OUR TEAM
The People Behind Every Treatment
Every treatment at YA Skin Studio is delivered by a close-knit team of licensed estheticians, medical professionals, and skincare specialists — each chosen for real expertise and genuine care. Founded in 2015 by Yana A., the studio was built on one belief: healthy skin starts from within, and every client deserves science-backed, personalized care.
A note from our founder, Yana A.:
“To make a shift in the skin, one must know and understand the skin, even just the basics. I’ve spent countless hours learning what corrects and heals skin dysfunction at a cellular level, so you don’t have to figure it out alone.”

- Member, Associated Skin Care Professionals (since 2015)
