Our Story

Piel Studio was born from a simple belief: the most beautiful results are often achieved by doing less, not more. We believe true beauty is revealed, not created—through thoughtful, precise treatments that create balance, preserve expression, and leave you looking refreshed, confident, and unmistakably yourself.

That philosophy mirrors the story behind Piel itself. Founded by Nicole and Gianni just before they were married, Piel Studio became the intersection of two shared passions. Nicole brought years of clinical experience and a deep understanding of health, wellness, and patient care, while Gianni brought an entrepreneurial mindset and a vision for building a brand centered on trust, intention, and exceptional experiences. Together, they created a studio where science and artistry meet, guided by the belief that meaningful results come from expertise, restraint, and genuine care—not excess.

The name Piel, meaning skin, reflects our commitment to honoring each individual's natural beauty. Every treatment begins with a simple question: What is the smallest intervention that will create the greatest harmony? By combining artistry with science, we focus on subtle refinements that age gracefully, prioritize long-term skin health, and celebrate authenticity over trends. At Piel Studio, minimalism is more than an aesthetic—it's a philosophy. It's the belief that confidence doesn't come from looking different, but from feeling like the best version of yourself, just as the strongest foundations—whether in aesthetics, business, or marriage—are built with intention, balance, and care.


Nicole Socarras MPAS, PA-C

Co Founder & Lead Injector

Nicole Socarras is the co-founder of Piel Studio and the clinical provider behind the treatments and patient care that define the practice. Born and raised in Miami, Nicole attended Florida International University for both her undergraduate degree and Master of Physician Assistant Studies. She spent the first five years of her career in pediatrics before beginning her journey into aesthetic medicine three years ago.

Nicole has developed an anatomy-driven approach to facial artistry rooted in precision, restraint, and long-term facial harmony. Don’t be surprised if she tells you no. She believes the most beautiful results come from knowing when to enhance, when to stop, and when to preserve what makes you uniquely you.

Patient safety is at the heart of Nicole’s approach. She takes the time to understand each patient’s anatomy, goals, and concerns before recommending a treatment, and will only perform procedures she genuinely believes will benefit them. She cares deeply about the people who trust her with their care and believes that being a great provider means always putting the patient’s needs first.

What Nicole loves most about aesthetic medicine is the balance between clinical expertise and creativity. Every face is different, and she enjoys using her medical knowledge and artistic eye to create thoughtful, natural results that help her patients look and feel like the best version of themselves.

Piel is Nicole’s labor of love—a space created with intention, trust, and genuine care. She feels incredibly fortunate to have built a community of amazing people through aesthetics and to play a small role in helping each of them feel more confident in their own skin.


Gianni Piccoletti

Co Founder

Gianni Piccoletti is the co-founder of Piel Studio, where he leads the business operations, patient experience, and strategic growth behind the practice. While Nicole focuses on delivering exceptional aesthetic care, Gianni is dedicated to ensuring every aspect of the patient journey reflects the same level of excellence—from the first phone call to every visit that follows.

Originally from San Carlos de Bariloche, Argentina, Gianni has spent his career building and scaling businesses across real estate, hospitality, technology, and healthcare. His background in sales leadership, operations, and customer experience has shaped his belief that exceptional service is just as important as exceptional results.

At Piel Studio, Gianni is passionate about creating a welcoming, transparent, and elevated experience where patients feel genuinely cared for. His goal is to build a practice that people trust—not only for natural, beautiful results, but for the relationships they develop with the team.

Outside of work, Gianni is a lifelong soccer fan and can usually be found doing something outside or eating delicious food. More than anything, he enjoys spending time with his soon-to-be wife, Nicole, and their two dogs, Kaia and Mila.


Mila & Kaia Pickles

No introduction to Piel Studio would be complete without introducing our two favorite team members: Kaia and Mila Pickles.

Kaia Pickles is our firstborn pup and the true queen of the household. Born in Miami Lakes, Florida, in May 2017, this beautiful Vizsla has perfected the art of living the good life. Whether she's swimming in the ocean, burrowed under a blanket for a nap, or politely (and sometimes not-so-politely) begging for a bite of whatever you're eating, Kaia brings a calm, loving presence wherever she goes.

Her little sister, Mila Pickles, was born in Hollywood, Florida, in May 2024 and has been keeping everyone on their toes ever since. This spirited Dachshund has endless energy, believes that every tennis ball deserves her full attention, and loves chasing after Kaia every chance she gets. While the feeling isn't always equally reciprocated, Mila absolutely adores her big sister and is happiest when she's by Kaia's side.

Together, Kaia and Mila are an important part of our family and a daily reminder to enjoy life's simple moments. If you follow us on social media, don't be surprised if these two make a few guest appearances—they've become unofficial ambassadors for Piel Studio and are always ready to brighten someone's day.
