The Art of Skin: European Facials & Holistic Beauty at Vian Aesthetics in River North, Chicago

In a world that rarely slows down, the skin remembers. It holds the stories of late nights, city air, laughter, stress, sun, and time. At Vian Aesthetics, nestled quietly in Chicago’s River North, we offer something more than skincare we offer pause, presence, and a return to the self.

A European Facial, Reimagined

There is something timeless about a European facial the ritual, the touch, the simplicity of letting your skin breathe again. At Vian Aesthetics, we honor the classic techniques while layering in our own modern, intentional approach.

Here, your skin is not just treated it is understood.

We begin with steam to soften, cleanse, and open. Gentle exfoliation follows, brushing away the old to reveal the new. Through meticulous extractions and rhythmic massage, tension melts, and circulation returns. Then we tailor a mask crafted just for your skin — infused with botanicals and active ingredients that work in harmony with your body's natural rhythm.

You leave not only glowing, but grounded.
