WANT AN UPGRADE?
Choose The Right Machine
Both machines are FDA-cleared for the temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite and cost the same. They lead with different results, so the choice comes down to what you want to change. Add either to your course, or book the machine on its own. Your therapist confirms the fit at your first visit.
Venus Legacy
FIRMER AND TIGHTER
Best if loose or crepey skin is part of the picture, or you want the face and neck treated too. Multi-polar radiofrequency, pulsed electromagnetic fields and VariPulse suction, with real-time temperature control. The only device here with a facial indication.
Multi Polar Radiofrequency and Pulsed Electro Magnetic Fields work together with VariPulse vacuum.
VelaShape III
SMOOTHER AND SLIMMER
Best if dimpling and thigh circumference are the main concern: inner thighs, buttocks, flanks. Infrared light, bipolar radiofrequency, vacuum and mechanical rollers in one pass.
Infrared light, Bipolar Radiofrequency, vacuum, and massage work together during treatment.
Considering Cellfina or Aveli? What to Try First
Cellfina and Avéli are minimally invasive procedures performed by a physician: a small device is inserted under the skin to release the fibrous bands that pull it down. They involve needles, local anesthetic, and a four-figure cost. Many Houston clients try a non-surgical course first, six hands-on sessions at $894 or the upgraded course with VelaShape III or Venus Legacy at $1,040, before deciding whether a procedure is worth it. No needles, no downtime, and your therapist will tell you honestly if what you want changed needs more than we offer.
What a Cellulite Session Is Like
Every session is 50 minutes. Your therapist chooses which techniques to use and how long to spend on each, based on your area and your goals.
1 — Before
We talk it through first: what’s bothering you, where, and anything in your medical history we should plan around.
2 — During
50 minutes of hands-on work, with time divided across the techniques your area calls for.
3 — After
Straight back to your day. The area can stay warm or pink for a while, and mild bruising is possible.
4 — Between sessions
You leave with aftercare to do at home. If you’re on a package, we book your next visits before you go.
The Five Techniques
One technique alone rarely helps with cellulite. It’s the combination of treatments that yields results.
Cellulite massage
The hands-on core of the session. Fast, rhythmic, firm work over the area — closer to a contouring or circulation massage than a relaxing one. It works the fat and fascial layer underneath the skin and moves circulation and lymphatic flow through it.
Firm and intense, not a relaxation massage. Tender spots are normal.
Vacuum therapy
A handpiece creates suction that lifts the skin and the layer beneath it away from the underlying muscle. That decompression works the fascia — the connective tissue that, when tight, pulls the skin down and creates the dimpled look — and pulls fresh blood into the area. We use it on thighs, buttocks, hips, and abdomen, usually right after the manual work has warmed the tissue.
A steady pulling sensation. Slight discomfort, not painful.
Ultrasonic cavitation
Low-frequency ultrasound delivered through a handpiece and a conductive gel. The energy passes through the skin and targets the fat layer underneath, which is why it’s used on larger areas — outer and inner thighs, abdomen, flanks, and buttocks. Often paired with vacuum or radiofrequency in the same session rather than used alone.
Used for the appearance of the area, not for fat loss.
Painless. You’ll hear a high-pitched tone while the handpiece moves; that bothers people more than the treatment does.
Radiofrequency
Controlled heat delivered into the dermis, the layer where collagen and elastin live. Warming that layer is what prompts the skin to firm over a course of sessions, which is why radiofrequency is the piece that addresses skin laxity rather than texture alone. Energy levels are set to you and adjusted during the session. Most people notice the tightening effect gradually, over several weeks.
Comfortable warmth that builds. If it gets too warm, say so and it comes down immediately.
Wood therapy (maderoterapia)
Your therapist works a set of shaped wooden tools over the thighs, buttocks, hips and abdomen: a rolling pin for the long muscles, a cupped board for the curve of the hip and buttock, and a contouring tool for the tighter spots. The goal is to work the fascia, move lymphatic fluid and smooth the appearance of the area. It does not remove fat, and it is never sold on its own; it is one of the five techniques inside every cellulite session at both of our Houston clinics.
Firm, rhythmic pressure. Most people find it relaxing; occasionally mildly uncomfortable over tight spots.
What the research shows
18 of 20 — Thigh Cellulite
Improved after eight sessions combining radiofrequency, infrared, vacuum and mechanical massage, with the untreated thigh as a control and photos scored by two masked assessors.
60% — Abdominal Cellulite
Of 25 women called themselves satisfied after eight weekly multipolar radiofrequency sessions; a blinded investigator found significant improvement in appearance, with no adverse effects reported.

Why Choose Us for Your Cellulite Treatment?
Hands-on first: Five techniques combined by a trained therapist in every session, not one machine on a preset.
Physical-therapist-led: Led by a licensed physical therapist and trusted by 100+ Houston plastic surgeons. Your plan comes from someone who understands tissue, swelling and recovery.
Upgrade only if it helps: VelaShape III and Venus Legacy are here when they serve your goal. If the hands-on protocol alone is the right call, you’ll hear that at your first visit.
Non-surgical, no downtime: No needles and no anesthetic. You go straight back to your day, and we screen for pregnancy, implanted devices and other exclusions before your first session.
Honest expectations: Cellulite treatment improves appearance; it does not remove fat or replace exercise. Results build over a course and need maintenance, and we tell you that before you book.
Two Houston clinics: Memorial / Energy Corridor and The Woodlands (5 Grogans Park Drive, serving Creekside Park, Sterling Ridge, Spring and Conroe), with the same five-technique protocol at both. VelaShape III and Venus Legacy availability can differ by clinic; we confirm it when you book.
We have two conveniently located clinics serving West and North Houston, based in Memorial / the Energy Corridor and The Woodlands, offering lymphatic drainage and post-operative therapy to River Oaks, Memorial Villages, Tanglewood, West University, Katy, Creekside Park, Carlton Woods, Sterling Ridge, Panther Creek, Spring, and surrounding high-income communities.

Thank you all will be coming back. 😊
I am definitely coming back for regular lymphatic massages. This was great. Thank you, Patricia. Thank you, Adriana.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Cellulite Treatment in The Woodlands
Reviewed by Carolina Pintos, PT
How much does cellulite treatment cost in Houston?
Does wood therapy (maderoterapia) work?
Avéli and Cellfina vs non-surgical
Does lymphatic drainage help cellulite?
How long is a cellulite treatment session?
50 minutes, whether it’s the hands-on protocol, a machine session, or an upgraded course. Every session ends with aftercare guidance.
Will I see results after one cellulite treatment?
Some people notice a smoother, tighter feel after the first session, mostly from circulation and lymphatic movement. Visible change in the appearance of cellulite builds over a course, which is why six sessions is the usual plan.
Is there any downtime?
No. You go straight back to your day. The area may stay warm or pink for a few hours, and mild bruising is possible with the vacuum and wood-therapy work.
How many sessions does cellulite treatment take?
Six sessions, about a week apart, is the standard course. The number depends on the area, the degree of cellulite and your goal; your therapist confirms it at your first visit. Machine sessions can be built into the course or booked on their own.
Can massage really reduce cellulite?
Not on its own, and not a spa massage. Our cellulite massage is a firm, fast-paced contouring technique that works the fat and fascial layer and moves circulation and lymph; combined with vacuum, cavitation, radiofrequency and wood therapy it helps reduce the appearance of cellulite. A Swedish or deep-tissue massage has no effect on cellulite.
Is this an alternative to Cellfina or Avéli?
It’s the non-invasive step most people try first. Cellfina and Avéli are physician procedures that cut the fibrous bands under the skin with a small device, local anesthetic and a four-figure cost. Our protocol works the same tissue from the outside with no needles and no downtime, at $894 for a six-session course. If your goal needs more than we offer, your therapist will say so.
What is radiofrequency and what does it feel like?
Controlled heat delivered to the deeper skin layer to prompt collagen and firm the skin over a course of sessions. A comfortable warmth that builds; the energy is adjusted to you during the session.
What are the side effects?
Temporary redness, warmth, mild swelling or bruising, and some tenderness over the treated area. These usually settle within hours to a day or two.
Can cellulite come back? Does the treatment remove fat?
Yes, it can. Results are temporary and cellulite can return, especially if weight, activity and hydration don’t change; most clients keep a maintenance session every one to three months after their course. And no, the treatment does not remove fat or help you lose weight. It improves the appearance of cellulite and skin texture. Neither VelaShape III nor Venus Legacy is cleared for fat reduction.
What is vacuum therapy and is it safe?
Suction that lifts the skin and fascia away from the muscle to release tight connective tissue and bring blood to the area. Safe, with a pulling sensation that is uncomfortable rather than painful. Mild bruising is the most common side effect.
What is ultrasonic cavitation and is it painful?
Low-frequency ultrasound aimed at the fat layer under the skin, used on larger areas like thighs and abdomen as one part of the combined session. Painless; the high-pitched tone from the handpiece is the only thing people notice. It is not a fat-removal treatment.
What is wood therapy (maderoterapia) and does it hurt?
Maderoterapia is a contouring technique using shaped wooden tools worked firmly over thighs, buttocks and abdomen to work fascia and move lymphatic fluid. It is one of the five techniques in every cellulite session, not a separate service. Firm pressure, occasionally mildly uncomfortable over tight spots; most people find it relaxing. ¿Hablas español? La maderoterapia forma parte de cada sesión de tratamiento de celulitis en nuestras dos clínicas de Houston.
What's the difference between the treatment, the upgrade, and machine-only?
The treatment is our five-technique hands-on session. The upgrade is the same six-session course with two of the visits on VelaShape III or Venus Legacy. Machine-only is the device by itself, single session or six. All three are 50 minutes; see the pricing above.
Who should not have cellulite treatment?
Pregnancy, a pacemaker or other implanted electrical device, metal implants in the area, active cancer treatment, active infection or inflammation, and some skin and autoimmune conditions rule it out or need your doctor’s clearance first. We screen before your first session. If you’re recovering from surgery, we coordinate timing with your surgeon.
