Lasers technologies have changed the medical and plastic surgery world forever, driving advancements in skin restoration, vaginal rejuvenation, and beyond. However, lasers still have limitations.
At Pearlman Aesthetic Surgery, we offer treatments that work. Here’s why our renowned plastic surgeons don’t offer a cellulite laser treatment in NYC—and why we offer Avéli, instead.
What causes cellulite?
Cellulite occurs when fat cells push up against your skin’s surface and the connective cords that hold them and the surrounding tissues in place push down, creating an uneven texture. Many people assume that cellulite develops with weight gain, but your hormones, genetics, and age can cause these dimples to form—no matter your weight.
Your Treatment Options
Many topical scrubs and dry brushes claim to smooth cellulite, but there’s no scientific data to prove they do. These “solutions” only work on your skin’s surface, rather than targeting cellulite at the source.
Cellulite Laser Treatments
Lasers can penetrate your skin’s surface to stimulate collagen production in the dermis—the middle layer of skin—but they can’t reach beneath your skin. So, while they can improve your skin’s elasticity, tone, and texture, they can’t effectively reduce cellulite.
Avéli™


The only way to truly address cellulite is to snip the connective cords that hold dimples down, and that requires a subcutaneous—beneath the skin—procedure. Our surgeons offer the revolutionary Avéli cellulite treatment to release that tension, allowing your skin to raise back up to create a smoother surface.
Avéli is the only FDA-cleared treatment for long-term cellulite reduction in the thighs and buttocks, where it most frequently occurs.
