What Really Works for Cellulite in 2025? A Female Plastic Surgeon Breaks It Down
At Amavi Aesthetic Surgery, we specialize in minimally invasive solutions customized to your body and goals. Below, we’re breaking down the top options that are truly working this year so you can stop wasting time and start seeing results.
Why Non-Surgical Treatments for Cellulite Are on the Rise
Cellulite is normal even for the fittest, healthiest bodies. Let’s be honest: We all have searched near and far to smooth things out. For years, cellulite was treated like a surface-level issue, managed with creams, scrubs, and at-home devices with questionable outcomes.
We now know cellulite isn’t just a surface issue; treating it effectively means going deeper than skincare.
In 2025, there is a shift toward solutions that work beneath the surface, targeting the actual causes of cellulite. The best part? These treatments don’t require general anesthesia, long recovery times, or weeks off your feet.
Whether you're frustrated by deep dimples or subtle texture, today’s leading options, like Avéli™, AlloClae™, and advanced skin tightening technologies, offer results that are more predictable, long-lasting, and natural-looking than ever before.
The Most Effective Non-Surgical Cellulite Treatments in 2025
Aveli
If your cellulite looks like deep dimples or “pulling” in the skin, it’s likely caused by fibrous septa, tight bands beneath the surface that tether the skin downward. Avéli™ is the only FDA-cleared device designed to release these bands with single-treatment precision manually.
Unlike creams or lasers that attempt to smooth from the outside, Avéli™ targets the source. Performed under local anesthesia, the procedure involves a tiny, handheld device that allows Dr. Aline Rau to identify and release the specific bands causing visible dimples. It’s an in-office, one-time treatment with minimal downtime and long-lasting results.
Best for: Moderate to severe dimpling on the buttocks and thighs
Quick facts: One 60–75 minute treatment, local anesthesia, minimal downtime, results last 12+ months
alloClae
AlloClae™ is a revolutionary new treatment, ready-to-use fat tissue product, that adds volume to smooth out contour depressions, fill hip dips, and soften the appearance of cellulite. It’s 100% non-surgical and ideal for lean individuals or those seeking natural enhancement without downtime or liposuction.
At Amavi Aesthetic Surgery, we’re proud to be the first and only provider in Colorado offering AlloClae™.
Best for: Volume loss, hip dips, “Ozempic butt,” subtle dimpling
Quick facts: In-office, 60 minutes, no donor fat needed, immediate volume, pairs well with Avéli™
Morpheus8 Body
When skin loses firmness, cellulite can become more visible. Morpheus8 Body is a non-surgical solution that combines radiofrequency (RF) energy with microneedling to stimulate deep collagen production and improve overall skin tone and texture.
This treatment is especially effective for patients dealing with mild to moderate cellulite alongside skin laxity from aging, weight loss, or postpartum changes. Over a series of at least 3 sessions, Morpheus8 Body helps tighten the skin, smooth out uneven areas, and create a refined look.
Best for: Mild to moderate cellulite with loose or aging skin
Quick facts: Non-surgical, no downtime, typically performed in a series of 3+ treatments, results build gradually over several months
