About

ESTE Aesthetics was founded by Emily Clark, a licensed aesthetician, and operates as a small studio in Lakeview. The studio is built around corrective skincare and personal treatment plans rather than a single set menu.

Every treatment is adjusted to the client's skin type, goals and tolerance. Treatments follow evidence-based protocols, with close attention to sanitation, a personal skin assessment at the start, and ongoing education for both the client and the aesthetician. Product recommendations are brand-neutral, and the studio carries curated skincare products in a calm space with neutral tones.

The menu covers Hydrafacials in a full-length Signature version and a shorter Lunchbreak version, customized facials with a double cleanse, enzyme exfoliation, a custom mask and finishing serums, and chemical peels using PCA Skin or Linder Health formulations. Microneedling is done with the SkinPen device, which is FDA-cleared, and the studio describes itself as a SkinPen Ambassador. The VI Peel is a medium-depth option for concerns such as melasma, sun damage, texture, acne scarring and fine lines.

For acne, the Acne Bootcamp is a three to six month program with bi-weekly in-office treatments, a customized home care routine and lifestyle coaching. It does not use prescriptions. The studio also offers monthly memberships, virtual consultations for reviewing routines and products, and add-ons such as LED light therapy and dermaplaning. The studio collaborates with Luminous Aesthetic Group, a women-led practice next door that specializes in injectables and functional wellness.

Treatments are customized after a skin assessment and follow evidence-based protocols, with a focus on sanitation and ongoing education.

A calm boutique studio with neutral tones and a curated selection of skincare products.
