A Total Refresh with Youtherapy

by

If you’re in the market for a little refresh, or just want to feel extra-great about yourself (and frankly, who doesn’t?), check out the recently-opened Youtherapy Medical Spa in Chappaqua, located at 91 Bedford Road. Founded by Dr. William Greenberg, Youtherapy offers a full range of services to help people look and feel their best. I spoke with Dr. Greenberg about the new Chappaqua location, treatment options and how to feel refreshed and confident.

Dr. Greenberg has been helping patients feel their best for more than 20 years. He opened his first practice, Skin Thera P in 2003 on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, with the goal of offering luxury treatments in a comfortable and medically-driven setting. The combination of science and medicine allows Dr. Greenberg to reverse the common signs of aging by lifting, resurfacing the skin, and improving its foundation using modern, FDA-approved technologies. Youtherapy has locations in Manhattan, Scarsdale, and Chappaqua – which opened in April 2023.

“Many women don’t want to age quickly – they want to look natural and maintain their natural beauty. We are doing procedures in a non-artificial way. We specialize in making sure we’re doing the minimum necessary, such as using bio stimulators – the latest and greatest technology. Most places don’t use this yet but we do – treatments such as collagen stimulation for crepey skin.”

It’s the use of proven science and the latest technologies that help set Youtherapy and Dr. Greenberg apart from other practitioners – helping patients discover they don’t need to live with bothersome imperfections brought on by aging. Dr. Greenberg has seen an influx of Northern Westchester clients coming to Youtherapy’s Chappaqua location – even those that were originally coming to Scarsdale. And having two Westchester locations gives clients a greater ease of convenience – there are four days per week of availability between the two offices.

“Like Going to the Gym for your Skin”

If you’re new to the medspa experience and don’t know where to begin, Dr. Greenberg offers a variety of options to help make patients feel their best. “If you’re starting to have animation lines, botox is a great place to start. For those in their 20’s and 30’s treatments such as Jet Plasma – which is a painless collagen stimulation, help the skin look smoother. It’s like going to the gym for your skin.” Other popular options include facials, peels, and skin boosters such as SKINVIVE which help those well into their 50’s and give skin a healthy, youthful glow.

“We offer the latest and best ways to improve the way you look, enhancing your beauty in a natural way. All procedures are safely administered by highly-trained technicians – many who have been with me for over 10 years.” Treatments are medically supervised to ensure the patient’s safety and Dr. Greenberg is available to offer complimentary consultations.

Help for Weight Loss

In addition to the many treatments on offer, Youtherapy’s Chappaqua location has also seen a huge popularity with weight-loss drugs such as Ozempic. “There’s a big demand but not a lot of places are currently offering it. We’re making it accessible. Patients get a high level of service and don’t have to wait weeks for appointments.” Youtherapy is always offering quality, natural results using only vetted, latest and greatest treatments.

In addition, Youtherapy offers consultations for CoolSculpting® and EMSCULPT NEO, which help patients lose fat while building muscle at the same time. Youtherapy is one of the few practices in Westchester to offer EMSCULPT NEO.

Whether you’re newly interested in cosmetic treatments, not exactly sure where to start or just looking for a safe, clean, and modern location closer to home, check out Youtherapy in Chappaqua. Dr. Greenberg and his staff will take the time to assess your needs, provide high-quality service and help give you back the confidence you may have been lacking. And we can all do with a little more of that.

Why Her Gender Matters (And Why It Doesn’t)

We are fortunate to live in a time when young girls are taught to be more than wives. Slowly, because it is a big undertaking to completely overturn the idea that women are inherently less valuable than their male counterparts, women are being appreciated for more than their relation to men. The change is gradually being made, pioneered by strong confident women all across the globe.

As a teenage girl myself, having strong female role models has completely changed my point of view. My views on what women can and can’t do differ from those of my grandparents, and that is a shift that isn’t unique to my family. Women everywhere are finally gaining representation in government, and women are even the leaders of nations such as Chile, South Korea and Germany. And while the cores of their policies often aren’t inherently different from those of the men in their respective political parties, having a woman leader can have a longstanding impact on the youth growing up under her rule.

Young girls are likely to emulate the behavior of the older women in their lives. They are a reflection of the people who raised them, and having role models such as Hillary Clinton can help raise a generation of girls who want to take action and make a difference in the world.

To a traditionally underrepresented group of people, having a woman president would be an act of validation and a crucial step in the long, meticulous process towards achieving gender equality. Clinton, in particular, supports the right to choose to have an abortion, something her rival Trump does not respect. Many working women see Clinton as the representation they’ve been denied for so long.

But objectively, electing a government official simply because of their gender is never a smart choice regardless of which way that sways you. Clinton and Obama, while both minorities in their own way, do not differ in opinions simply because of gender. Clinton is no more or less qualified than any man with a similar education and the same job experience. Countries with female presidents have not seen more success than those with male presidents. Some people may be put off by Clinton’s email scandal and see it as another example of the stereotype that women are fickle or coy and unable to handle difficult situations and assess the best solution. But as any member of a minority can attest, there is never an umbrella stereotype that fits all people, and it is unfair to pass judgments or make blanket statements.

To many, a woman president represents another step towards equality. But it is important to look at the candidates as people and not as a representation of an ideology; Clinton doesn’t represent feminism, but, as a stand-alone candidate, she can make a positive impact in the lives of many.
