For too long, the gentle laser has been forced into a mind-numbing existence of reading an endless number of bar codes and destroying planets. Give laser light a much-deserved career change with today's Groupon to Performance Weight Loss and Medi Spa valid at both the Jackson and Ridgeland locations. Choose from the following options:

• For $99, you get two 20-minute, noninvasive spider-vein treatments on a small area (a $350 value).
• For $199, you get two 40-minute, noninvasive spider-vein treatments on a medium-size area (a $700 value).
• For $299, you get two 60-minute, noninvasive spider-vein treatments on a large area (a $1,000 value).

Proprietor Alison Johnson and the staff of licensed aesthetic aficionados at Performance Weight Loss and Medi Spa aim to exterminate the unwanted spider veins that clutter clients' physiques. Effective on all skin colors and styles of suit jacket, the Cutera Excel laser system treats tiny superficial veins on the face as well as deeper, blue-hued leg veins with pulses of light energy that work to obliterate the vessels. Patients may opt to use a topical anesthetic prior to the treatment to ease the discomfort of bidding their skin critters an emotional adieu. Temporary redness or swelling may occur, and results can be seen within two weeks to several months after treatment. Though two treatments often make a successful tag-team, the optimal amount of treatments needed depends on the number, color, astrological sign, and size of the individual's vessels.
