Meet Kristin Laskaris: Victory Med Spa's CoolSculpting & RF Specialist in Austin
November 5, 20269 min read
Kristin Laskaris is the CoolSculpting and RF lead at Victory Med Spa in Austin — a certified provider of CoolSculpting, Agnes Precision RF, and Scarlet SRF who was recently ranked as one of the top four CoolSculpting leaders in the region by Allergan Aesthetics. If you are considering non-surgical fat reduction or radiofrequency skin treatments in Austin, she is the specialist our patients are most likely to meet.
Body contouring is one of those areas of aesthetics where experience shows. CoolSculpting looks simple from the outside — an applicator, a cooling cycle, a massage — but the outcome depends heavily on the planning behind it: choosing the right areas, the right applicators, the right placement, and the right number of sessions, and being honest when a patient is not a good candidate. That planning is Kristin’s specialty.
In this spotlight, we introduce Kristin, explain what her credentials and recognition mean for patients, and walk through the treatments she focuses on. Whether you are coming from South Lamar, Westlake Hills, or elsewhere in greater Austin, here is what to know before your first visit with her at our studio on Victory Drive.

Meet Kristin Laskaris
Kristin is a certified provider of three of the most in-demand technologies on our menu: CoolSculpting, Agnes Precision RF, and Scarlet SRF. She is recognized for her expertise in using CoolSculpting to eliminate fat cells in targeted areas, and she was recently ranked as one of the top four leaders in the region by Allergan Aesthetics.
That combination — deep focus on body contouring plus certification across two of the most precise radiofrequency platforms available — makes Kristin a natural fit for patients whose goals sit at the intersection of contour and skin quality. Someone who wants to reduce a stubborn pocket of fat, firm the skin over it, or refine the jawline often needs more than one tool, and Kristin works with each of them.
What the Allergan Aesthetics Recognition Means
Allergan Aesthetics is the company behind CoolSculpting. Its regional recognition of Kristin as one of the top four CoolSculpting leaders reflects a high level of focus and engagement with the treatment. For patients, that matters because CoolSculpting outcomes depend not just on the device, but on how thoughtfully it is used: how areas are selected, how applicators are positioned, and how plans are sequenced.
It is also worth saying what recognition does not mean. No ranking guarantees a result, and every body responds differently. What it does indicate is that you are working with a provider who spends a great deal of her time with this specific technology. To learn more about the treatment itself, read our complete CoolSculpting guide for Austin and our deep-dive on CoolSculpting Elite technology.
How Kristin Approaches Body Contouring
At Victory Med Spa, body contouring plans are built around the individual rather than a package. A consultation with Kristin typically covers your goals, your health history, and a hands-on assessment of each area you are interested in. CoolSculpting is designed for pinchable fat in people at or near a stable weight, so a key part of the assessment is determining whether the fullness you see is fat that will respond, or something else — loose skin, muscle, or deeper visceral fat — that calls for a different approach.
Planning also means looking at proportion. Reducing one area can change how a neighboring area reads, so areas are often considered in relation to each other: abdomen with flanks, inner with outer thighs. For an area-by-area breakdown, see our guide to the 8 best CoolSculpting treatment areas in Austin. And because CoolSculpting is not a weight-loss treatment, patients with broader weight goals may be referred to medically supervised weight-loss support at Victory Rejuvenate first.
The Treatments Kristin Focuses On
Kristin’s work centers on five related treatment approaches. Each is chosen based on candidacy and goals at consultation.
1. CoolSculpting for Body Contouring — Best for Stubborn Fat Pockets
CoolSculpting uses controlled cooling, a process called cryolipolysis, to trigger the natural death of fat cells in a treated area. Over the following weeks, the body gradually clears those cells, and clinical literature generally reports roughly 20 to 25 percent reduction of the fat layer per treated area. Many people notice early changes around three weeks, with the most visible results between one and three months.
Kristin treats the full range of FDA-cleared body areas, including the abdomen, flanks, inner and outer thighs, bra and back fat, upper arms, and the area beneath the buttocks. There is no required downtime, though temporary redness, swelling, bruising, tingling, and numbness are common. Learn more on our CoolSculpting page.
2. CoolSculpting for the Double Chin — Best for Jawline Definition
The submental area under the chin is treated with a smaller, contoured applicator designed for that space. CoolSculpting is FDA-cleared for the submental and submandibular areas, and reducing fat here may help define the angle between the chin and neck.
The chin and jawline are also where Kristin’s work across CoolSculpting and RF is especially useful, because fullness in this area can come from fat, from skin laxity, or both. Matching the tool to the cause is the heart of a good plan.
3. Scarlet SRF — Best for Skin Tightening and Texture
Scarlet RF microneedling combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy delivered through fine gold-plated needles. The combination is designed to stimulate new collagen and elastin, which may help tighten and firm the skin, refine texture, and improve the look of scars and enlarged pores, with minimal downtime.
Scarlet is often recommended for patients who want to improve skin quality on the face and neck, and it can also be considered for areas of the body where skin quality is part of the concern. Results build gradually over a series of treatments as new collagen forms.
4. Agnes Precision RF — Best for Targeted Under-Eye, Jowl, and Acne Concerns
Agnes RF uses insulated microneedles that deliver radiofrequency energy only at the needle tip, allowing very precise treatment of a specific target while protecting surrounding tissue. It is used for small, stubborn fat compartments such as under-eye bags and along the jowls and under the chin, and for chronic acne by targeting the oil glands involved.
Because Agnes is so precise, it is well suited to delicate facial areas where larger devices are not designed to work. Read our Agnes RF guide for more on how the device works and who it suits.
5. Combined Contouring Plans — Best for Fat Reduction Plus Firmness
Some goals are best met by combining technologies over time — for example, CoolSculpting to reduce a pocket of fat and a radiofrequency treatment to address skin quality in the same region. Because Kristin is certified across CoolSculpting, Scarlet SRF, and Agnes RF, she can help plan the sequence and spacing of a combined approach.
Combination plans are never automatic. Whether a second treatment adds value, and when it should happen, depends on your anatomy, goals, and budget, and is decided at consultation. Seasonal pairings are sometimes featured on our specials page.
Kristin’s Focus Areas at a Glance
| Treatment | Best For | Downtime |
|---|---|---|
| CoolSculpting (body) | Stubborn, pinchable fat pockets | None required; temporary redness, swelling, numbness |
| CoolSculpting (double chin) | Chin-neck and jawline definition | None required; temporary swelling and tenderness |
| Scarlet SRF | Skin tightening, texture, scars, pores | Minimal |
| Agnes Precision RF | Under-eye bags, jowls, chronic acne | Varies by area; discussed at consultation |
| Combined plans | Fat reduction plus firmness | Depends on the treatments chosen |
What Your First Visit With Kristin Is Like
Your first appointment is a complimentary consultation at Victory Med Spa, 2108 W Ben White Blvd, Austin, TX 78704. Kristin will ask about your goals and health history, assess the areas you are interested in, and explain which treatments are likely to help — and which are not. She will walk you through how many sessions may be needed, what you can expect to feel during treatment, and what results typically look like and when they appear.
Pricing is finalized at consultation, before anything is scheduled. Monthly payment plans are available through PatientFi, including zero-interest options subject to approval. Many patients schedule their first treatment soon after, while others take time to think it over; there is no pressure either way.
Safety and Candidacy
CoolSculpting is FDA-cleared and non-surgical, and most side effects are mild and temporary. A rare side effect called paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (PAH), in which a treated area becomes larger and firmer rather than smaller, occurs in fewer than 1 percent of cases and generally requires a surgical procedure to correct. People with cryoglobulinemia, cold agglutinin disease, or paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria should not have CoolSculpting. Radiofrequency microneedling treatments carry their own risks, including redness, swelling, pinpoint marks, and, rarely, pigment changes or infection, and may not be appropriate during pregnancy, with certain implanted devices, or with active skin infections in the area.
Every treatment at Victory Med Spa is delivered under physician supervision, and candidacy is screened carefully at consultation. If a treatment is not right for you, we will say so and help you explore alternatives.
