AVELI

What is Aveli?

Aveli is a minimally invasive cellulite treatment designed to release the fibrous bands under the skin that cause dimpling on the thighs and buttocks. Using a handheld device, Dr. Merriman can identify and precisely sever these bands in a single in-office procedure, helping create a noticeably smoother, more even skin surface.

Benefits of Aveli

• Long-lasting improvement after just one treatment
• Minimal downtime and recovery
• Targets cellulite at the structural level
• Smoother, firmer-looking skin
• Boosts body confidence and comfort in your own skin

Am I a Good Candidate for Aveli?

If you’re a healthy adult bothered by cellulite dimples on your thighs or buttocks, Aveli may be right for you. Ideal candidates are close to their goal weight and want noticeable results without extensive downtime. A personalized consultation with Dr. Merriman will determine if Aveli is the best option for your aesthetic goals.

What to Expect During Aveli

Your Aveli treatment will be performed in our private outpatient surgery suite in Valdosta. After local anesthesia is administered, Dr. Merriman will use the Aveli device beneath the skin to locate and release the fibrous septa responsible for cellulite. The procedure typically takes about an hour, and most patients describe only minimal discomfort.

Aveli Recovery and Results

Some mild bruising or tenderness is normal after Aveli, but most patients resume normal activities within 24–48 hours. As swelling resolves over the following weeks, you’ll begin to see a smoother, firmer appearance where cellulite was once visible. Results can last for years with a healthy lifestyle.
