Lanini’s journey began in Brazil, where she developed a passion for helping people heal through the power of touch. Trained alongside top plastic surgeons, she has spent more than 20 years honing her expertise in lymphatic drainage massage. This specialized technique is not just a luxury spa treatment; it is also a powerful therapeutic tool used to treat illnesses, reduce swelling and promote overall wellness by encouraging the body’s lymphatic system to flush out toxins. Working in hospitals and clinics, Lanini gained firsthand knowledge of the healing power of lymphatic massage in clinical settings. These years spent working with doctors gave her a unique perspective, blending medical science with aesthetic beauty.

In the world of aesthetic wellness, Lanini is a game changer. Her signature treatment, THE EFFECT™ Massage, is one of the most sought-after beauty secrets, revered by top celebrities for its ability to sculpt, tone and refresh the body. “It took me years to develop this technique by combining the best and complementary elements from different techniques used by top Brazilian plastic surgeons,” she shares.

THE EFFECT™ Massage marries modern and functional aesthetic approaches with traditional practices, enhanced by Lanini’s own trade secrets. It’s a powerful, non-invasive treatment that leaves clients feeling rejuvenated and transformed after each session. And it’s not just about aesthetics; it promotes overall health and vitality, boosting circulation, reducing inflammation and helping the body function at its best.
She explains, “The procedure lasts an hour…and it combines lymphatic drainage, shaping contour and relaxation. It features a combination of deeper movements to release abnormal tissue adherence, increasing metabolism and ultimately yielding a contouring effect.”
This innovative approach is part of why Lanini has garnered a waitlist of clients and maintained a reputation as the ultimate beauty hack in Hollywood.
Lanini’s first studios in Beverly Hills attracted a glittering clientele that reads like a Hollywood red carpet lineup: Dua Lipa, Hailey Bieber, Jennifer Aniston, Dakota Johnson, Sabrina Carpenter, Elsa Hosk and Alessandra Ambrosio are just a few names on her client list. Her treatments are often booked out weeks in advance, with those in the know swearing by her methods for everything from pre-event glow to post-surgery recovery. As her reputation grew, Lanini expanded her services to cater to a wider audience, opening a second studio in Los Angeles. Now, with her newest location in Newport Beach, she brings her expertise to Orange County, offering a fresh, luxurious experience for those seeking transformative beauty and wellness treatments in a serene setting.

The Newport Beach studio is a reflection of Lanini’s personal approach to wellness: clean, modern, and designed to promote relaxation and rejuvenation. Clients stepping into her new space will find a sanctuary that caters to both beauty and healing, with treatments designed to elevate both physical appearance and inner wellness.
“We offer all the same treatments from Beverly Hills, but I have added facials as an additional offering at my Orange County location,” Lanini says. “I have recently redefined my facial treatment by incorporating elements from traditional Chinese medicine; I’ve also carefully researched and handpicked products from South Korea.”
Whether a client is preparing for a major event or simply looking to invest in long-term health, Lanini’s treatments provide a holistic approach to feeling and looking one’s best.

This level of attention has built her a loyal following, with clients returning again and again for her transformative touch. Her combination of celebrity cachet and deep medical knowledge sets her apart as a leader in her field, one who understands the importance of merging aesthetic beauty with overall health and well-being.
