Dana Russo, DO, FACOG

Welcome! My name is Dr. Dana Russo, and I’m a board-certified Obstetrician & Gynecologist. It has been a privilege living and working in North Shore for more than 15 years. I would like to share how my professional and personal journey has led me to create Inner Beauty Medical Rejuvenation Center.

I began my residency at Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in 2003 and remained there as an attending physician with Advocate Medical Group. During this time, I trained and worked alongside some of our nation’s best Obstetricians & Gynecologists, Gynecology Oncologists, Urogynecologists, Infertility Specialists and Minimally Invasive Surgeons.

Their mentorship enabled me to have one of the best trainings offered in the United States. These physicians remain highly trusted and respected colleagues within my professional network.

I have had the privilege and honor of caring for women during their pregnancies. I have performed numerous surgeries, both minor and major, and completed both open and laparoscopic procedures, including robotic surgery.

My practice there was successful. I made enduring and impactful relationships with thousands of women. I hold each patient dear to my heart as I feel that the OB/GYN physician-patient relationship is one of medicine’s most trusted. To them, I say thank you for sharing your life with me, and I hope to reconnect and welcome you to Inner Beauty Medical Rejuvenation Center.

In my mind, all mothers are working mothers. Whether you are a stay-at-home mother managing a full-time household, juggling school and activities or you are an executive of a successful company and doing just the same, we all know how challenging and rewarding one of life’s greatest roles can be.

Through my own soul searching, I realized my life and career needed and wanted a new emphasis. So, with a heavy heart, I decided to step away from my practice and take the advice I so often gave to my patients - breathe, reduce stress, get restorative sleep, drink more water, do yoga and seek the support of a life coach.

During this time off and with much reflection, I was able to find a new focus in gynecology and life – to commit to a practice of preventative and restorative medicine. My goal is to support an underserved area of female health focusing on hormone replacement therapy with bio-identical hormones, sexual health & wellness.

I also want to give women everywhere a solution for urinary stress incontinence with state-of-the-art vaginal laser procedures and platelet-rich plasma injections. These services, performed by a board-certified gynecologist, are critical to women’s health. There are non-gynecology physicians who are trying to manage these conditions. Make no mistake, these therapies and procedures should be evaluated, performed and followed-up on by a board-certified gynecologist. This is why I created Inner Beauty Medical Rejuvenation Center – a dedicated medical practice to the health, well-being and vitality of women.

Since its inception, the core concept behind Inner Beauty has been to use the most advanced technology such as Sciton’s diVa®, diVaTyte™ laser treatments, O-Shot®, and BioTE® hormone therapy. These therapies help women overcome some of life’s most intimate and personal physical challenges, including vaginal laxity, dryness, and atrophy as well as urinary stress incontinence. As one of the only board-certified gynecologists in the state of Illinois offering vaginal rejuvenation services, Dana Russo is leading the way in treating women’s health.

I believe that when women feel beautiful on the inside, it reflects on the outside. I would love to help you on your path to health, wellness and beauty.

Be Well,

Dr. Dana M. Russo
