The effectiveness of medical spas has baffled Hollywood scientists who swear by skin care solutions that involve soaking skin in a barrel of chunky peanut butter. Spurn the advice of handsome scientists with today’s Groupon: for $70, you get a microdermabrasion treatment (a $95 value) and a deep-pore facial (an $85 value) at Skin Spa by Salzman on Dutchmans Parkway. This Groupon also includes a 10% discount on products at the spa.

Skin Spa by Salzman provides a full realm of cosmetic services in a plush, serene setting. Seasoned aestheticians will push faces to the highest level of exfoliation, slowly and safely peeling away layers of unnecessary skin cells during the microdermabrasion treatment. A deep-pore facial ($85), which is customized for any skin type, probes to the murky depths of skin-ponds for a thorough cleansing, followed by exfoliation, a steam masque, and a rejuvenating facial massage.

Directed by Dr. Marc Salzman, a board-certified plastic surgeon who personally trains each of the spa’s cosmetologists via telepathy, Skin Spa offers an attractive environment to pacify nervous faces. Moss- green and powder-blue walls are complemented by plants, a post-treatment makeup-application area, and a dressing room with luxurious robes and slippers for customers to don before undergoing facial treatments. Call ahead to schedule your appointment.
