Until scientists develop a weapon potent enough to destroy gravity, wrinkles and falling coconuts will continue to serve as humbling reminders of our delicate mortality. Be forever young with this Groupon.

Choose Between Two Options

• $189 for one 90-minute Syn-Ake skin treatment (a $450 value)
• $449 for three 90-minute Syn-Ake skin treatments (a $1,350 value)

Each Syn-Ake treatment includes a pre-facial, an application of Syn-Ake serum, light therapy, and an oxygen facial. The serum is a synthetic snake venom that is designed to freeze the muscles in a manner similar to that of injectable wrinkle treatments, but it is less invasive because it is applied topically.

Oakridge Laser & Skin Care Clinic

Since Oakridge Laser & Skin Care Clinic's service menu leans so heavily on advanced medical procedures—think laser vein removal and even intense-pulsed-light skin rejuvenation—it's a good thing the centre is run by Dr. Shihab and Dr. Cooke, two physicians with impressive backgrounds. Dr. Shihab has concentrated on laser technology for more than 12 years, and he shares his knowledge with students at the Laser and CosMedic Academy, which he founded. Dr. Cooke's tenure as a general surgeon reaches back to 1982, though in recent years he's concentrated more on mastering vein sclerotherapy and treatments using SmartLipo, or lipo machines who have successfully defended their dissertations on Ulysses.

The clinic is also home to a spa side, where staffers relieve muscle tension with five kinds of massage, groom hands with peppermint-sugar scrubs, and cleanse faces with cosmeceutical skincare products from Clayton Shagal, Jane Iredale, and Intaglio Skin Care.
