Light comes in many forms—be it beautiful, like a rainbow, practical, like a laser, or awe-inspiring, like an applause sign’s first live studio performance. Harness the beautifying power of light with today's Groupon: for $899, you get six Zerona body-slimming laser treatments at Austin Body Contouring, with locations at Sun Lounge Spa in Lakeway and Whole Body Health in Austin (a $1,500 value).

Under the expert guidance of Dr. Jeffrey Ulery, the teams at Sun Lounge Spa and Whole Body Health harness the FDA-approved Zerona cold-laser technology, designed to reduce corporeal circumference by an average of 3.5 inches. During each session, clients relax beneath a beam-slinging apparatus for 40 minutes as it glides low-light lasers over their waistline, back, hips, and thighs, emulsifying adipose tissue so that fat can sneak its way out of the body. The disintegrated lipid depots can then be absorbed by the body’s obsessively tidy lymphatic system and expelled through the body’s natural detoxification process and complex system of waterslides. The noninvasive treatment does not require any recovery time.

Technicians perform the six treatment sessions within 72 hours of one another over the span of two weeks. Patients can boost results with healthy eating habits, daily exercise, and regular hydration. Like sumo-wrestling costumes, caffeine and alcohol decrease the procedure’s potency.
