In one of the most miraculous transformations in the natural world, an ugly caterpillar wraps itself in a cocoon and emerges six to eight weeks later as either a beautiful butterfly or a miniature grizzly bear. Revel in a more predictable beautifying treatment with today's Groupon: for $80, you get a full-body Universal Contour wrap at Sweet Physique (a $209 value, including GST).

Sweet Physique's spa specialists swaddle clientele with two-hour Universal Contour wraps, which encase patrons to tighten skin follicles and oust unwanted toxins. Technicians begin each session by weighing their clients and measuring 18 targeted body points to determine starting points. Therapists then cover bodies neck-to-toe in a contouring wrap made from blends of sodium chloride, magnesium sulphate, and organic iodine and soaked in a natural sea-clay solution. Cocooned clients recline for an hour in the spa's soothing environs while listening to calming background music and audio-books narrated by whales. Finally, therapists unwrap bodies and conduct post-session measurements of the same areas. First-timers can expect a loss of at least six inches in circumference and a new appreciation for artfully wrapped burritos.

Sweet Physique guarantees lasting treatment effects for up to 30 days for first-time users, as long as there is no weight gain, and grants a complimentary re-wrap to unsatisfied patients who lose less than six inches.
