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 $99, you get three laser hair-removal treatments at Innovative Directions in Health (up to a $600 value) in Edina. This deal can be used on facial-area (lip, brow, chin, cheeks, sideburns), bikini-line, or underarm hair removal.

Innovative Directions in Health’s follicle-zapping specialists can sharp-shoot unwanted hair from a variety of prickly-prone areas. Dr. Khalid Mahmud, a leader in anti-aging technology and the former chief of medicine at North Memorial Medical Center in Minneapolis, supervises a skilled team that removes hair medically and efficiently, without razors, waxes, or MDA-banned slumber-party incantations. Using Aurora Laser Hair Removal technology, trained staff members send controlled pulses of electrical energy and light into skin, destroying hair at its roots. Streamline upper lips (a $300 value), chins (a $375 value), underarms (a $600 value), and bikini lines (a $600 value) to satisfy mankind’s envy of aerodynamic animals. Each pulse lasts less than one second and most people require between four and six treatments for total hair obliteration; combine two Groupons to achieve the recommended dose of focused phasing.
