After eight transformative years, Lindsay Malachowski has announced her departure as Chief Operating Officer of SKINNEY Medspa and Wellness. Her departure marks the end of an era for one of the most influential names in the medspa industry, but it also signals an exciting new chapter in her already illustrious career.
A Journey Fueled by Collaboration
In a recent LinkedIn post, Malachowski reflected on her time at SKINNEY Medspa, expressing gratitude to the company’s co-founders, Adriana Martino and Marisa Martino, as well as the talented team she worked alongside.
From its humble beginnings—a single treatment room inside a doctor’s office on Manhattan’s Upper East Side—SKINNEY Medspa has grown into a multi-location brand in New York City and Miami, and was called:

Under the guidance of Malachowski and the Martino sisters, the brand formed national partnerships with Saks Fifth Avenue and became the first multi-unit medspa to collaborate with the prestigious French skincare brand Biologique Recherche. Their combined vision positioned SKINNEY Medspa as a market leader in non-invasive aesthetics, offering top-tier treatments like CoolSculpting, Emsculpt, and Eon.
Resilience in the Face of Adversity
Beyond expansion and innovation, SKINNEY Medspa faced one of the most challenging periods in recent history—the COVID-19 pandemic.
As beauty and wellness businesses shuttered around the globe, Malachowski credited the dedication of SKINNEY’s talented team and leadership for helping the business survive and ultimately thrive.
Thanks to their commitment, SKINNEY Medspa emerged stronger than ever, reinforcing its status as an industry leader.
What’s Next for Malachowski?
While Malachowski has yet to reveal her next professional endeavor, however with 20 years of experience, a proven track record of success, and an eye for innovation, her next move is highly anticipated.
Her departure leaves big shoes to fill, but the strong foundation built by the Martino sisters and their team ensures that SKINNEY Medspa will continue to thrive.
As the industry watches closely, there’s no doubt that whatever comes next for Malachowski will be nothing short of groundbreaking.
For now, we say farewell to a key leader and look forward to seeing where her expertise and passion take her next.
