Our Staff

Rennie Ackerman, Practice Manager

"Rennie is an admitted skincare junkie, as her husband (and his lack of bathroom counter space) can attest.  She is a walking encyclopedia of skincare ingredients, and is thrilled to be learning the medical aspect of how they work together for optimal results.  She is spearheading the launch of TANNE MD, our new medical grade skincare product line.  Rennie’s background is in marketing, product development and brand building.  She is also a prolific copywriter, and contributes regularly to several fashion and lifestyle magazines.

Her recommendation to everyone who walks in our door?  Sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen.  And a Professional-Grade Clarisonic. 

Lauren Solomon - Esthetician, Make-Up Artist

We are delighted to have Lauren bring her talent to Cosmetic Laser MD. She is available for make-up consultations and application (including airbrush make-up), eyelash applications, and St. Tropez Airbrush Tanning. She will also be one of the pleasant, professional voices that you will hear when you call  our office.

Lauren began her creative career at age 21. After trying her hand at acting she soon realized her passion was in make-up artistry. She began her education studying esthetics at the Capri Institute and later finished with extensive training at the Make-up Designory in Los Angeles, California. She has worked for such companies as Bourjois, MAC, and Laura Mercier as well as freelanced for print, television, and film. Lauren has been involved in on-location bridal beauty for over 10 years, bringing beauty and glamour to the women of New Jersey, New York and beyond.

Lauren says, "women spend too much time trying to hide their flaws. If they took a second to find their best feature and flaunt it then that is all we would see. A striking feature can overshadow a negative one any day! Seeing a woman’s face for the first time as she looks in the mirror at herself after her make-up is done. It’s an unmistakable look of power that I helped create. I love unleashing the hidden confidence that a woman feels when she knows she looks fabulous."

Nicole Citarella, Make-Up Artist, Medspa Assistant

Nicole Citarella has been a hair and makeup artist for over twelve years and has done hundreds of weddings, magazine shoots (including several covers) and television ads.  Nicole is the personal makeup artist for a number of actresses and famous authors – ask her who when you come in! 

In addition to her beautiful make-overs, Nicole often does post-procedure touch-ups so that when you leave our office you’re ready to go!  Nicole is most famous around here for being Dr. Tanne’s “spare hands” and assists in most injection procedures. 

Nicole’s number one beauty secret?   Brows and lashes – they can make or break your look.  Come see her for a complimentary brow analysis.  And when you do, ask her about her two dogs, Bear and Niko – after make-up and weddings, they are her other passion!
