About

YA Skin Studio opened in 2015 and is run by its founder, Yana A., with a team of licensed estheticians and a medical director. The studio says it has served more than 18,000 clients. It sits on Ohio Street in Streeterville, a short walk from the Magnificent Mile, and works by appointment only with no walk-ins.

The studio describes its work as corrective skin care rather than a standard spa menu. Each visit starts with an analysis of the skin, and the esthetician adjusts the protocol as needed, aiming for long-term skin health. Education is part of every visit: clients are walked through why their skin behaves as it does and what to do at home between sessions.

Visits are one-on-one in a calm, private space with no crowded waiting room. Facials are built around the day's skin assessment, and a 3D skin analysis is listed at $99 on the home page. Gift cards and a cancellation policy are offered. Hours are Tuesday to Friday 11 AM to 7 PM and Saturday 9 AM to 5 PM, closed Sunday and Monday.

The service menu covers express and signature facials, DMK Enzyme Therapy, HydraDerm facials, chemical peels, dermaplaning and light therapy. SkinPen microneedling is used for concerns including scarring left by acne, widened pores, lines, rough skin surface, stretch marks and dark patches. According to the studio, the device is FDA-cleared, and each client gets a fresh sterile cartridge meant for one use only. Acne care follows a corrective program with four stages, and the home products recommended are medical-grade, matched to each client's type of acne.

Waxing and hair removal cover the face and body, including Brazilian and bikini waxing, all done with hypoallergenic Italian wax. Brazilian waxing takes place in a private suite in Streeterville, and the studio says it follows strict sanitation and disinfection protocols. Treatment plans and packages can be paid over time with Cherry financing, with 0% APR options subject to eligibility.

Each treatment is adjusted to the skin on the day, with education on why skin behaves as it does and what to do at home, aiming for long-term skin health rather than a quick spa finish.

A calm, private studio in Streeterville with one-on-one appointments and no crowded waiting room.
