Founder & Lead Master Esthetician

Yana A.

Owner · DMK Paramedical Therapist of the Year

Skin care fascinated me from a young age, long before I truly grasped why it mattered. Struggling with severe acne as a teenager kept healthy skin at the front of my mind — and it showed me early on that this was the path I was meant to follow.

During my own journey to heal my skin, two things stood out: how little empathy I encountered during facials, and how rarely anyone took the time to actually teach me. That experience set my course. I’ve devoted my career to understanding skin chemistry at the cellular level, so I can deliver results that are efficient, lasting, and rooted in healing your skin from the inside out.

By 2015, everything I’d learned and built finally aligned, and I brought my dream to life: YA Skin Studio.

Our Philosophy

Healing Skin from the Inside Out

At YA Skin Studio, we believe skin health is more than surface-level. Every treatment protocol starts with understanding what’s happening beneath the surface, your skin’s structure, function, and the internal processes driving the conditions you see.

We don’t run assembly-line treatments. Your esthetician analyzes your skin at every visit and adjusts the protocol based on your current condition and long-term goals. The products, techniques, and modalities change as your skin changes.

This is corrective skincare, not a spa menu. We are here for real results, honest education, and a private studio experience where the only person who matters is you.

"It's all about the quality, not the quantity."

— Yana A, Founder

The YA Skin Difference

What Sets Us Apart

Clinical expertise, not spa fluff.

Our estheticians are trained in DMK Enzyme Therapy, medical-grade peels, and advanced treatment modalities. The founder holds the highest recognition in enzyme-based corrective skincare.

Every treatment is customized.

We don’t offer cookie-cutter facials. Your esthetician analyzes your skin at every visit and adjusts the protocol based on your current condition and long-term goals.

A private studio experience.

YA Skin Studio operates by appointment only in an intimate Streeterville setting. No crowded waiting rooms. No rush. Just focused, one-on-one clinical skincare.

Education-first approach.

We teach you why your skin behaves the way it does and what to do about it, not just during your appointment, but in your daily routine. Informed clients get better results.

What Our Clients Are Saying on Google

Real results. Real people. Real skin transformations.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a wonderful experience with aesthetician Jessica. Her voice was so calming and her hands and techniques were magical.  I know many skin problems cannot be corrected with one visit . More of a reason to return. If you are looking for a place to relax , and leave with glowing skin , this is it 🫶🏽

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot say enough amazing things about this place! From the moment you walk in, the space feels calm, clean, and so thoughtfully curated. You can truly tell how much care and intention goes into every detail.

The treatments are incredible — personalized, results-driven, and never rushed. My skin has never looked better. They take the time to really assess what your skin needs and explain everything in a way that feels approachable and not overwhelming. I always leave GLOWING.

Yana and her team and truly the best. So incredibly grateful to have found this studio 3 years ago. Hands down the best facials in the city.

It was so relaxing and Jessica talked me through every step of the process. She made sure I was comfortable and relaxed the entire time. I can't wait to go back for my next treatment.
