Review from Joyce
I had brown spots all over my face. Sun Damage. I was embarrassed to go with out make up on my face. I met Yvonne and she had so much knowledge of skin care that she recommended a VI peel. It was truly the BEST thing I have ever done. Once my face healed I did not have to wear makeup any longer..This was the happiest thing in the word to me. I am told daily how pretty my skin is. All thanks to Yvonne. Thanks Yvonne. You are the BEST!!!!

I found Yvonne about two years ago and I just love her- she has the most wonderful, warm, gentle touch and always throws in a little something unique or unexpected just to make each experience special. She really knows her stuff as far as helping you select the right products for everyday use. She has been great at getting these awful brown spots from sun damage faded and I know eventually eliminated. She has also been wonderful for my teenage, now adult daughter, always treating her with great kindness, and if she were her own. Her treatments are high quality medical aesthetics. She is incredible at assessing your skin and matching the right treatment and products to the right person. I know you will NOT be disappointed in what Yvonne has to offer. If you have a challenge for her, she will not disappoint in finding a solution, guaranteed!!
Review from Lorna R
A friend told me about Yvonne, as I was considering getting the hair on my legs on other places waxed because shaving was irratating my skin. Yvonne was very professional on asking why, and what I expected then explained the procedure on how she does it. She found the right wax for my skin and always let me know which way she was pulling the wax off because of the different ways my hair was coming in. I have been waxed by her many times (3-4) years and she has never made my skin hurt after waxing. Actually her waxings are really not that painful thank goodness, as I believe she has taken care to study and really know what she is doing. Later I thought I would have her give me facials, this was one ot the best decisions I made. OMG! Yvonne is THE BEST EVER!! She took the time to analize my skin and give it the treatments it required to finally respond, look and feel great! My husband tells me how good my skin looks now, hey he noticed! I also know that Yvonne has tired and uses many of the products herself to see if they perform as well as they say do. She never stops researching and learning about new technologies in skin care. I think she will stay around for a long time because she really has the passion for what she does, and it would be very difficult to replace her; as there are not too many people I trust to work with my skin as I do her. THANKS SO MUCH YVONNE!!!

I have been going to Yvonne for over 5 years. Not only has she kept my skin looking young and healthy she was responsible for pointing out two growths she felt were suspicious that turned out to be Squamish cell carcinomas. After the removal of these growths she has done microdermabrasion to make the scars almost undetectable. I trust Yvonne with my skin 100%. She knows what it needs and guides me to the proper care of my skin at home. I believe she has made my face look 10 years younger. I receive compliments from family and friends on how nice my skin looks all the time. Thank You Yvonne you are the best.
Review from Nicole B
I just had a microdermabrasion treatment with Yvonne at Tri Valley Plastic Surgery and she did a great job. I have to second everything a previous Yelper said.. she was on time, had a clean, sterile environment, I felt she analyzed my skin and customized her procedures to fit my skin type rather than following a specific formula for a specific treatment.
My skin feels soft and cleaner, and looks better already. Yvonne warned me that this was not going to be a pampering facial but more of a clinical procedure. That's why I went to her and exactly what I was seeking. Still even though I was getting microdermabrasion, Yvonne still gave me ultrasound extractions, creams, masks, steam, and neck and shoulder massage. And hand treatment. If you're looking for a medically-based facial treatment rather than fluffy, go to Yvonne. You won't be disappointed!
Review from KC C.
So I went in for a facial the other day with Yvonne at the Tri Valley Plastic Surgery, same building as the Palo Alto Medical Foundation. It's been about 3 years since I received a facial, and it was nothing like this incredible experience.
The facility is not anything like a day spa, but an actual doctor's office. So don't expect the lavender scent and lush waterfalls. Though once I met Yvonne, she gave me a THOROUGH evaluation/consultation. She took her time and gave honest opinions and suggestions, (without being pushy or mean, you know how some of them get). The facial was fabulous! You can tell she took her time and pays attention to detail. Once I was done, I didn't have one blackhead left on my face! All in all, I was completely satisfied with her work. She was nice, informative and actually more medically knowledgable due to the fact that she used to work for a Dermatologist. She wasn't just trying to sell a product. Will definately be back and highly recommend her services! Oh, did I mention she even sent a Thank You card to me? I received a card, just two days after meeting with her for my facial. Is that friendly or what?

Yvonne is such a nice person, and genuinely wants the best for her clients. Yvonne is very professional, and I appreciate her knowledgeable input regarding questions of skincare and beauty concerns.
Review from Miss K
I have been trusting Yvonne with my skin since 2006. I am still amazed how flawless she makes my face look and feel after a visit. My skin seems to glow for a week after. Yvonne's tha bomb...if your looking for an esthetician who knows her trade inside and out, is insanely clean and sterile, runs ontime, fully analizes your skin each appointment (no matter how long you've been seeing her) and creates a custom treatment just for you...you will be nothing less than impressed with Yvonne.

Yvonne is wonderful! She takes such good care of my skin! She gives me tips on what to do for flare ups, and is always gentle (as can be) when waxing me. I had my first facial a week ago and my skin looks beautiful! Am planning on seeing her to perfect my skin for my wedding. She works with my schedule (I live in Sacramento now) and always checks up with me to make sure my skin isn't reacting oddly! I have been to several estheticians over the years and Yvonne is by far the best

Yvonne is the best esthetician I have ever gone to. She provides individualized care and facial plans to get your skin looking flawless.
Joanne M 5/3/2009
Yvonne is the best!!! Wouldn't go any where else....she rocks and knows her stuff! Highly highly recommend her!!!
Megan C 6/20/2009
Yvonne is great!
Allyn B 2/17/2009
Yvonne is awesome! My wife and I have gotten facials from her and we have always come out completely satisfied. Yvonne is very knowledgeable and has given us very useful techniques since she has worked with dermatologists in the past. I would highly recommend Yvonne to anyone!
Hector 2/19/2009
Yvonne is really great!! She's always up to speed with her techniques and is constantly learning more to stay on top of her game. She's personable, attentive, charasmatic, and is always looking out for your best interest!! I would recommend her to all of the brides (and grooms) that I DJ for!!

Yvonne is awesome. She takes the time to learn about your life to understand your skin. I love going to her, I look forward to seeing her. I just feel better knowing she is there to help me improve my skin, she teaches me the RIGHT way to care for my skin. I like the products she has me using, they smell nice, face friendly for those of us who have sensitive skin, redness, painful acne.... I love it!
I have had painful deep acne/cysts on my face only all my life, it comes and goes every so many years. I know it's hormones and stress. I've done every over-the-counter crap and the expensive prescription stuff....and sometimes things just don't work for everyone...we are all different in our own ways....
I was looking for the right person to trust with my skin and after trying a few other places, I was sooo frustrated. I took a few days of googling best skin care providers reviews. On multiple sites (Google, yahoo, yelp, and other medical networks) I found Yvonne. I have to say she had the best reviews then any other place in more than one place.
In the past, I've used Accutane and Obaji --GREAT products fixed me up 100%. But no product can guarantee a fix forever.
I was told by several doctors that I need to go back on Accutane and I simply did not want to go through that again.. Yvonne has been able to get me "painful acne" free in a matter of few weeks.
Scaring is half gone, I have softer skin, no painful acne, I have gone out and ppl notice how much better my skin is in a matter of few weeks.
I have had 5 appointments so far and I'm really REALLY happy with my results.
For me to get these results and not be on harsh meds was proof positive that Yvonne is the best....
THANK YOU YVONNE !
