Skin Tightening, Cellulite & Resurfacing

Contour is fat plus skin. These are the tools that address the skin half of the equation.

Contour & tightening

Avéli® cellulite reduction

Cellulite dimples are caused by fibrous septa tethering skin to deeper tissue. Avéli® uses a small device to locate and release those specific bands from beneath the skin — targeting the actual cause rather than resurfacing the top.

Retraction™ Smart RF

Radiofrequency energy delivered under the skin through a fine cannula, producing immediate subdermal contraction and continued tightening over the following months. Intradermal temperature sensors hold the tissue in the effective range in real time, which is what makes controlled heating possible. Frequently combined with awake lipo of the neck, jowls, arms, abdomen, buttocks and thighs.

Non-surgical RF tightening

Radiofrequency for patients with mild laxity who aren't ready for a procedure.

Ellacor® micro-coring

Removes micro-cores of skin without thermal injury to reduce moderate to severe wrinkles — skin removal without a scar line.

Resurfacing & laser

Silicone and biopolymer removal is also available for patients with complications from illegal or non-medical injections elsewhere — a specialized service few practices offer.

Frequently asked questions

Is Avéli® a substitute for liposuction?

No. Avéli® treats cellulite dimpling; liposuction removes volume. Many patients benefit from both, and they can often be staged or combined.

How much downtime does CO2 resurfacing require?

Plan on 5–7 days of visible redness and peeling for a full-strength treatment, with sun avoidance for several weeks afterward.
