Humans maintain their bodies for the same reasons they maintain their houses: to keep the neighbors friendly and to disguise the fact that an alien lives inside them. Conserve your alien covering with today's Groupon for med-spa treatments at Amerejuve. This Groupon is valid at the Houston and Sugar Land locations. Choose from the following three options:

• For $59, you get a microdermabrasion treatment (a $125 value).
• For $129, you get an IPL photofacial (a $400 value).
• For $999, you get a series of five VelaShape II body-contouring and cellulite-reduction treatments (a $2,000 value).

The team of aestheticians at Amerejuve medical spas employs an array of noninvasive techniques to help dismiss wrinkles, blemishes, and cellulite. The microdermabrasion forces wrinkles off skin stages to give understudy cells starring roles on the cheeks, forehead, and chin. During the 45-minute procedure, a gentle mechanical exfoliation sloughs off the top layer of dull, flaky skin along with its entourage of acne scars and sunspots. The treatment is designed to stimulate cell production and requires no downtime, leaving skin smoother, fresher, and ready to be shown off back at work.

The IPL photofacial helps restore younger, healthier looking skin by stimulating collagen production with intense pulsed light. During the 30-minute cosmetic procedure, beams of pulsed light sink into skin to constrict collagen and blood vessels, and reduce the appearance of rosacea, fine lines, large pores, freckles, and pigmented spots. The treatment requires zero downtime and helps halt the march of time with immediate results that become more noticeable in the weeks that follow.

The FDA-approved VelaShape system helps to contour bodies and dismiss cellulite with radio waves, infrared light, and mechanical massage. With results typically appearing after four to six treatments, today's deal for five sessions is intended to smooth and tone one area of the body. Patients can help root out cellulite roosting in the buttocks, love handles, or abdomen, or target the thighs, where the VelaShape system has been approved to diminish both cellulite and unwanted inches. During each treatment, mechanical and vacuum massagers smooth out skin while a duo of bipolar radiofrequency and infrared light energy sink into bodies to increase metabolism and lymphatic drainage, while shrinking fat cells, fat chambers, and fat rumpus rooms. The VelaShape is designed to require no downtime, with results appearing gradually over the course of the treatment.
