Avéli™️ in Newport Beach

Tired of stubborn cellulite dimples? Experience Avéli™️, the first-of-its-kind treatment that tackles cellulite from the inside out. Offered by Dr. Goretti Ho Taghva in Newport Beach, CA, one in-office visit provides long-lasting, visibly smoother skin. Say hello to confidence and goodbye to cellulite!

Avéli is a minimally invasive, FDA-cleared, revolutionary treatment that can significantly reduce the appearance of cellulite on your thighs and buttocks. Unlike many other cellulite treatments, Avéli offers a precise and targeted approach that minimizes damage to surrounding tissue.

What is Cellulite?

Cellulite is a common cosmetic concern that affects millions of people, particularly women. Nearly 90% of women will be affected by cellulite at some point in their lives. It’s characterized by the appearance of dimpled or lumpy skin, often on the thighs, buttocks, and abdomen. While it’s not a medical condition, cellulite can be frustrating and aesthetically unappealing for many.

Cellulite can have a significant impact on self-esteem and body image. Many people feel self-conscious about the appearance of cellulite, leading to feelings of insecurity and embarrassment. This can affect relationships, social interactions, and overall quality of life.

What Causes Cellulite?

A lot of factors can contribute to cellulite, including:

  • Genetics: A predisposition to cellulite can be inherited.
  • Aging: Our skin loses elasticity as we age, making it more susceptible to cellulite.
  • Hormones: Hormonal fluctuations, such as those that occur during puberty, pregnancy, and menopause, can contribute to cellulite formation.
  • Lifestyle factors: Poor diet, lack of exercise, and smoking can also contribute to the development of cellulite.
Avéli helps maintain the structural integrity of your skin by leaving healthy septa intact.

How Does Avéli™️️️️ Treat Cellulite?

The Avéli device uses a unique hook with a retractable blade, allowing your Orange County aesthetic professional to accurately identify and target the specific septa responsible for cellulite dimpling. Once the dimple-causing septa are cut, Dr. Ho Taghva uses the hook to double-check that they’ve been cut completely through. By selectively severing these fibrous bands, Avéli releases the tension that contributes to the uneven appearance of the skin. 

One of the key advantages of Avéli is its precision. Unlike other treatments that can damage surrounding tissue, Avéli’s targeted approach minimizes side effects and ensures a more natural-looking result. Avéli helps maintain the structural integrity of your skin by leaving healthy septa intact, preventing excessive sagging or unevenness.

Patients get real-time confirmation of the release and can see long-lasting noticeable improvement in the appearance of cellulite

Avéli cellulite treatment in Newport Beach is a great option for anyone fed up with stubborn cellulite dimples. This non-surgical treatment targets the root cause, helping you get smoother, more even-looking skin.

If you’re in good health and mainly worried about cellulite on your thighs and buttocks, Avéli could be a perfect fit. Remember, that while it’s great for reducing cellulite, it won’t tighten loose skin or drastically change your body shape.

For anyone looking to improve skin texture without the downtime of surgery, Avéli is definitely worth considering. Consult a qualified medical professional to learn more about Avéli and determine if it suits your needs.

What Can I Treat With Avéli™️️️️?

Avéli is a treatment that specifically targets cellulite on your thighs and butt. It works by addressing the dimples that make your skin look uneven.

Important to note:

  • Avéli doesn’t tighten sagging skin or get rid of fat pockets.
  • It’s not used for the creases around your butt.

In addition to its effectiveness in reducing cellulite, Avéli also offers several other benefits:

  • Minimal downtime: Most patients can resume normal activities shortly after the procedure.
  • Long-lasting results: The effects of Avéli can be long-lasting, showing a significant improvement in cellulite appearance.
  • Natural-looking results: Avéli’s targeted approach helps preserve the natural contours of your skin, ensuring a subtle and aesthetically pleasing outcome.

The Consultation For Avéli™️️️️

To determine whether Avéli is right for you, Dr. Ho Taghva will meet with you to discuss your aesthetic goals and needs.

During the consultation, she will review your medical history to ensure you don’t have any active conditions that may interfere with the procedure. She will also examine your areas of concern to ascertain whether Avéli is the best treatment for you. In addition, Dr. Ho Taghva will explain the procedure and answer any questions you may have.

What to Expect During an Avéli™️️️️ Cellulite Treatment

Your Orange County Avéli cellulite treatment will take place in a treatment room at LEA Plastic Surgery in Newport Beach. Patients can expect a clean, comfortable environment and exceptional care with Dr. Ho Taghva and her aesthetic team. 

One of our dedicated aesthetic professionals will first administer local anesthesia to minimize discomfort. Pro-Nox™ is also available for patients needing additional comfort. Then, Dr. Ho Taghva will use the Avéli handheld device to target specific cellulite dimples. The small blade will be guided under the skin to release the septa bands that affect the dimpled areas.

Dr. Goretti Ho Taghva at LEA Plastic Surgery can determine whether you are a good candidate for the procedure

When Will I See Results?

Soon after the Avéli treatment, you’ll start seeing a difference in your skin. Once the swelling and bruising go down, you’ll notice that your skin looks smoother and more even.

The best results usually show about a month after the treatment. That’s when you’ll begin to really appreciate how much smoother and even your skin looks.

How Long Does Avéli™️️️️ Last?

Avéli is designed to give you long-lasting results. The clinical study for FDA clearance showed that people who get Avéli can still see a difference in their cellulite a year later.

Aftercare and Healing

The Avéli procedure involves making small incisions in the skin to access the septa bands, so your body will need some time to heal. However, most people find the incisions are so small that they heal quickly, and many can return to normal activities within 24 to 48 hours.

In the first few days after the procedure, it’s best to avoid strenuous exercise, swimming, or anything that could irritate the skin in the first few days after the procedure. You might experience some tenderness, bruising, or swelling, but ice packs can help reduce discomfort and ease swelling.

Can I Combine Avéli™ With Other Procedures?

Liposuction

Liposuction is a fantastic way to sculpt your body by removing stubborn fat from areas like the tummy, thighs, or arms. It’s a popular option as it’s super effective at creating a more defined shape.

There’s a misconception that liposuction removes cellulite, but that’s not the case. Liposuction only removes fat, not the connective tissue causing cellulite. That’s where Avéli comes in. It directly targets the root of cellulite, making a big difference in how your skin looks. Combining liposuction with Avéli tackles both unwanted fat and cellulite for Newport Beach women.

Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)

Want a booty that turns heads? Whether they’re hitting one of the beautiful SoCal beaches in a bikini or a date night in a tight dress, many Orange County women feel self-conscious about having a flat backside. A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a great way to add curves and shape to your butt.

While a BBL can give you that lifted, fuller look, it doesn’t address cellulite. That’s where Avéli can help. By combining these two treatments, you can achieve a booty that is both lifted and cellulite-free.

You may find that your skin is tender to the touch or slightly bruised or swollen

How Much Does Avéli™️️️️ Cost in Newport Beach?

According to RealSelf, the average cost of Avéli is around $4,825, but it can vary from $3,750 to $6,500. The price depends on how big of an area we’re treating and whether you’re combining it with other procedures.

We’ll work with you to create a personalized treatment plan and pricing that fits your needs and budget.

Is Avéli™️️️️ Safe?

Avéli is a safe and effective treatment for cellulite on your thighs and butt. It’s FDA-approved and has helped many people get rid of those pesky dimples.

While it’s generally safe, like any medical procedure, there’s always a small risk of side effects.

Clinical study data shows that most Avéli™ patients experience minimal side effects, if any. The most common side effect was mild pain on the first day. For many patients, this subsided within 24 hours. Other potential side effects include bruising, tenderness, and small areas of firmness, which typically resolve within a few weeks, or in rare cases, a few months.

In very rare cases, there can be more serious side effects from Avéli, like:

  • Fat necrosis (when fat cells die)
  • Hematoma (a blood clot under the skin)
  • Changes in skin color (it might get lighter or darker)
  • Skin irritation

Before you get Avéli, it’s important to be honest about your health. If you have skin infections, uncontrolled diabetes, or are pregnant, it might not be the right choice for you.

Frequently Asked Questions About Avéli™️️️️

How to prepare for Avéli™️️️️

To get ready for Avéli, here’s what you’ll need to do:

  • Try to eat healthy foods in the days leading up to your procedure
  • Dr. Ho Taghva or someone from her team of experts will tell you which medications and supplements to avoid before and after the treatment. Blood thinners can make you bruise more easily.
  • Drink plenty of water the day before your treatment to help your body prepare to heal itself.
How long does Avéli™️️️️ take?

The entire procedure only takes about an hour including the local anesthesia and procedure itself. The exact timing of the procedure will vary for each patient depending on the personalized plan from Dr. Taghva.

Does Avéli™️️️️ hurt?

We’ll apply local anesthesia before the Avéli treatment, so you shouldn’t feel any pain or discomfort. There may be a slight pressure when the blade enters the skin and you may feel the septa band releasing. After the treatment, once the anesthesia wears off, the targeted areas may feel tender or sore.

How many sessions will I need?

One of the most appealing aspects of the Avéli procedure is that it is designed to take just one session. You may be asked to return for a follow-up consultation, but there is no need to have multiple treatment sessions.

“I am absolutely satisfied with the results and now am proud of my smooth dimple-free skin. My summer vacation is coming up and I am ready to wear my new bikinis.”
