TWO WAYS TO BOOK

Choose Your Skin Tightening Treatment

Loose or crepey-looking skin is a collagen problem. Our clinic uses an FDA-cleared radiofrequency device that delivers controlled heat into the layer of the skin where collagen and elastin live, prompting the skin to firm over a course of sessions. Results build with consistency, and they are temporary.

Venus Legacy

FIRMER AND TIGHTER

Best for clients focused on loose skin, improving skin texture, or reducing the appearance of facial wrinkles. Venus Legacy can be used on both the face and body, giving us greater flexibility to customize your treatment plan based on your goals.

Multi Polar Radiofrequency and Pulsed Electro Magnetic Fields work together with VariPulse vacuum.

The Treatment

Every session is 50 minutes, focused on the area you choose. Your therapist adjusts the radio frequency energy to you throughout.

1 — Before

We start by talking it through: what is bothering you and where, and anything in your medical history we should plan around. Radio frequency is not for you if you are pregnant or have metal implants — tell us beforehand.

2 — During

A 50-minute session where a hand-held RF device is worked over the target area. You feel a warming sensation, similar to sunbathing — comfortable and relaxing for most clients.

3 — After

You go straight back to your day. The area can stay warm or pink for a while. Collagen remodels slowly, so firming builds over the weeks after your course rather than appearing all at once. Sessions are about a week apart, and we book your next visit before you leave.

Radio Frequency (RF)

The core of the session. Controlled heat delivered to the deep layers of the skin stimulates collagen production for firmer, tighter skin. The energy is adjustable, and it is adjusted to you — if it ever feels too warm, say so and it comes down.

Facial wrinkles

Improved by at least one full wrinkle grade after ten radiofrequency sessions, scored blind by physicians at three months.

Face and neck laxity

Improved over eight weekly radiofrequency sessions, judged from photographs by two independent investigators. Eleven patients is a very small sample, and we say so.

How long it holds

Published follow-up on radiofrequency skin tightening is measured in months to about a year, not years. Skin keeps ageing, which is why we plan maintenance rather than promise permanence.

Follow-up windows across the cited studies

These are small studies. No radiofrequency treatment removes fat, replaces surgery or stops skin from ageing. Before and after images on this page come from our body contouring work as a whole. Individual results vary and are temporary.

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!

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!

Can you lose hanging belly fat without surgery?

No. Radiofrequency improves the appearance of loose or crepey skin; it does not remove fat. If you have a significant amount of hanging skin or fat on the abdomen, the honest answer is that a surgical procedure such as a tummy tuck or liposuction is what addresses that, and we will tell you so at your first visit rather than sell you a course that cannot get you there.

What is Radio Frequency (RF) or Radio Frequency Therapy (RFT)?

Radio Frequency (RF) or sometimes referred to as Radio Frequency Therapy (RFT) energy has been widely used in medical and aesthetic fields for its efficacy in skin tightening and rejuvenation. It works by delivering controlled heat to the deep layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production, and promoting skin rejuvenation. The result is firmer, tighter, and more youthful-looking skin.

Is there any downtime, and what are the side effects?

No downtime. You go straight back to your day after a 50-minute session. The treated area can stay warm or pink for a few hours, and some people notice mild tenderness or slight swelling that settles within a day. Your therapist adjusts the energy throughout the session to keep it comfortable.

How long is each skin tightening treatment session?

The length of each session is around 50 minutes.

Can Radio Frequency permanently tighten my skin?

No. Radiofrequency results are temporary. Published follow-up is measured in months to about a year, and skin keeps ageing, so the effect fades gradually. That is why we plan a maintenance session every few months after your course rather than promise a permanent result.

Sun protection, a stable weight and a consistent skincare routine all help hold the result for longer.

What should be expected when having a skin tightening treatment?

Our skin tightening treatment is typically performed as a series of non-invasive sessions, each lasting about 50 minutes, depending on the specific needs of the individual. During the session, the hand-held device will be gently applied to the face and neck area, with a special focus on the targeted areas that need improvement. The patient may feel a warming sensation as the energy is delivered, but the process is generally comfortable and relaxing.

Is Radio Frequency safe or painful?

Radio Frequency treatment is a safe procedure that does not cause significant pain. During the treatment, patients may experience a warm sensation, similar to sunbathing. Depending on the intensity of the Radio Frequency energy, some patients may also feel a mild pinching sensation. However, if the patient experiences discomfort at any point during the treatment, they can request that the therapist reduce the frequency to a more comfortable level. Pregnancy and metal implants in the treatment area rule out radiofrequency. A pacemaker or other implanted electrical device, active cancer treatment, active infection or inflammation in the area, and some skin and autoimmune conditions also rule it out or need your doctor’s clearance first. We screen before your first session, and if you are recovering from surgery we coordinate timing with your surgeon.

How many skin tightening treatments are typically needed to see results?

Some people notice a tighter feel early on, but that is mostly tissue warming rather than new collagen. Real firming builds over the course and for several weeks after it. Six sessions about a week apart is our standard plan; your therapist confirms the number for your area at the first visit.

Which clinic offers skin tightening?
Both. Radiofrequency skin tightening is available at our Memorial / Energy Corridor clinic, 11777 Katy Freeway, and at The Woodlands, 5 Grogans Park Drive. Call 713-474-4774 and mention your preferred location when you book.
Can I combine skin tightening with my post-op or lymphatic treatment?
Often, but timing matters. If you are recovering from surgery, lymphatic drainage and scar tissue work come first, and we coordinate with your surgeon before adding heat to the area. Once you are cleared and the swelling has settled, skin tightening can be added to your plan.
Are there any restrictions when having skin tightening treatment?

Pregnancy and metal implants in the treatment area rule out radiofrequency. A pacemaker or other implanted electrical device, active cancer treatment, active infection or inflammation in the area, and some skin and autoimmune conditions also rule it out or need your doctor’s clearance first. We screen before your first session, and if you are recovering from surgery we coordinate timing with your surgeon.
