What Is Avéli?
Cellulite often develops on the legs, stomach, or buttocks, creating a bumpy or “cottage cheese” appearance on the skin. This condition, caused by fat cells building up beneath the skin’s surface, can be challenging to tackle without professional help. At Copper Aesthetics & Plastic Surgery, we offer nonsurgical cellulite reduction treatments using advanced Avéli™ technology, delivering noticeable improvements in the appearance of cellulite. Contact our offices in Traverse City or Petoskey, MI, to schedule a consultation and learn more about how this innovative treatment can help you achieve smoother, more confident skin.

Avéli Procedure
Before the procedure, the treatment areas will be marked to ensure precision. A local anesthetic will then be injected into the targeted region to ensure comfort during the procedure. Using the advanced Avéli™ wand, the treatment is performed beneath the skin.
Avéli™ is the only FDA approved, minimally invasive procedure that utilizes a handheld device to manually target and release the septa bands responsible for cellulite. These bands, which tether the skin and create the characteristic dimpling, are carefully identified and released in real-time using the wand. This precise approach provides immediate and long-lasting results.
The procedure typically takes less than an hour to complete. Most patients can return to their regular activities within a day, making it a convenient option for those seeking effective cellulite reduction without significant downtime.
A personalized cellulite reduction treatment using the advanced Avéli™ platform can deliver exceptional results. Patients at Copper Aesthetics & Plastic Surgery have experienced the following benefits:
- Smoothing uneven, dimpled skin for a more refined appearance
- Stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, essential for skin strength and elasticity
- Enhancing overall skin health, tone, and texture
- Achieving a smoother, more radiant look
- Long-lasting outcomes with minimal maintenance
- Little to no downtime, allowing for a quick return to daily activities
