Bellevue Beauty and Salons

Much like the brother that's been crashing on your couch for six months running, hair has a tendency to show up in places where it's not wanted and then never leave. Today's Groupon will remove these pesky pelos for good with an hour-long electrolysis session at Trevino Skin Care (the artist formerly known as Zwickert Electrolysis) in downtown Seattle for $30 (a $66 value). If you're part sasquatch on your mother's side, you can even buy two Groupons for two full hours of hair-vanishing activity.

With upcoming summer music festivals and impromptu late-night synchronized swims, bare skin will be making its seasonal comeback once again. Fist pump to the next show with the confidence provided by a full arm wax ($45+) or underarm treatment ($25+). Wick the spring showers from your smoothened features with a full face wax (excluding brows, $35+), or decrease the speed of pondering by targeting just the chin ($20+). In the event that you attend a nervous public speech, remain confident even in imaginary attire with a full leg and bikini wax (from $80). A full list of services and prices can be found here.

At the helm of Seattle Medical Aesthetics are Drs. Susan Petcoff and Lynne Haspedis, who have both been practicing medicine in Seattle since 1988. Both board-certified physicians also come from backgrounds in obstetrics and gynecology, making them particularly qualified to address the concerns of women who flock to the center for anti-aging treatments. Skin-smoothing injections of Botox and Juvéderm are a center specialty, as are prescription-grade chemical peels and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatments that do everything from correcting uneven pigmentation and restricting hair growth to helping skin reminisce about its disco-dancing days. Licensed aesthetician Darla Green is also on hand to recommend products by SkinCeuticals, ViDerm, and Glytone, and to share tips she learned while working as a makeup artist for film and TV.

With the belief that "it doesn't have to hurt to heal," Al and Kate Reust, along with their team of naturopathic physicians, promote well-being through homeopathic medicine, massage therapy, and other holistic treatments. Their resident naturopathic provider, Dr. Xochtil Palomino, gets to the root of ailments before combating them with herbal teas, tinctures, and medicine. Kate, meanwhile, takes a hands-on approach to health with her extensive repertoire of massage techniques, which she enhances with essential oils, heated stones, and one eye twinkle from Fabio.

Double-board-certified and licensed cosmetic surgeon Dr. Alex Sobel busies Radiant MedSpa's staff with an array of services that refine skin surfaces. Injectables such as Botox and Sculptra free faces of wrinkles or circles around the eyes that reveal age. IPL photofacials and fractional skin-resurfacing treatments leave skin as brilliant as an Einstein wrapped in reflective tape; the spa's laser systems can also halt hair production in follicles or zap away spider veins. Glycolic or lactic acids reveal youthful skin and fight blemishes during chemical peels, and HCG weight-loss programs bolster weight loss with a combination of booster shots, protein shakes, and vitamins.

The aestheticians and therapists at Bella Fiore Organic Med Spa harness the power of both topical and medical spa treatments. Using organic ingredients, traditional facials and massages pair with medical-spa technologies such as Dermaroller and LHE. The staff doctor oversees consultations regarding weight-loss services and vitamin B-12 injections.
