Cellulite is the dimpled, uneven texture that often appears on the thighs, buttocks, and sometimes the abdomen or arms. It’s a common cosmetic concern—affecting up to 90% of women at some point—and occurs when fat deposits push through the connective tissue beneath the skin.
Several factors contribute to cellulite:
Today’s cellulite reduction methods are more advanced and effective than ever. At Bellus Medical Arts, we exclusively use the Aveli system—a minimally invasive device designed to address cellulite at the structural level, providing lasting improvement and requiring little downtime.
Aveli is an innovative, FDA-cleared treatment specifically developed to reduce the appearance of cellulite on the buttocks and thighs. Unlike surface-level creams or temporary massage devices, Aveli targets the fibrous bands (septae) beneath the skin that cause dimpling.
During the Aveli procedure, your provider uses a specialized handheld device to precisely identify and release the connective bands responsible for cellulite. This minimally invasive approach directly addresses the root cause, allowing the skin to smooth out and become even.
Aveli is ideal for reducing cellulite on the following areas:
Your treatment plan can be tailored to meet your unique needs and aesthetic goals.
While liposuction removes fat deposits, it does not address the fibrous bands that cause cellulite. Surgical options can be invasive and require a lengthy recovery. In contrast, Aveli is minimally invasive, targets the underlying cause, and is performed in-office with local anesthesia for maximum comfort and convenience.
Your journey begins with a personalized consultation at Bellus Medical Arts. We’ll evaluate your concerns, discuss your goals, and create a tailored treatment plan. You’ll receive pre-procedure instructions to optimize your results.
Aveli treatments are completed in about an hour. After local anesthesia is administered, your provider will use the Aveli device to identify and release individual fibrous bands. Most clients experience only minimal discomfort. You may feel slight pressure or tugging as the device releases the bands, but the procedure is designed to be comfortable, thanks to the use of local anesthesia.
A single session typically takes between 45 and 75 minutes, depending on the area(s) treated.
After your Aveli session, you can expect some mild bruising or soreness. Most patients resume normal activities within 24–48 hours. Mild swelling or bruising usually resolves within a week. You’ll receive full aftercare instructions to support optimal healing. Improvements are often visible within a month, with full results developing over two to three months as your skin smooths out and heals.
You’re likely a candidate for Aveli if you:
Bellus Medical Arts customizes every plan to your individual anatomy and goals, ensuring you receive the most effective, targeted treatment possible.
Aveli’s unique mechanism releases the bands beneath your skin, resulting in a visibly smoother, firmer, and more toned appearance. Many patients report feeling more comfortable in their skin, enjoying clothing and activities they previously avoided due to cellulite. Aveli stands out for its clinical results, delivering effective cellulite reduction with minimal downtime and no need for general anesthesia.
Aveli treatment costs in McKinney typically range from $2,500 to $5,000 per session, depending on the number of areas treated and the complexity of your case. Financing options are available to help you fit your treatment into your budget.

Our experienced providers work closely with you to ensure your comfort and satisfaction at every step.

Most patients achieve their goals with a single session. However, your provider will advise you if additional treatments are recommended.
Minimal downtime is expected, allowing you to return to work and your daily activities within one to two days.
Aveli permanently releases treated bands; however, new bands can develop over time. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle supports longer-lasting results.
Yes, Aveli can be safely combined with other treatments, depending on your goals and timing. Many clients combine their cellulite treatment with additional procedures, such as chemical peels or microneedling, to enhance overall skin tone and appearance. While Aveli targets the structural causes of dimpling, chemical peels improve skin texture on the surface, and microneedling can stimulate collagen production for firmer, healthier skin.
Some clients also add body contouring procedures to address unwanted fat or relaxing services, such as hot stone massage, to enhance post-treatment comfort. Neurotoxins may also be used on the face to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, especially around the eyes and crow’s feet. Other treatments, such as vaginal tightening, can be integrated as part of a broader rejuvenation plan. We customize your treatment strategy based on your goals, skin condition, and skin types, using technologies such as RF energy to complement your cellulite reduction. Our team will guide you through your options to ensure you achieve your desired results safely and effectively.
Aveli offers a different level of correction than non-invasive treatment options, such as EMTONE. While EMTONE combines radiofrequency technology with targeted pressure energy to promote smoother skin and skin rejuvenation, it typically requires multiple sessions to achieve results. It is best suited for mild to moderate cellulite or specific concerns. The EMTONE device helps stimulate circulation and collagen, but it does not release the fibrous septae that cause deeper dimpling. Aveli, on the other hand, directly targets and releases those connective bands in a single session, delivering more dramatic and lasting results. Depending on your goals, skin condition, and treatment time availability, your provider may recommend a single method or a combination of techniques to achieve optimal results.
The longevity of your results depends on the type of procedure and how well you maintain your outcomes through lifestyle. In most cases, body contouring results are long-lasting, especially when combined with a healthy lifestyle. While treatments like Aveli or fat reduction technologies can improve the skin’s appearance, your body will continue to age naturally. To maintain results, we recommend regular skincare, hydration, and follow-up treatments as needed. We’ll help you create a plan that supports your long-term goals and overall confidence.
