While cellulite is a natural part of the human body, many women struggle with their self-image and confidence because of the appearance of lumpy skin. Avéli is a minimally invasive body sculpting procedure that board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Danielle DeLuca-Pytell can use to reduce the appearance of cellulite in the buttocks and thighs of adult women. An Avéli cellulite treatment in Michigan could have a long-lasting impact on your comfort and self-esteem by creating a smooth, even feel across your skin.
Common misconceptions about cellulite may lead you to believe it is caused by excess fat or a loss of elasticity in your skin. Cellulite is actually produced by fibrous bands called septa that tether your skin to the tissues and structures underneath it. This creates the dimples on the surface of your skin that we call cellulite.
While many treatments target cellulite from the outside, Avéli is a minimally invasive procedure that manually releases the septa bands responsible for this lumpy texture on the buttocks and thighs. During the procedure, Dr. DeLuca-Pytell makes a small incision to access these septa bands. She then uses the Avéli device to make precise cuts across these bands, removing cellulite and smoothing the skin.
We perform Aveli treatments in Michigan using local anesthesia and Pro-Nox (if desired), and a treatment session typically takes about an hour. The length of time may vary depending on the areas you want to treat. During your initial consultation, we will work with you to develop a personalized procedure plan incorporating Avéli cellulite treatments to target your specific concerns.
There is little to no downtime after an Avéli cellulite reduction treatment at our Michigan office. Some patients can return to their regular activities within one day of their procedure. However, we recommend avoiding strenuous activities for at least several days.
During the healing process, you may experience mild pain, bruising, and tenderness. These symptoms should mostly fade within a few days and fully resolve within a month or two. Some patients may continue to experience small areas of firmness that are usually not visible or painful. These pockets will naturally smooth out and resolve themselves over several months.
The results of your Avéli cellulite treatment will be visible once swelling and bruising subside, which usually takes about thirty days. Many patients continue to see a reduction in cellulite a year after their treatment session. We will provide post-procedure care recommendations and safety information to ensure you are confident and prepared for your treatment session.
I am a wife, mom, and native Metro Detroiter who loves 80’s music. Chances are, I am a lot like you. After almost fifteen years of plastic surgery practice, I opened my own solo practice in January 2019.
My goal is to offer high-quality plastic surgery in a relaxed and comfortable environment that doesn’t feel like most doctor’s offices. A patient myself, l know how it feels to be on the other side of the examination table. I have designed an office with that in mind.
My own medical experience nudged me to change career paths from the arts to medicine. It wasn’t until after I graduated from college that I decided to pursue becoming a doctor. After a postbaccalaureate year of study, I applied to medical school and chose Michigan State University (Go Green!) College of Human Medicine for its unique patient-based curriculum…
