My Aveli Experience

2001MommaFebruary 12, 2023

$3,750

I’d like to state the doctor was great. As for Aveli it was super painful for 2 weeks after. I’m not sure it’s worth the money or pain. I don’t really see the difference I just as hoping for. I know a lot of my problem is skin laxity.

Thank you for sharing. I understand that it is probably not the results you were hoping for though I do see much difference. You are right, it really has to do with more skin laxity. Hopefully they can come up with a treatment for that next for all of us. Did they price it out per spot treatment?? Just curious how you got to that price. Thanks again

Hi,
No they don’t do it by spot. At the time thet was the price they charged for thighs and butt.

I am two months out now and I would definitely say it’s not worth it. Between the cost and the pain I don’t see a significant difference. This is more for someone that doesn’t have a lot of cellulite.

This is my 3 month post op results and my final update. It’s been 12 weeks and this is my final results . I was hoping for better results. For as much money and pain as this was, I was hoping to get rid of more cellulite. this is probably a good procedure for someone who doesn’t have that much.

That’s so disappointing. I was hopeful that this treatment would help. I have the same issue as you (with butt/back of thigh wavy & dimpled cellulite). I have tried Profound, Morpheus & didn’t get results either. So frustrating! Thanks for posting as I think I will not waste my money. Think I may try Thermage FX, heard that can help with skin tightening.

I feel like it’s a tremendous difference from before! Before you had a lot of cellulite and it stood out. Now your butt looks like a normal but with a little cellulite!
