Yuliya Lapygina, founder of AFACIAL
Rethinking skincare, since 2015.
Yuliya Lapygina founded AFACIAL Skinbar at Am Heumarkt 9/1 in 1030 Vienna and runs the studio as its owner. Her field is device-based cosmetology: modern technologies such as HydraFacial, JetPeel or the Lutronic laser, used after a precise skin analysis.

What Yuliya stands for
Yuliya started in 2015 with one clear idea: to rethink skincare. Not treatments by the book, but what your skin really needs right now.
That is why every first appointment at AFACIAL starts with a skin analysis. Only once it is clear what your skin is like and what bothers it do we decide which treatment makes sense. Sometimes that is a different one from the one you booked.
Her vision is a place where modern technology, expertise and personal care come together. At AFACIAL that means treatments that fit easily into your everyday life, and results you can see and feel.
My heart has beaten for skin since 2015.
