Alpharetta, GA Spa and Massage

At Mind & Body Day Spa, staff members eschew fluff and pretensions to stay focused on their main goals: to help clients relax and see beautifying results. Their customized skincare treatments harness plant-based ingredients such as pineapple enzymes and pumpkin extracts, giving complexions a natural glow. Alternatively, back massages, scrubs, and wraps extend relaxation throughout the body, much like remembering that you definitely did turn the death ray off before you left the house. Spa packages combine services for more complete pampering.

Like the receipts, crumbs, pennies, and lint that linger in the depths of your purse, dead skin cells and dirt can clog your pores and form a dingy, dead-face mask over your own beautiful mug. Today's side deal dumps your face purse upside down, shakes out the crumbs, and vacuums up the grossness. For $75, you get an hour-long microdermabrasion treatment at Spa Du Jour, a $150 value.

Today's side deal to Renewed Image gets you three deluxe laser treatments for $184 (an up to a $1,795 value). Zap the hair from its hirsute hiding places on your otherwise aerodynamic body, rejuvenate your skin to reduce lines and discoloration, erase the inky mistakes you once thought permanent, and blast cellulite using the same laser light you use to blast Stormtroopers. Your Groupon can also be used for non-lasery treatments such as microdermabrasion, chemical peels, or mineral body wraps.

Opt for a cut and style ($65) with a professional L’Oreal hair treatment ($25) or a one-hour facial ($82) with anti-aging, anti-acne, lightening, nourishing, or soothing properties. A spa mani-pedi combo ($84) can wow thumb-wrestling opponents and brighten bland sidewalks. Or soften muscle molds with an exfoliating, customized body scrub ($70), a detoxifying and hydrating Dead Sea body mask ($85), or a one-hour Swedish massage ($80). The experienced staff at Salon D’Allure meticulously and efficiently bolsters beauty, like a squad of Dr. Berserko’s henchmen decorating the interior of his volcano lair with tasteful lava lamps. Salon D’Allure uses high-quality Kérastase and L’Oreal products.

The clinicians and dietitians at WeightLoss MD, helmed by medical director Dr. David Wyatt, tip the scales in dieters' favor by employing lab test results and custom, one-on-one advice. Their client base is 85% composed of women, so they understand the unique weight-loss challenges posed to women, but they are just as skilled at helping men ditch unhealthy belly fat. Lipotropic injections and appetite suppressants bolster calorie burning and control, and the meal plans are tailored to fit each participant's lifestyle, tastes, and mouth size.

Dr. M. Farooq Ashraf mastered the excimer laser as a member of the faculty at Johns Hopkins University, and he now wields the ultramodern tool as he adds to his career tally of more than 35,000 LASIK procedures. As founder and medical director of Atlanta Vision Institute, he draws upon his skills as a board-certified ophthalmologist to correct nearsighted, farsighted, and astigmatic vision with refractive surgery. In addition to giving the gift of sight, Dr. Ashraf gives back to the community by supporting local charities and providing discounted services to financially strapped Cyclopes.
