Memorial & The Woodlands

Cellulite Treatment

Five hands-on techniques in one 50 minute session, worked over the areas where dimpling actually shows.

Results

gold geo shape

Drag to compare. These are our own cellulite clients. Results vary from person to person and they are temporary.

The treatment

Every session is 50 minutes and all five techniques are part of it. Your therapist decides how the time is divided across them.

A therapist working the tissue of the abdomen with both hands

Cellulite massage

The hands-on core of the session. Firm, specific pressure over the area, working the tissue and the lymphatics.

Some pressure. Most people find it relaxing.

Vacuum therapy

Suction lifts the skin away from what is underneath it, working the fascia and bringing blood to the area.

A pulling sensation. Slight discomfort, not painful.

Ultra cavitation

Ultrasound applied over the area with a handpiece, used on thighs, abdomen and buttocks.

Painless. The sound the machine makes bothers people more than the treatment.

Radio frequency

Warms the deeper layer of the skin. The energy is adjustable and it is adjusted to you.

Warmth, and little else. Say so and it comes down.

Wood therapy

Shaped wooden tools worked over thighs and buttocks, following the same lines as the massage.

Firm pressure. Relaxing, occasionally mildly uncomfortable.

Where it works

Thighs

Front, back and the inner thigh, where dimpling shows first.

Buttocks & hips

The area the wood therapy work is built around.

Abdomen

Texture and tone after pregnancy or a change in weight.

Upper arms

The back of the arm, worked in the same session.

The upgrade

Add a machine to the same visit

gold geo shape

The hands-on work treats the surface, the fascia and the lymphatics. A machine heats the tissue underneath them, so the two are not doing the same job twice, and it goes in the appointment you already have.

VelaShape III treating a thigh
VelaShape III treating the abdomen and flank

VelaShape III

Smoother and slimmer

Dimpling and the shape of an area. Body only, at Memorial.

Venus Legacy treating the abdomen
Venus Legacy treating the face and neck

Hover to see it working

Venus Legacy

Firmer and tighter

Skin quality and crepiness. Face and body, at both clinics.

You do not have to pick. Which machine suits you depends on the area and on what is bothering you, and your therapist decides at consultation.

How long it adds depends on the same thing, so the upgrade is priced at consultation rather than added to a cart. Ask when you book, or call 713-474-4774.

I can’t recommend Carlina Pintos Therapy enough! I purchased their 20-session post-op lymphatic drainage package after my mommy makeover with Dr. Kristy Hamilton, and it was one of the best investments I made in my recovery.

They started taking care of me the day after my surgery with in-home sessions , and then continued my treatments in their office. From the very beginning, everything was so easy and organized. Over the course of my recovery, I built such a great relationship with every therapist who worked on me. They were all kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about my healing.

I truly believe they played a huge role in my results. My swelling improved after every session, I looked and felt better each time, and I honestly think my scar healed so beautifully and stayed so small because of the care I received.

If you’re having a mommy makeover, do yourself a favor and get the package. Start your lymphatic drainage massages as soon as you’re cleared after surgery—you won’t regret it. The care, support, and expertise from the entire team made all the difference in my recovery. Thank you all for helping make my healing process such a positive experience!

This is my go-to place for lymphatic massage and have been trying some slimming. Alejandra is very knowledgeable and I have been seeing great results. Their staff is not only friendly but also highly skilled. They are very efficient and punctual.
Mary at the front desk is very welcoming and very helpful. I highly recommend this business.

I bought their non invasive cellulite package with 6 sessions. This photo is before my 1st session and after 5 sessions (I still have one more session left)! Shout out to Eliza for being such a bright part of my day in every appointment! After each session I went home with a little more confidence just based on our conversations and now the RESULTS! 🥹 She is very knowledgeable, has given me great homework, and I just don’t know how else to describe how meaningful this experience has been for me.

Jessica at Carolina Pintos Lymphatic Massage has been my therapist since my surgery four weeks ago. She has made a world of difference for me. Gotten rid of all my residual swelling and is now working out my scar tissue. I feel so much better after seeing her and my recovery is going very well. I know Jessica’s treatment has been important for my healing. She is professional, efficient and friendly too. I am now a believer in Lymphatic massage for post surgery recovery, and for addressing the lymphatic system which I have learned a lot about recently. I highly recommend this service. Everyone I have met at Carolina Pintos Massage have been professional. Five stars from me!

I cannot say enough amazing things about my experience with Alejandra. I went in for scar tissue treatment and lymphatic massage, and the results were beyond anything I expected. From the moment I arrived, I felt genuinely cared for and completely at ease from the lead to my massage therapist who conducts a thorough evaluation.

Their knowledge, technique, and attention to detail were incredible. They took the time to understand my concerns, explained the process thoroughly, and customized the treatment specifically for my needs. I could literally feel the difference during and after the session — reduced tightness, better mobility, less swelling, and overall relief I hadn’t experienced in a long time.

What truly sets them apart is their compassion and professionalism. You can tell they are deeply passionate about healing and helping their clients feel their best. The environment was calming, clean, and welcoming, which made the entire experience even more therapeutic.

If you are looking for someone highly skilled in scar tissue work and lymphatic massage, I wholeheartedly recommend them. This was one of the best bodywork experiences I’ve ever had, and I’m so grateful I found them.

Carolina and crew are all fabulous! They go through intensive training besides their own certification. I have had 6 different therapist and ALL have been the GREAT! My doctor asked what I was doing to help with my healing because he was very impressed with the results. I told him I was going to Carolina Therapy massage. The doctor can only do so much, it’s what you do after to heal that determines results. I will not just come here for healing, I plan to continue my services for even relaxation. I can’t say enough good things about everyone here!! Especially thanks to Alexis, Michelle, Alejandra, Karla, Tiffany, Adrianna…

P.S. the decor is gorgeous and the professionalism in the office is superb!

I had the best experience with Eunice during my microneedling facial today! She was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain every step of the process in such a thoughtful and reassuring way. I felt completely comfortable and well taken care of the entire time. You can tell she truly cares about her clients and is passionate about what she does. I’m already looking forward to my next appointment—highly recommend her!

Carolina and her team provided an experience I will truly never forget. From the moment I walked in, I felt cared for, understood, and genuinely supported. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and the level of compassion they showed throughout my lymphatic massage journey went far beyond my expectations.

Carolina has such a calming presence and a true gift for what she does. You can tell she is not only skilled, but deeply passionate about helping others heal and feel their best. Every session felt intentional, and I always left feeling lighter, refreshed, and more in tune with my body.

What meant the most to me was how much heart her and her team put into their work. They didn’t just treat me like a client, they treated me like someone who truly mattered.

I will always be grateful for the care, kindness, and dedication Carolina and her team showed me. If you are considering lymphatic massage, I cannot recommend them enough, they are truly exceptional.✨🌟🌟

Katherine is amazing and so knowledgeable and professional. Her Linfa tea is a daily part of my routine
The office carries so much positive energy…

I used Lymphatic drainage before and after my surgery and have continued because of the positive changes I see in my body and mind.

How it goes

Before

We start by talking it through: what is bothering you and where, and anything in your medical history we should plan around.

During

Fifty minutes on the table. All five techniques are on hand, and your therapist decides how much of the time each one gets.

After

You go straight back to your day. The area can stay warm or pink for a while, and mild bruising is possible.

Why our clients choose us

A therapist working the abdomen by hand during a session

The manual work is the core of the session. The technique is the treatment, so who is holding the tools matters.

State-of-the-art techniques

Cellulite massage, vacuum therapy, wood therapy, radiofrequency and lymphatic drainage, combined inside one session instead of sold as separate add-ons.

A plan for your area

The session is built around the area you want treated and how your tissue responds to it, not the same pass over everyone.

A therapy clinic, not a medspa

Lymphatic drainage and post-operative work are what this practice does all day. It is why the manual technique is the core of the session rather than an add-on to a machine.

Non-invasive, no downtime

Nothing is cut and nothing is injected. You go back to your day straight after the appointment.

We say when it is the wrong treatment

If what is bothering you is loose skin rather than dimpling, you hear that at consultation, not after six sessions. And where we say a machine is cleared for something, the clearance number is on that machine’s page.

Looked after to the end of the course

Consultation, aftercare instructions and follow-up appointments, so a course is seen through rather than sold and left.

Before you book

How long is a session?

50 minutes. If you are adding a machine session to the same visit the appointment is longer than either on its own, so ask when you book and we put enough time in the diary rather than running the two into one slot.

Will I see results after one treatment?

You might see some improvement after one, but the results come from a course. That is why the package is six. What we will not tell you is that it guarantees a result or makes it permanent, because that is not what the evidence supports.

How many sessions will I need?

It varies with the severity, the technique and what you want to achieve. Six is the usual plan and your therapist builds it around you at consultation.

Can a massage really reduce cellulite?

On its own, no. Slimming massage is one component of a plan, and ordinary deep tissue or Swedish massage does nothing for cellulite. What this treatment does is combine the manual work with vacuum, ultrasound, radiofrequency and wood therapy in the same session.

Is there any downtime?

None, including on the machine sessions. You can return to your routine straight after.

What are the side effects?

Generally minimal: temporary redness, swelling, mild bruising and slight discomfort, usually settling within a few hours. Adding a machine adds heat and suction, and bruising is the side effect that shows up most often in the published studies on that technology.

Can cellulite come back?

Yes. Treatment can reduce its appearance but cellulite returns over time, particularly if diet and exercise are not part of the picture. Every machine clearance behind this treatment uses the word temporary, and so do we.

Should I add a machine session?

Often, yes: the manual techniques work the surface, the fascia and the lymphatics, and a machine heats the tissue underneath them, so they are not doing the same job twice. Which machine depends on the area and on what is bothering you, and your therapist chooses at consultation. See VelaShape III and Venus Legacy.

Who should not have it?

Pregnancy, active cancer treatment, some skin and circulatory conditions and, for the machine part, a pacemaker or metal implants in the area, all rule it out or need a doctor first. Your therapist screens for this before your first session.

Ready when you are

Memorial and The Woodlands. Monday to Friday 9:00 to 19:30, Saturday 9:00 to 15:00.
