Hydrafacial
HydraFacial combines multiple skincare steps into one comprehensive procedure. It is designed to rejuvenate and improve the overall health and appearance of the skin. HydraFacial begins with a gentle cleanser and exfoliation to remove dead skin cells, dirt, and oil from the surface of the skin down to the bottom of the follicle. Your skin is now prepped for the extraction of impurities. Using a painless suction technique, pores are unclogged which helps reduce blackheads and congestion. Once your skin has been exfoliated, a blend of hydrating serums filled with antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid is infused into the skin. Your skin will be left feeling nourished and hydrated with a healthy glow.
- What sets the MD Deluxe HydraFacial apart is its customization and medical-grade enhancements. The Deluxe HydraFacial includes the Signature HydraFacial treatment, with the addition of face, neck, and decollete cleansing. Your esthetician will then administer a personalized booster serum tailored to your needs. Following this step, you will receive LED light therapy; a cutting-edge technology that stimulates collagen production, while killing bacteria that may be lingering on the skin. In addition to making your skin appear more youthful, LED light therapy reduces inflammation of the skin, pore size, as well as hyperpigmentation. To finish off this invigorating treatment, medical grade finishing serums will be applied to the skin.
- The MD Platinum HydraFacial includes the Deluxe HydraFacial package, with the addition of a fifteen minute lymphatic drainage procedure. Lymphatic drainage is a specialized massage technique that is designed to promote the flow of stagnant lymph fluid throughout the lymphatic system in the body. This process helps remove toxins, cellular waste, excess fluid, and pathogens from the tissues. During the lymphatic massage, our exceptional estheticians will use gentle, rhythmic, and precise hand movements to encourage the movement of lymph fluid. This will result in detoxification, immune support, improved skin health, pain relief, and reduces swelling throughout the body.
- Chilled Cryo Sticks Massages are popular in the beauty and wellness industry for their potential benefits in promoting healthier skin, reducing inflammation, and providing a relaxed and refreshed experience. Chilled Cryo Sticks help to stimulate circulation while toning your facial muscles. Your esthetician will perform a lymphatic detox by gently guiding the chilled cryo sticks over the patient’s face.
- The MD Signature Customized Facial is a specialized medical-grade facial treatment that is tailored to the unique needs and concerns of the individual receiving treatment. Our exceptional estheticians will assess your skin in order to provide your skin the nourishment it needs. This customized facial will begin with gentle but efficient cleansing, followed by exfoliation and extractions to remove any impurities or dead skin cells from your skin. This facial will be followed by a nourishing masque and finishing serums that leave you feeling refreshed and lively.
- The MD Customized Facial with Dermaplaning includes the MD Signature Customized Facial package with the addition of a Dermaplaning treatment. Dermaplaning is a non-invasive skin care procedure that involves the use of a scalpel to exfoliate the outermost layer of the skin. Dermaplaning removes vellus hair (peach fuzz), surface debris, and dead skin. This procedure will provide you with improved skin texture, enhanced product absorption, a brighter complexion, and a reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. One of the advantages of Dermaplaning is that it typically has no downtime. This facial is great for those who experience signs of aging, uneven texture or struggle with acne-prone skin.
- The MD Cold Facial with Lymphatic Drainage is an advanced and specialized skincare treatment that combines the benefits of cold therapy with lymphatic drainage techniques to rejuvenate the skin, reduce puffiness, and promote overall skin health. This facial involves chilled cryo sticks that help tighten the skin, constricting blood vessels while reducing redness and bloating. This process helps remove toxins, cellular waste, excess fluid, and pathogens from the tissues. During the lymphatic massage, our exceptional aestheticians will use chilled cryo sticks to perform gentle, rhythmic, and precise movements to encourage the movement of lymph fluid. This will result in detoxification, immune support, improved skin health, pain relief, and reduced swelling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here at YMD, we offer everything from surgical procedures, laser treatments, and aesthetic enhancements that help you feel as good as you look.
Most surgeons would agree that an average or good facelift outcome is where a visually significant improvement in the jowls with neck tightening occur and will last approximately 10-15 years. Dr. Yeilding tells patients their facelift will likely turn the clock back about 10-15 years but of course the aging process will continue. Variations in longevity of result are according to patient age and health, lifestyle, diet, weight fluctuations and genetics.
You will see Dr. Yeilding during your initial surgery consultation. You will also see her before and after your surgery where she will speak with you and any family members or caregiver present that you wish. She will see you directly for most post-operative visits, as Dr. Yeilding wants to stay very close to personally evaluate how your healing is progressing especially during the first 2 weeks. There are times when you may not see Dr. Yeilding directly, such as your Pre-Op visit, 2-3 weeks prior to your surgery, where you will receive detailed instructions to prepare you for your surgery and your recovery. Additionally, if you should have an issue or concern after your surgery on a day/time when Dr. Yeilding is operating, we may ask that you come to YMD to be seen by a staff member, who may take pictures, or perform a test, to be able to describe your issues to Dr. Yeilding, rather than rely on telephone discussion. Sometimes telephone discussion is all that is needed.
Bruising is common and lasts about 2 to 3 weeks. Infections can occur but are very rare; however, all infections must be treated quickly to avoid more significant issues. Bleeding and other fluid buildup can collect to form a hematoma or seroma and if not treated can reduce efficacy of neck tightening, or in rare cases are severe enough to potentially degrade the skin itself. It is important to inform Dr. Yeilding immediately if you see/feel pockets of fluid and she will see you quickly to fix the problem fast which typically avoids long term negative consequences. Numbness in the lower face is common and is actually helpful for reducing pain after surgery. Normal feeling typically returns in several months. More severe nerve damage impacting normal facial movement is possible, but rare and also typically resolves over a few months. Facial asymmetry between left and right sides of face can occur; however, Dr. Yeilding surgeries typically improve facial symmetry compared to the pre-op situation. Thickened scars or hair loss around the incision site are reported nationally, however Dr. Yeilding uses advanced techniques that typically do not cause hair loss or result in highly visible scars. Dr. Yeilding’s incisions are made in front of the ear and behind the ear hidden in the sideburn area hair and behind the ear. It is also hidden inside the ear and behind the lobe and the ear (below left image). After 2-3 months there is very little for anyone to see of the actual facelift incision. Facelift incisions heal extremely well and rarely present a problem of scaring. If a rare undesirable scar forms, Dr. Yeilding can improve it with laser resurfacing.
