The short answer
What is Avéli?
Avéli is an FDA-cleared, minimally invasive cellulite treatment for adult women. Cellulite dimples happen where thin, fibrous bands under the skin tether it down. At Cool Contours, your provider finds those bands and releases them with a small handheld device, so the skin can lie smoother. It's one treatment, done in our Arlington office.1

Cellulite, explained
What's true about cellulite (and what isn't)
If you've tried the creams, the scrubs and the gadgets, you're not doing anything wrong. They just don't reach what's causing the dimples.
What people think
Cellulite means you're out of shape.
The truth
Cellulite isn't a fitness or diet problem. Up to 90% of women have it, at every weight and activity level.2 It comes down to how skin is anchored underneath.
What people think
The right cream will smooth it out.
The truth
Dimples form where fibrous bands pull the skin down from below. Anything you rub on the surface can't reach those bands. Releasing them is what lets the skin smooth out.
What people think
Nothing actually works on cellulite.
The truth
Avéli is FDA-cleared and was studied in a multicenter clinical trial, with results followed through one year after a single treatment.1
“I’ve spent thousands to try to get rid of my cellulite… My doctor told me Avéli® was a ‘one-and-done’ treatment and he was right!”
Angela B., Avéli patient
How Avéli works
Find it, release it, check it
Your provider treats one dimple at a time, so every band that's causing a dimple gets addressed.
1. Map each dimple
We mark every dimple you want treated and locate the band underneath it.
2. Release the band
After the area is numbed, a slim device goes just under the skin and releases the band.
3. Confirm it's released
Before finishing, your provider checks that each band is fully released.

The questions everyone asks
Avéli®, answered
What is Avéli and how does it work?
Avéli® is an FDA-cleared, minimally invasive treatment for cellulite on the buttocks and thighs. Cellulite dimples form where fibrous bands under the skin pull it down. Your provider finds each band, releases it with a small handheld device, and checks the release so the skin can smooth out.
How many Avéli treatments will I need?
Just one. Avéli is a one-time treatment. Results are long term, lasting at least a year. Maintenance may be needed if the fibrous bands regrow, and that varies from patient to patient.
Does Avéli hurt, and what is recovery like?
Each area is numbed before treatment. The most common side effects are mild pain within the first 24 hours and bruising and tenderness to the touch, which typically resolve within 30 days. Some patients return to normal activities within one day, and most within a week.
When will I see results, and how long do they last?
Skin looks smoother as you heal. Results are long term, lasting at least a year. Maintenance may be needed if the fibrous bands regrow, which varies from patient to patient.
Is Avéli the same as CoolSculpting?
No. CoolSculpting® reduces stubborn fat with controlled cooling. Avéli treats cellulite dimples by releasing the bands under the skin. They address different concerns and can be part of the same plan.
Who is a good candidate for Avéli?
Adult women with cellulite dimples on the buttocks or thighs. Your free consultation confirms whether Avéli is right for you.
Do cellulite creams or gadgets work?
Cellulite is caused by bands beneath the skin, so products applied to the surface can’t reach the cause. Avéli releases the bands from underneath.
How much does Avéli cost in Arlington, VA?
Avéli® is $2,999 per area, all-inclusive, which includes our current 40% off promotion (regularly $4,998). One area covers the glutes and the back of the thighs, and we confirm your plan at your free consultation. Flexible monthly payment plans are available.
