unlike non-invasive treatments that focus on skin tightening or reducing fat, Avéli addresses cellulite at its structural source by releasing the fibrous bands beneath the skin. This leads to more immediate, noticeable, and long-lasting improvement in true cellulite dimpling. Non-invasive options may require multiple sessions and often provide superficial or temporary results, whereas Avéli offers a one-time, mechanically precise solution.
