MEET RANO
Expertise with a human touch.
I have cared for skin and unwanted hair since 2009, creating a quiet, private space where questions are welcome and no one is rushed into a treatment.

A CLEARER FACIAL MENU
Choose time. I personalize the treatment.
You do not need to know which machine or serum to book. Start with time and goal; your treatment is selected after assessment.
Targeted Skin Treatment
Essential care plus one selected technology—oxygen, microcurrent, hydrodermabrasion or LED—based on your skin today.
Signature Advanced Facial
A layered, unhurried treatment for mature, dehydrated or texture-concerned skin, with a simple SkinMap home plan.
Suitability and final pricing are confirmed during consultation. Current Booksy offers may vary.
REAL MOMENTS IN THE TREATMENT ROOM
Care you can see—and understand.
Every image comes from Rano’s own practice. The photos below show real treatment moments and post-treatment glow; they are not manufactured before-and-after claims.
ZEMITS MICROCURRENT GLOW
A gentle current. A hands-on ritual.
Low-level cosmetic microcurrent is paired with a slow, massage-like gloved technique to support a temporarily refreshed, more toned-looking finish. Your comfort and contraindications are reviewed first.

REST & RESET
Cooling jade eye ritual
A quiet, cooling step selected for comfort, relaxation and a rested appearance.
EYE-ZONE CARE
Hydration where expression lives
Targeted care can soften the look of dehydration lines and support a fresher appearance. Puffiness and dark circles have many causes; esthetic care is supportive, not a medical cure.
POST-TREATMENT GLOW
Skin still looks like skin
Freshly hydrated, comfortable-looking skin after customized care. Individual response and visible results vary.
REAL CLIENT MOMENT
Two angles, one customized visit
A genuine post-treatment moment shown without inventing an artificial “before.”
Cosmetic treatments are selected after consultation. Photos are not a guarantee of outcome and do not replace medical care.
ELECTROLYSIS 101
Permanent removal, one follicle at a time.
A very fine probe follows the natural follicle opening. A small amount of electrical energy treats the growth cells, and the released hair is gently removed.

WHY A SERIES IS NORMAL
Hair grows in cycles—not all at once.
Each follicle follows its own timing. Repeated appointments catch different hairs as they become visible and treatable.

SKIN SCHOOL
Your skin is an organ—not a trend.
The epidermis is the outer barrier. The dermis contains supportive structures such as collagen, elastin, vessels and follicles. The hypodermis provides cushioning and insulation.
Esthetic care supports visible condition and comfort. Concerning, changing or painful conditions need medical evaluation.
TEEN SKIN, WITHOUT THE HYPE
Gentle care for changing skin.
Hormonal changes can increase oil production and contribute to blackheads and breakouts. A teen facial should teach—not shame, scrub or overwhelm.

HOME-CARE FOUNDATION
- Cleanse gentlyNo harsh scrubs or picking.
- Moisturize simplyLightweight and non-comedogenic.
- Protect dailyBroad-spectrum SPF 30+.
- Add one active at a timeOnly when appropriate and tolerated.
Deep, painful acne, scarring or persistent breakouts should be evaluated by a dermatologist.
MODERN TOOLS, THOUGHTFUL CHOICES
Technology follows the skin—not the other way around.
Professional education from MTS US and Zemits informs treatment selection, while your history, comfort and visible skin condition guide the plan.
Hydrodermabrasion
Fluid-assisted exfoliation and hydration for a smoother, refreshed-looking surface.
Oxygen Infusion
A cooling serum-infusion experience selected for dehydrated, dull or travel-stressed skin.
Microcurrent
Low-level current used in cosmetic care to support a temporarily toned, refreshed appearance.
LED Light
A non-invasive light add-on chosen according to goals, comfort and contraindications.
Nano-Infusion
Superficial, non-invasive care designed to enhance hydration and the appearance of texture.
Chemical Peels
Controlled exfoliation in an appropriate strength, with careful preparation and aftercare.
Chemical peel does not mean “the strongest peel possible.”Depth, downtime and aftercare vary. Sun protection is essential, and deeper concerns may require a dermatologist.
RANO SIGNATURE LASHES · SINCE 2010
Extension—or simply enhancement?
Featherlight lashes chosen for a believable, eye-opening result—especially loved by clients who want polish without a heavy look.
Fiber weight 0.05 mmLengths 6–15 mmColors Black · BrownTypical wear 3–5 weeks*
Each extension is isolated and selected to respect the natural lash’s size and direction. Correct weight, isolation and aftercare help reduce unnecessary traction and premature breakage.
C Curl
Soft rounded lift for a classic open-eye effect.
L Curl
Straighter base with a defined lift for certain eye shapes and downward lashes.
*Retention varies. Adhesive sensitivity can occur with any lash adhesive; pain, marked redness or swelling require prompt attention.
WAXING
Fast, polished, temporary hair removal.
Soft wax is efficient for larger areas. Hard wax sets around hair and is often selected for coarser hair or sensitive areas.
