What Is Smooth Curves Cellulite Reduction (Avéli)?
When we look at cellulite, we're seeing more than just fat beneath the skin. The characteristic dimpling occurs when fibrous bands called septae, which connect your skin to deeper tissue layers, become rigid and pull downward while fat cells push upward. This creates the distinctive "orange peel" or "cottage cheese" texture that exercise and diet alone cannot address.
Smooth Curves Cellulite Reduction takes a revolutionary approach by directly targeting these structural causes. The specialized device works beneath the skin's surface to identify and release only the specific bands causing dimples with targeted precision.
The key to achieving beautiful results lies in the expertise and vision of your physician. Kristine Romine, MD and Sara Romine, DNP, FNP-C lead the way in advanced techniques that deliver exceptional outcomes with significantly less discomfort and bruising compared to standard approaches.

Your Treatment Experience at BelleSante
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation where we discuss your goals, perform an exam, assess your concerns and create a personalized treatment plan. Dr. Romine or Sara Romine will identify the specific dimples to be treated and explain the procedure in detail so you know exactly what to expect.
On the day of your procedure, you'll be welcomed into our serene treatment space, where your comfort is our priority. We begin by marking the treatment areas and applying local anesthetic to ensure a comfortable experience. During this time, we'll explain our specialized techniques and comfort measures, like guided breathing, to help reduce any anxiety you may feel.
Dr. Romine or Sara Romine, DNP, will then guide the cellulite reduction device beneath your skin through tiny entry points. The handpiece features a retractable hook-like cutting mechanism that allows us to identify and release fibrous bands with precision. We are also able to confirm that problematic bands were released before moving on to the next area. Many patients are surprised by how manageable the process is, especially with our advanced techniques.
Recovery & Results
After your treatment, you can return to most daily activities within one to two days. We'll provide detailed aftercare instructions, including information about compression garments and activity guidelines to support optimal healing. While some bruising and swelling are normal, our advanced techniques significantly minimize these temporary effects.
While you can expect to start seeing improvements as swelling subsides, optimal results develop over three to six months as your tissues heal and remodel. This gradual progression ensures natural-looking results that leave others noticing your smoother skin but never guessing you've had a procedure done.
To enhance and maintain your results, Dr. Romine often recommends complementary treatments like EmSculpt NEO for muscle toning and fat reduction or the BioSculpt™ fitness program for comprehensive body enhancement. These complementary approaches can further refine your contours while supporting long-term wellness.
