Spider veins look like nets on legs, which can convince the appendages that they're butterflies or babies who kept crawling away. Rein in your good looks with today’s Groupon to Bellevue Medispa. Choose between the following options:
- For $150, you get two spider-vein laser treatments for the legs or face (up to a $700 value).
- For $199, you get three spider-vein laser treatments for the legs or face (up to a $900 value).
The specialists at Bellevue Medispa vanquish spider veins with gentle FDA-approved lasers. During treatments, laser techs direct bundles of light through the topmost layers of skin, aiming the energy at clusters of unsightly blue and purple veins. Lasers clamp vessels shut, causing them to disappear into the ether of their keeper’s anatomy and prohibiting their ability to regenerate. Most patients don’t experience excessive discomfort, as the sensation caused by the procedure has been compared to the feeling of having a rubber band snapped on the skin. Bellevue Medispa recommends refraining from exercise or other activities that increase heart rate for 3–5 days following treatment. On average, it takes two to four treatments to achieve optimal results, depending on the severity of the problem.

The Groupon Guide to: Astronaut Training
NASA's manned shuttle program ended not because of a lack of interest on the part of astronauts but because so few people could complete the rigorous astronaut training process. Here's a look at the extreme tests given to would-be space jockeys:
Human Centrifuge: This giant man-spinner rotates thousands of times per minute to simulate the effects of the space shuttle accidentally getting caught in a giant centrifuge.
16-Minute Mile: Would be easy except that the astronauts have to race while simultaneously writing an essay-length evocation of the perfect sunrise
A Series of Riddles: To prepare for the riddles that the real space station will ask after it comes alive
Media Training: Helps returned astronauts face reporters even after learning the horrible truth that the back half of the moon is simply not there anymore
Forlornness Simulator: Not for space, where astronauts stay occupied with work, but for their return to Earth after the empty vastness of space has opened their eyes to human existence's overwhelming lack of meaning
