Lasers can be used for a variety of beauty purposes, such as whitening teeth, improving complexions, and momentarily blinding romantic suitors before they spot you wearing sweatpants in public. Harness photons to become photogenic with today's Groupon: for $149, you get three laser hair-removal treatments at Lazersmooth in College Station (up to a $747 value).

The beauty-enhancing engineers at Lazersmooth administer treatments performed in an understanding and professional environment. Using intense-pulsed light, the follicle-purging technician focuses the pulsing beams on the body part sporting unwanted hair—choose from the underarms (a $507 value), lip and chin (a $507 value), front or back of the neck (a $507 value), sideburns (a $297 value), abs (a $687 value), or classic bikini line (a $747 value). Producing a slight sensation of discomfort akin to being snapped by a rubber band, the laser quickly disables the hair-producing cells within each follicle, transforming them into unproductive couch potatoes. Treatments take place over the course of several weeks, enabling a more complete ousting of rogue hairs, and two separate Groupons can target two different hairy areas. Lazersmooth recommends a series of six treatments total for most effective hair removal, though a consultation with an aesthetician before treatment can determine the ideal body-frond-blasting plan.
