Hair is like detailed knowledge of X-Files plotlines—while extremely useful, revealing too much of it in the wrong place can sink your social life. Today's Groupon abducts rogue hairs with technology invented by a shadowy group of elites known only as the Syndicate: for $149, you get three laser hair-removal treatment sessions (up to a $509 value, based on current summer pricing) at Alite Laser Hair Removal & Skin Rejuvenation, at either of its two locations in Austin and Round Rock. Your three treatments will send you well on your way to hairless harmony, but results can vary depending on skin and hair type. To that end, you can purchase up to two of this Groupon to get six sessions of hair removal.

The friendly and professional staff at Alite Laser specializes in laser hair-removal treatments, all performed by the hands of highly trained technicians. With this deal, women can defuzz underarms ($100 per treatment), the bikini area ($160 per treatment), the abdomen line ($80 per treatment), or the face ($150 per treatment); upgrade to a Brazilian for $35 more or half-leg for $75 more at the time of each treatment. Smooth, dolphin-like hairlessness extends to the gentlemen, with treatments for the nape of the neck ($120 per treatment), chest ($200 per treatment), front of neck ($80 per treatment), shoulders ($160 per treatment), lower back ($120 per treatment), and stomach ($225 per treatment). Men may also upgrade to a full-back package—including shoulders, neck, and upper arms—for an additional $100 at the time of each treatment.

Laser light is a quick and effective method for removing unwanted hair. A long-pulse, high-energy laser emits a gentle beam of light that harmlessly passes through the skin and directly targets follicles, effectively treating unwanted hair. Unlike the lasers utilized by popular film hero and 2010 California gubernatorial-hopeful Iron Man, these friendly beams are safe, non-violent, and treat hair follicles faster than other methods. Alite offers two forms of laser hair removal, designed for lighter and darker skin types. The friendly staff at Alite is also happy to consult with you on how many treatments it will take to achieve the results you're looking for.

Each visit must be used to treat the same area. Current clients may use this Groupon for a body area not already undergoing treatment at the clinic.
