Studies show that your face is the part of your body least likely to wear shoes and most likely to consume Funyuns. Reward this hard-working frontispiece with today's deal: for $55, you get a skin consultation, facial massage, mask, and either a microdermabrasion or medical-grade glycolic face peel (a $265 total value) at Skin Thera P Medical Spa on 81st Street.
Allow Skin Thera P's expert staff to guide you from the orange hues of the brightly lit front desk, across wood-paneled floors, to a tastefully appointed private treatment room. There, you'll receive a consultation (a $100 value) aided by the all-seeing eye of a skin-consultation machine, which uses ultra-violet light to photograph the skin and subsequently reveal underlying conditions not visible to the naked socket-filler. This personalized analysis will help guide you to the proper treatment choice of either a glycolic face peel or microdermabrasion (both valued at $120).
During the glycolic peel, a highly trained aesthetician applies medical-grade glycolic acid to the face, releasing dead skin cells from their coffins and gently encouraging healthy cell growth. Following this, receive a TNS growth-factor mask ($45), which evens skin tones, reduces redness, and increases skin's firmness and elasticity. Finally, a relaxing facial massage melts stress and rejuvenates internal ossicles. Alternately, the microderm treatment uses a stream of micro crystals and suction to gently exfoliate the stratum corneum, or outermost layer of dead skin cells, leaving underlying cherub flesh free to breathe fresh air. This is also followed with a TNS growth-factor mask and a massage for an overwhelming sensation of wellness. Both the peel and the microderm treatment clear away superficial skin imperfections and work on improving the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, gaping pore holes, and hyperpigmentation.
Skin Thera P prides itself on being one of NYC's only medical spas to have a full-time doctor on hand. William Greenberg, M.D. oversees all the treatments that take place at Skin Thera P and performs many of them, aided by more than 18 years of professional practice and the power of flight inherent in all white lab coats. The medical spa offers treatments appropriate for all ages and walks of life, as taking good care of your skin is important for everyone. When future forms of facial recognition require a scan of your face before you can enter your hovercraft or open a can of hovercraft fuel with your automatic can-opener, it’ll be nice to know you’re dependably radiant.

Groupon Says
Macrodermabrasion
Skin-rejuvenating microdermabrasion is really just a miniaturization of the original macro dermabrasion that scientists have been using to scour the surfaces of planets since the early '60s. What are some unusual secrets that have been revealed just below the surface of some of your favorite planets?
- Saturn: Top-most layer of soil composed of 68.2% caramel.
- Jupiter: A hollow, gaseous shell beneath which there is a thriving society of super-intelligent pterodactyls sporting jaunty mortarboards.
- Pluto: Has a smaller Pluto just beneath the surface, which contains a still-smaller Pluto, all the way down until you get to the core, which is a just a golf ball with a swearword written on it in permanent marker.
- Mars: Intricate network of tunnels leading to secret Blockbuster Video locations that appear clean, friendly, well stocked, and visibly unaffected by Netflix or sadness.
- Earth: Ew, bugs!
