Welcome to Youthful Aesthetics Skin Studio, where science meets holistic healing!
Yana A. - Owner / Lead Esthetician
Hi, I’m Yana! As a young girl, I was always interested in skin care, even though I didn’t understand the benefits at the time. Having suffered from severe acne as a teen, healthy skin was always on my mind and I knew it was my calling.
When I was learning to treat my skin healthfully, I remember feeling a lack of empathy during my facials but most importantly, a lack of esthetician-to-client education. I've dedicated my life to researching skin chemistry on a cellular level, so that I can give you the most efficient, LONG TERM results, healing your skin from inside out. In 2014, my skills and expertise came together and I was able to create
my dream: YA Skin Studio.
I have been a Member of Associated Skin Care Professionals since 2015, and some of my accolades include: DMK Paramedical Therapist of the Year (2021), and Former Nationwide Esthetic Educator (2015-2019).
Jackie I. - Esthetician
I’m Jackie, im licenced esthetician. I have 5 years experience as an esthetician in 5-star luxury spas.
Since I was a little girl, my obsession has been skin! As I got older, I knew this was what I was meant to do. Not only did I want to improve my own skin, but educating people and getting them excited about the journey of skin transformation is what I am here for.
In my free time, I love to travel, salsa dance, eat good food, and meet new people!
Katheryn S. - Administrative Assistant
My name is Katheryn and I’m excited to help you achieve the glowing skin of your dreams. As a film actor, I understand how important keeping yourself healthy and refreshed, looking your best, is a necessity.
Taking care of your skin plays a part in that, much more than people realize. In my spare time, you’ll find me on set, writing scripts, in the gym, reading or cuddling with my cat and chinchilla.
I love staying active, so let me know your top hiking recommendations!

OUR reviews
"Hands down this was the best facial I've ever had . The entire experience was enjoyable, relaxing and professional. My face is glowing. I'll definitely return. Yana is very knowledgeable about the latest and greatest technology."

“I've been seen Yana for DMK treatments about once a month for the last few years. I am so thrilled I found her. My skin looks younger than it did in college! Her knowledge and guidance have cleared up lines, redness and discoloration, and brought moisture and bounce back to my face. She walks you through the whole entire process and puts you at ease! I always leave feeling better than when I came in. Thank you for being so amazing and keeping me looking beautiful."

"Yana is the most professional, knowledgeable, deeply caring aesthetician I have ever been in Chicago. She is the only one I will trust with my skin. She goes above and beyond and delivers amazing results with her customized services to meet my individual skin care needs. I’m always looking forward to each appointment."
Jessica Z.
"I can not say enough positive things about Yana! I started seeing her couple years ago because I was having trouble with acne and was frustrated with not seeing results with the products I was using. Within only 4 months, my skin was clear and never looked better. She is extremely knowledgeable and offers products that are gentle and effective. Highly recommended!"
