Profile

Opened in March 2006, Skin Thera P is a spa-meets-cosmetic-medical-center whose main interest is anti-aging procedures and skin maintenance. Founder and medical director Dr. William Greenberg works on-site and is available to consult with every client, devise a treatment plan, and address all skincare questions and concerns; these consultations are free with any service. Customers can choose from a large assortment of doctor-performed treatments like Botox, Cap Zap, and Restylan, as well as more than a dozen masks and peels and a variety of facials. These include the Vitalize peel with its strong mix of cosmeceuticals; the Anti-Aging GHK Copper facial, with copper peptide and potent antioxidants; and a men’s facial that comes with an upper-back massage. Laser hair removal, cellulite reduction, and Zoom teeth whitening performed by an in-house dentist are also available. Skin Thera P is serious about its skincare products, too, stocking more than 50 different prescription-strength items from companies like Obagi, Skin Medica, and Neova. Crisp and clean, colorful and comfortable, this spa feels like a mom-and-pop shop set in a modern, high-tech space.

Inept Technician for ReFirme

Having paid in advance for three ReFirme treatments was a big mistake. I was told the treatments would last an hour. The first lasted 45 minutes, the second, 35 minutes and the last 23 minutes. The technician, Connie Vargos is incompetent. My face was burned so badly on one side during the last treatment that I had to rush to my dermatologist for medication. The doctor who heads this storefront sham is not a dermatologist, but a general internist who uses some device when you come in to look at your skin and then attempts to sell the many expensive products to you. This is the kind of so called spa that pretends to be run by a dermatologist with an inept technician that should be put out of business by the medical profession. Dr. Greenberg should lose his medical license, that is, if he really has one.

I have been to plenty of medical spas in NYC, and I can say that Skin Thera P really does surpass them all. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable and honest. My first encounter was over the phone with the spa manager who encouraged me to come in for a free consultation with Dr. Greenberg (I needed/wanted Botox). Since it was my birthday I received 30% off – who knew?! Dr. Greenberg did a great job and according to the staff has a loyal following – you can include me in the mix!!! Besides Botox, I have become a faithful client – I have my facials done at the Spa with Connie – my last facial was a Mesoderm Facial which gives the skin a ‘facelift’ and makes it look smooth and glowing all over. She uses a funny machine, but don’t let that deter you, the results are FAB! And the products that were recommended – esp the Neocutis have done wonders. I also have started doing laser hair removal at the spa and the results so far have been fab. I would recommend Skin Thera P over any other Medical Spa’s in NYC. You won’t be disappointed!
