While medical spas thrive, the failure of bar-stool scales and prescription-strength ale proved that the public isn't ready for medical pubs. Enjoy the combined benefits of science and beauty with today's Groupon for body or face treatments at Body MedSpa, located in Oak Brook. Choose between the following options:

• For $1,200, you get six VelaShape cellulite and circumferential-reduction treatments (a $2,400 value).
• For $110, you get a HydraFacial with diamondabrasion (a $225 value).

The impressive work of Body's highly skilled staff lineup, which includes doctors and medically trained personnel, has recently earned a shout-out in Time Out Chicago. Level uneven dermal terrain with a series of six VelaShape body treatments, which deploy a high-tech combination of radio frequency, infrared light energy, a gentle vacuum, and mechanical massage to tone skin's surface and reduce the circumference of the treated area. The VelaShape machine skates comfortably across the dermis surface, focusing its skin-perfecting attentions on your choice of areas including the thighs, buttocks, love handles, or abdomen. During the HydraFacial, a diamond-tip dry abrasion applies stylishly compressed coal to your expression factory, sloughing away dead skin without the bourgeois crystals used in traditional microdermabrasion. Next, a pore extraction draws out dirt and vagabond stowaways, followed by a nourishing mask that satiates starving skin. The 60-minute service concludes with a hydrating, free-radical-fighting serum finale. Body's chic interiors ensure eyes equal relishing opportunities for an experience as relaxing for the brain as it is for the body.

A complimentary consultation is required before the VelaShape treatment.
