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!

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.✨🌟🌟

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

I had an extended tummy tuck, liposuction on the bra area, back, and flanks. So far, I have had 4 lymphatic massages and it has been such a wonderful experience here at Carolina Pintos Therapy. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted with friendly faces. Everyone is so nice to you. Dani is such a wonderful person. She is very knowledgeable and explains everything she is doing. Dani made me feel so special and comfortable. You can tell she loves what she does and treats you like family. I was very impressed when the owner, Carolina Pintos, came in to see me and personally greeted me. It is rare when an owner of an establishment comes to greet you personally. I would highly recommend coming here for your post-op care. I see they have a lot more to offer here besides lymphatic massages. Once I am all healed I plan to try some of their other massages and facials. Dani is so wonderful that I booked all of my 15 lymphatic massages with her. She is super friendly. I always walk out of my sessions feeling better and relaxed.

I have been going to Carolina Pintos Therapy for my post op lymphatic massages. I recently had a breast lift and contouring lipo. I had heard of the benefits of lymphatic massages for years but finally have had a strong enough reason to give it a go. I see Dani and Catherine 2x a week and my healing has sped up exponentially as well as the expected release of the retained fluid. The practice is clean and beautiful and the therapists beyond knowledgeable plus they CARE about you and your health. Even after I am healed this will be a practice that I incorporate into my routine monthly because the benefits are just so strong. Very thankful my doctor recommended this practice and am more than happy to recommend it to anyone else!

Dani was absolutely amazing. She was very professional and incredibly educational, taking the time to explain how lymphatic drainage works and what my body needed post-op. I noticed a visible difference immediately after my session. I would 100% recommend her, she’s one of the best staff members at Caroline Pintos.

At our clinic, we are dedicated to providing you with the best care possible.

Q: Why do I need treatment after my surgery procedures?

A: Medical massage and therapy will help move the fluid by gently pumping access fluid through your lymph vessels into your lymph nodes. This will reduce swelling and discomfort. Without Medical massage and therapy the inflammation can evolve into fibrosis (a permanent hardening of the tissue) or a seroma can form. Many doctors prescribe a lymphatic drainage massage after liposuction or other plastic surgery procedures to make sure their patients get the best possible results from their procedure. Depending on your inflammatory stage, we might also introduce other therapy treatments, like the use of taping, or the use of post-op medical machines. These machines can further break down scar tissue, and help prevent other complications. Because our bodies heal and react differently to surgical procedures, there is never a cookie-cutter process for post-surgery recovery. That is why we recommend that you book an appointment and have Carolina Pintos prescribe your treatment in person.

Q: How much is a massage or treatment?

A: Our massages and treatments range from $134 to $169 depending on what you are looking to get.

This discount can be utilized at your discretion, either immediately or on a future visit. Points can also be transferred as virtual gift cards to friends or family. 

Q: How many sessions do I need to book for post op recovery?
