At The Dermatology and Laser Group in New York City, we offer the latest innovations in cellulite treatment including Avéli for patients with dimples and Emtone and bisotimulatory fillers for patients with loose skin or ripples.

Avéli is a minimally invasive solution that directly targets the root cause of cellulite—fibrous bands that pull the skin down, creating that dimpled appearance. Avéli provides a lasting solution for smoother skin, helping you achieve the confidence you desire. Cellulite treatment is one of our most popular procedures, and among our favorite treatments to perform. Many of the women we treat find their cellulite distressing and it is extremely fulfilling to see the joy on patients’ faces at their follow-up visits when they see how much their cellulite has improved.

Happy Patients

Cellulite is a common condition, affecting up to 90% of women at some point in their lives. Most women report that cellulite negatively impacts their confidence and that they want an effective treatment. Our patients experience significant improvement in the appearance of cellulite after treatment, leading to a noticeable boost in confidence and satisfaction.

Safe and Effective

In the past, cellulite treatments were limited to ineffective creams or gels and minimally successful procedures. Today, advanced treatments like Avéli are highly effective, targeting the root cause of cellulite with precision. These modern treatments provide better, longer-lasting results compared to outdated methods.

Long Lasting Results

With new treatments like Avéli and biostimulatory fillers, especially when combined with Emtone, we can now offer long-lasting and even permanent results for many patients. These newer methods not only reduce the appearance of cellulite but some can also enhance skin smoothness and firmness, offering patients a solution that lasts.

The Dermatology and Laser Group has been at the forefront of cellulite treatment for over a decade. Dr. Akhavan is amongst the first physicians in New York City to offer effective cellulite solutions such as Avéli and Emtone, just as he was with older cellulite treatments such as Cellfina and Qwo.

Avéli

Avéli is our favorite procedure for treating cellulite dimples. This minimally invasive treatment targets the fibrous bands beneath the skin that cause dimpling, offering safe, effective, and often permanent results. It’s ideal for patients seeking a lasting solution.

Emtone

What some patients refer to as cellulite is not true cellulite dimples but is instead loose skin that can appear rippled or wavy cellulite. The best treatment for these patients is Emtone, a device that combines Radiofrequency (RF) and Targeted Pressure Energy (TPE) that smooths fat and improves collagen and elasticity in the skin. Dr. Akhavan has been a national leader in using Emtone for cellulite treatment.

Biostimulatory Fillers

Biostimulatory fillers like hyperdilute Radiesse are injected to stimulate collagen production, providing longer-lasting results for loose or rippled skin. When combined with Emtone, patients often see impressive improvements in skin texture.

Outdated Procedures

We no longer offer procedures such as Cellfina, Qwo, and Cellulaze as newer technologies, like Avéli and Emtone, have proven to be more effective and safer alternatives.

What is cellulite?

Up to 90% of women have cellulite and studies show that the majority of women want effective cellulite treatment options. Thankfully in recent years, there have been some new innovative procedures that have come to market.

Cellulite Facts

Cellulite is dimples or depressions in the skin, most common on the buttock and thighs of women in their 20’s-50’s. It is estimated that as many as 9 in 10 women have cellulite. It is thus important to understand that cellulite is the norm and does not need to be treated. However, 85% of women with cellulite say that it negatively impacts their life and that is why we are proud to offer the most advanced options for the treatment of cellulite in NYC.

Anatomy of Cellulite

The main cause of cellulite is changes in fibrous bands called septa that tether the skin to structures below. When normal, these bands are necessary and good, keeping the skin smooth and attached to underlying structures. Sometimes these tethers can harden and shrink, pulling down on the skin above and causing dimples. In other instances, these bands degrade and weaken the attachment between the skin and underlying structures causing loose skin that appears rippled or wavy.

How Does Cellulite Treatment Work?

For cellulite dimples caused by thickened and constricted septa, Avéli is the best treatment available. It surpasses previous options like Cellfina and Qwo, becoming the primary choice for long-term cellulite reduction.

Avéli is an FDA-cleared, one-time treatment designed to reduce dimpling on the buttocks and thighs. It precisely targets and releases the fibrous bands (septa) that cause cellulite without affecting the healthy bands that support the skin. The procedure, which takes about an hour, uses local anesthetic for a painless experience and delivers impressive, lasting results by addressing the root structural cause of cellulite.

Ideal candidates for Avéli cellulite treatment are individuals who have moderate to severe cellulite and are looking for a minimally invasive solution. Avéli is particularly effective for patients who have localized cellulite dimples on the thighs and buttocks. During your consultation, we will evaluate your condition to ensure you are a good candidate for the procedure. One of the reasons why The Dermatology and Laser Group is considered one of the best practices in New York City for cellulite treatment is that we have multiple treatment options available. If you are not a candidate for Avéli we may be able to find a better treatment option for your cellulite.

I normally never write reviews but I think this is important to share! I became a patient of Dr. Akhavan to reduce the pigmentation and texture of significant acne scarring on my back.Using techniques such as microneedling, growth factors, chemical peels, steroid injections the scarring has significantly improved and the treatment course is not even over yet. I am so happy to have a doctor who is extremely efficient, kind, and patient, listening to my concerns and offering the best treatment available. I highly recommend Dr. Akhavan to anyone seeking procedural microneedling and any other skin concerns.He is the best!!

Contacted and scheduled an appointment online at a time that was convenient for me. Advised upfront of the consultation fee and available parking garages in the area. Upon my arrival I was greeted courteously and professionally. Wait time was minimal and I was greeted by a medical assistant who formally checked me in and explained the procedure and any concerns. The physician then came in and introduced himself and explained the procedure and again asked if I had any concerns. I opted to go for the procedure [masseter Botox for relief of issues caused by bruxism or teeth grinding]. Minimal pain with injection. Told to not touch injection site for 4 hours. I would highly recommend this practice. In fact, I have already passed on the info to my dentist, orthodontist and my private physicians. Will be going back in 6 months to get a second injection.

Very cooperative very knowledgeable, Supportive staff

One of the best experiences. Dr Akhavan is an artist, he is professional and honest, never overdoes anything. Going to his office feels like a full spa experience.

Dr. Akhavan has skills of superb physician and artist. His work always looks natural. The staff are friendly and helpful. I highly recommend their services.

Dr. Akhavan was excellent! I'll continue to see him and his team for all of my dermatology needs.

Dr. Akhavan has built a wonderful practice where clients are valued and cared for. Every time I leave I feel more beautiful and healthy. He’ll tell you if he feels there is a better option. He’s not selling, he’s healing and beautifying!

Dr. Akhavan the best dermatologist. he is very professional, detailed, caring , knowledgeable and experienced. The best thing about Dr. Akhavan is he treats everyone the same , no matter whatever ethnicy and race you come from.

I always have a great experience here. The doctor and his nurses are very professional, knowledgeable and kind.

Heard about Avéli but looking for the full story? Look no further!

Dermatologist Arash Akhavan, MD, FAAD and plastic surgeon David Shafer, MD, FACS both weigh in on all the Avéli FAQs in this feature article from @byrdie

Byrdie’s Final Takeaway:
“Cellulite is common, but it’s treatable if that’s what you desire. While no solution exists to eliminate cellulite forever, doctors believe Avéli to be one of the more technologically advanced options to reduce dimples on the buttocks and thighs long-term. After a single treatment, you can expect results that last up to 12 months. Once the swelling and bruising subsides, the butt and thighs are dramatically smoother.”

Great results with Avéli for cellulite treatment on thighs for this patient in our NYC office.

Avéli has been most popular as a treatment for cellulite on the buttock area in our office, but we have also had great results on the upper part of the back and sides of the thighs. At two weeks post procedure the bruising is so mild for most patients that they are already ready to hit the beach! ⛱️🩱

Emtone is our favorite - either on its own or combined mixed and matched with other procedures.

The best procedure for:
- Rippled CellulIte
- Loose/Crepe-y Skin
- Patients wanting and overall smoother and tighter look.

Emtone can be the perfect add-on to Emsculpt for #tautandtoned appearance or combined with biostimulatory Radiesse to boost your own body’s natural collagen production and smooth out the area.

The possibilities are endless!
