Spider veins look like nets on legs, which can convince the appendages that they're butterflies or babies who kept crawling away. Reassure limbs of their true identities with today's Groupon: for $99, you get a consultation and spider-vein-reduction treatment (up to eight injections) at DeKalb Vein Center in Decatur (a $369 value).
Certified in sclerotherapy—the technique used to treat blood-vessel malformations—Dr. Katz leads a team of medical professionals in freeing innocent legs from the stringy grips of superficial spider veins. An expert first examines epidermal doodles for signs of underlying conditions or artistic genius, and then proceeds by prepping up to eight pigment-erasing injections. As sclerotherapy solution enters unwanted veins, the squiggles collapse and their contents are reabsorbed into the body as belly-button-fuzz fertilizer. Visible results can take hold after just one 30-minute session, though the treatment does not prevent the formation of future spider veins.
Patients may experience mild discomfort, worsened if injections coincide with being tickled by a chimp. To treat larger or more serious patches, Groupon customers are entitled to additional injections at a reduced rate of $10 each ($15 normally).

The Groupon Kidz Quorner: Backyard Treasures
Long summer days can only mean one thing: unattended ice-cream cones will be swarming with fireflies come nightfall. They can also only mean that it's time to dig up your backyard to see what buried treasures you can find. What are the most common discoveries?
- Older brother's collection of dog-eared motorcycle photographs
- 26 years of letters to Santa Claus
- That underground video arcade you thought was just a dream
- Time capsule filled with shovels from digs past
- A treasured chest—empty but with lots of sentimental value
- A magic machine that lets you forget what you learned in school that day
- Plastic bag full of neighbor's nail clippings
- Uh-oh, wires!
