Because Avéli is so precise, recovery time is faster and more comfortable when compared to other cellulite treatments. Patients can expect to have some bruising, soreness and swelling after their procedure. This may last up to 30 days but often clears up much sooner. We ask that patients keep strenuous activity to a minimum for the first week as the treated area heals. Most patients are able to return to normal daily activities as soon as the insertion points have healed (within 48 hours).
