Avéli® Cellulite Reduction in Corona, CA

Cellulite is a depression of any shape or size with defined edges seen on the surface of the skin, typically on the buttocks or thighs. A major underlying cause of cellulite are the fibrous bands that tether your skin to the structures below. These bands are called septae. Some septa are good (and you want them as connective tethers), but others stiffen or shrink over time and lead to the dimples we see in the surface called cellulite. It's important to distinguish cellulite from other concerns like laxity or localized fat, which we can talk you through during a consultation in our Corona, CA office. You should also know that cellulite is not your fault (genetics and hormones play a role), and you are not alone - up to 90% of women have it! At The Plastics Doc, Dr. Samuel Salcedo provides nonsurgical cellulite reduction with FDA cleared Avéli™ for a visible improvement in the appearance of cellulite. Get in touch with our Corona, CA facility to set up an appointment and learn more info about the outstanding improvements you could obtain.

A personalized cellulite reduction procedure with our cutting-edge technology at The Plastics Doc can provide outstanding results with considerable benefits, including:

• Smoothing lumpy, uneven skin
• Long lasting results
• Minimal downtime required (some swelling and bruising is expected)

Cellulite reduction could be an optimal option for Corona, CA individuals who fall within an approved weight range and desire to reduce cellulite on their buttocks or thighs. This treatment will help those of practically any age, although some groups of patients can achieve better results than when compared to others. Those with optimal outcomes are usually individuals with:

• Noticeable cellulite dimples
• An interest in results that last a long time
• Practical ideas for their outcome
• Generally healthy and a sturdy immune system

Prior to the procedure, Dr. Salcedo will utilize a marker to distinguish the treatment areas (laxity versus cellulite). Following this, localized anesthesia will be used to numb the area being improved, and then the very small Avéli device will be introduced into the skin. Avéli allows for a high degree of precision and verification that fibrous bands are completely released, resulting in a noticeable difference.This procedure can typically be completed in under an hour. In most instances, patients should have the ability to return to their normal schedule one day after the procedure.

Where does cellulite come from?
A major underlying cause of cellulite are the fibrous bands that tether your skin to the structures below. These bands are called septae. Some septa are good (and you want them as connective tethers), but others stiffen or shrink over time and lead to the dimples we see in the surface called cellulite. It's important to distinguish cellulite from other concerns like laxity or localized fat. Cellulite is not your fault (genetics and hormones play a role), and you are not alone - up to 90% of women have it!

Are cellulite treatments painful?
Treatments are very well tolerated. We administer local anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout your procedure. Most of the patients at The Plastics Doc are able to be on their phone or resting during the procedure with minimal to no pain.

How quickly will I see improvement in my cellulite? 
Avéli cellulite reduction results should be visible once swelling and bruising subsides. By one-month post-procedure you should start to see the effects of the procedure. 

Can I work out after the procedure? 
It is recommended to avoid strenuous activity or workouts for about a week after the procedure to allow the area to heal. Light activity is ok within 24 hours.
