Experience Cellulite Smoothing with Expertise You Can Trust: Dr. Sheena Kong
Dr. Sheena Kong is a board-certified internal medicine physician and aesthetics expert with years of experience helping patients achieve beautifully natural cosmetic enhancements. With a focus on delivering scientifically backed, minimally invasive solutions, Dr. Kong is proud to offer Avéli® cellulite treatment in San Francisco —a state-of-the-art procedure that addresses the structural causes of cellulite for visibly smoother skin. Her commitment to advanced technology, patient safety, and high-touch care makes her practice a top destination for effective, physician-led cellulite treatment.
What is Avéli®?
Avéli® is an FDA-cleared, minimally invasive procedure that targets and releases the fibrous septa bands beneath the skin responsible for causing cellulite dimples—most commonly on the thighs and buttocks. Using a handheld device and guided by real-time tactile feedback, the treatment allows your provider to precisely locate and sever these bands, smoothing the skin surface immediately.
Unlike creams or energy-based treatments that only offer surface-level results, Avéli® addresses the root cause of cellulite at a structural level, providing long-lasting improvement in just one session.
Benefits of Avéli®
- Single, in-office treatment with long-lasting results
- Minimally invasive with no general anesthesia required
- Immediate improvement in the appearance of cellulite dimples
- Targeted approach for personalized precision
- Minimal downtime—most patients resume normal activity quickly
- FDA-cleared and supported by clinical studies
Am I a Good Candidate for Avéli® in San Francisco?
Avéli® is ideal for women with moderate to severe cellulite dimples on the thighs or buttocks who want smoother skin without surgery. Candidates should:
- Be in good general health
- Have realistic expectations
- Be near their target body weight
- Have visible dimples (not just skin laxity or fat)
During your consultation, Dr. Kong will evaluate your concerns to determine whether Avéli® in San Francisco is the right fit or if a combination treatment may yield optimal results.
What to Expect During Avéli®
Your Avéli® treatment is performed in-office under local anesthesia. Once the area is numbed, Dr. Kong inserts the Avéli® device beneath the skin to identify and release the fibrous bands creating cellulite dimples. The process takes approximately 60–75 minutes, and most patients only need one session for effective results.
Avéli® Recovery and Results
After treatment, you may experience mild bruising, swelling, or tenderness that typically resolves within a few days to a couple of weeks. Most patients return to light activities within 24–48 hours, though strenuous workouts should be avoided for about a week.
Visible improvement is often noticeable once swelling subsides, with full results appearing within 30 days. Because Avéli® addresses the structural cause of cellulite, the results can be long-lasting.

Avéli® Q&A
How long does Avéli® last?
Results are long-lasting because the procedure physically severs the fibrous bands causing cellulite. While aging and lifestyle may affect skin texture over time, the released bands do not grow back.
Will I need more than one treatment?
Most patients see noticeable improvement with just one treatment. In rare cases, touch-ups may be considered for optimal smoothing.
Does Avéli® treat skin laxity or fat?
No, Avéli® specifically targets cellulite dimples. It does not address loose skin or excess fat, which may require complementary procedures.
Is Avéli® painful?
The treatment is performed under local anesthesia, so most patients feel minimal discomfort. Mild soreness afterward is common and resolves quickly.
Can Avéli® be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Dr. Kong may recommend combining Avéli® with skin-tightening or fat reduction procedures to enhance your overall results.
