Avéli™ is an FDA-cleared, minimally invasive procedure that treats cellulite by targeting the root cause — the tight fibrous bands under the skin called septa. These bands pull down on the skin and create the dimpling effect commonly seen on the buttocks and thighs. Avéli™ works by releasing those bands to create a smoother skin surface.

Unlike creams, massage tools, or energy-based treatments that temporarily smooth the skin's surface, Avéli™ targets the underlying structural cause of cellulite — the tight fibrous bands beneath the skin. Using a handheld device, Dr. Rieger can precisely release these bands to reduce dimpling at the source. The procedure is performed at an accredited surgical center, not in-office, and most patients see long-lasting improvement after just one treatment, though individual results may vary and additional treatments may be considered.

véli™ is ideal for adult women with visible cellulite dimples on the thighs or buttocks. The best candidates are in good overall health, at or near their goal weight, and looking for a long-term solution to true dimple-type cellulite—not skin laxity or fat deposits. It’s not recommended for women who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning significant weight changes.

Avéli™ offers a targeted, long-lasting approach to cellulite reduction for women in Andover, Derby, Eastborough, and surrounding Kansas communities. Unlike surface treatments that only address skin texture, Avéli™ works below the surface to release the fibrous bands responsible for dimpling on the thighs and buttocks. This minimally invasive procedure is performed by Dr. James Rieger at an accredited surgical center near Wichita and requires little downtime. Many patients notice visible improvement after a single session, and Avéli™ can be combined with other body contouring procedures for enhanced results. It's an ideal option for women in the Andover area seeking a more effective, structural solution to stubborn cellulite.
