Skin in The Ranch, a Rancho Santa Fe-based skincare practice led by master esthetician Kristi Martone, is expanding its service menu to include lymphatic drainage treatments alongside its existing custom facials. The announcement, made on September 27, 2026, positions the spa as a destination for clients seeking both advanced skincare and wellness-oriented therapies in the Rancho Santa Fe area.
At the core of the practice is a commitment to individualized care. Each appointment begins with a detailed consultation, during which Martone evaluates the client's skin condition and determines the most appropriate techniques and products. This assessment-driven approach ensures that every session is tailored to the client's specific skin type, concerns, and goals, whether they are addressing hydration, anti-aging, acne, or sensitivity.
The custom facials incorporate products from two prestigious skincare lines: Biologique Recherche and Valmont. Biologique Recherche, a French brand known for its concentrated active ingredients and protocol-based approach, allows Martone to build targeted treatments. Valmont, rooted in Swiss skincare research, contributes advanced formulations aimed at improving skin vitality and tone. By offering both brands within the same practice, Martone gains flexibility in constructing treatment plans that draw on the distinct strengths of each line, giving clients access to a broader range of professional-grade options.
The addition of lymphatic drainage services represents a notable expansion. This technique supports detoxification and circulation and can be incorporated as a complement to other treatments when appropriate. For clients, the service is intended to contribute to both visible skin improvement and a sense of physical relaxation, bridging the gap between aesthetic and wellness outcomes. As demand for holistic skincare grows, this integration could appeal to those seeking treatments that address both appearance and overall well-being.
The spa environment itself is designed to support the treatment experience, with a calm, focused atmosphere and attention to comfort throughout each visit. Appointments are structured around one-on-one service, with Martone working directly with each client, whether they are scheduling a single treatment or establishing an ongoing skincare routine. The practice does not operate on a high-volume model; instead, the emphasis is on the quality and specificity of each session.
For the broader skincare industry, Skin in The Ranch's approach underscores a shift toward personalized, results-driven care that combines clinical expertise with luxury product lines. By integrating lymphatic drainage, the spa also aligns with a growing consumer interest in services that offer therapeutic benefits beyond the surface. This could influence other local estheticians and spas to adopt similar hybrid offerings, raising the bar for customized skincare in the region.
