Though its primary purpose remains disrupting college lectures and movie screenings, laser light has also proven useful in the precise removal of human hair. Today's smooth-making Groupon lets you reap the benefits of America's favorite repurposed supervillain weapon: for $150, you get three laser hair-removal treatments (up to a $600 value) at Aura Skin Spa on Columbus Avenue.

Aura Skin Spa's skilled skin professionals specialize in addressing the hair that sweeps across dermal plains with laser hair-removal treatments. Today's deal gets you a trio of depilatory services that can aid in evicting hair spores from chins ($150 per treatment), ears ($125 per treatment), bikini line ($200 per treatment), and happy trails ($125 per treatment). Other areas available with this Groupon include underarms, center brow, feet and toes, hands, upper lip, neck (front or back), and sideburns. Click here to see a full pricing list. Although the procedure won't work for blond, red, gray, or white hair, skin shade is not an issue, as the center stocks two different high-tech lasers specifically designed for fair or dark dermises.

Normally, a customer can expect to undergo six sessions before the laser's spell fully takes effect; patients are welcome to purchase two Groupons as a means to this end. Customers may also upgrade to Brazilian bikini, male bikini or shoulder treatments for $300, or to extended bikini for $250. The private treatments include safety glasses and cooling procedures to keep the skin from overheating and minimize discomfort.

Must not go tanning, use tanning lotions, or tan in sun for four weeks prior to treatment.
