Are there any cellulite treatments for the inner and front thighs? (Photo)

Question

I read about Aveli, cellfina, qwo, etc. They are all recommended for the butt and back of thighs. This is quite saddening as I have it in my inner thighs and front thighs. Can anything be done?

Mary-Margaret Kober, MD · Answer

Yes! Aveli in combination with ATTIVA S.I.H. is an incredible combination. Having previously used other cellulite treatments including Qwo and Celfina, I can confidently say that Aveli is superior for the treatment of cellulite. Aveli allows the surgeon to verify that all of the fibrous bands contributing to cellulite dimple have been treated, and this verification is key to preventing the cellulite from returning. There is often a component of skin laxity in addition to cellulite that contributes to the irregularities. ATTIVA S.I.H. uses radio frequency energy to stimulate collagen and elastin. The synergistic effect of Aveli and ATTIVA S.I.H. leads to enhanced skin texture, reduced cellulite visibility, and improved overall skin elasticity, offering patients a non-invasive and efficient solution for achieving smoother, youthful-looking skin.- Dr. Maggie Kober

Thank you for your inquiry! Aveli is used to treat cellulite on posterior thighs and lateral thighs. For any skin laxity, texture issues or dimpling to the anterior thighs, morpheus8 is a great laser for skin tightening usually performed in a session of 3 and performed by an aesthetician.

Cellulite is a very common problem that affects up to 80-90% of women. There some options that help treat cellulite, and of those options, some are better than others. Ultrasound, lasers and various injections (like Qwo) and now Aveli have all been used to address cellulite. Qwo has been used with good results, however was recently pulled off the market for prolonged bruising. Aveli is also a newer technology and technique that uses a special instrument to mechanically disrupt the fibrous septa that cause cellulite. Aveli does not require any fancy machines. The added benefit of the Aveli procedure is that you can verify all the septa causing cellulite are addressed as the procedure is being performed and before the procedure is finished. The procedure is done under local anesthesia in the office as an outpatient procedure (although it can be combined with bigger surgeries in the operating room).

This may not be cellulite on the front of your thighs. It is likely just aging skin which can look like cellulite. This can occur with weight loss but also natural aging. As collagen and elastin is declining with age the turgor of our skin goes down leaving laxity. If you pull your skin upward and this smooths out, you will have a better idea if this is just aging skin. Depending on the severity Renuvion may be an option or you may have to consider skin excision such as a thigh lift.
