The amazing benefits of lasers were discovered in 1923, but scientists waited to share them with the public until they bored of making the cat chase the dot around the room. Experience the altruism of benevolent light emissions with today's Groupon: for $149, you get a microlaser peel from Elizabeth Slass Lee, M.D. in Berkeley (a $300 value).

Lee, a highly respected plastic surgeon, exercises her aesthetic expertise with nonsurgical procedures such as the microlaser peel, a resurfacing treatment performed on either the face or the back of the hands. Under the effective eye of the Sciton Erbium laser, pigmentation irregularities ease into oblivion, the appearance of scars and wrinkles wanes, and lazy layers of skin snap to attention with a newfound sense of self. The clinic's soothing atmosphere complements the photonic particles' superpowers, like any sidekick, with levelheaded coos of calm. Groupon clients also receive half off a follow-up laser peel, ensuring optimal epidermal rejuvenation. Customers may call to make an appointment and must schedule a 15-minute complimentary consultation that is separate from the treatment.
