Taking care of one’s skin leads to a steady stream of compliments, just like hanging out with Grandma’s knitting group. Boost dermal confidence with today's Groupon: for $299, you get three photofacial treatments at Vivia Center for Cosmetic Therapy in McLean (a $900 value).

The technicians at Vivia Center for Cosmetic Therapy aim to renovate skinscapes with noninvasive, light-based treatments and a slew of cosmetic services. During the 20-minute photofacial, the Cutera ProWave 560 laser passes over faces to treat sun damage, minimize wrinkles, and even out skin tone. The lasers sneak into superficial dermal layers to blot out wrinkles, catalyze collagen growth, and erase evidence of sleeping on pillows of squid. As skin tightens, faces shed unsightly sun damage and pigmentation over the course of the three included treatments. An experienced on-staff doctor and an amicable staff ensure that patients have a safe and pleasant beautifying experience by offering an optional numbing cream ($20) to gain fair advantage in a staring contest with lasers.
