Your face is your personal billboard; if it falls into disrepair, teenagers will be tempted to spray-paint it with mustaches. Stave off surly graffiterati with today’s Groupon: for $49, you get two microdermabrasion treatments (a $250 value) at Dermatology and Laser Centre of Studio City.

Dermatology and Laser Centre of Studio City’s DiamondTome microdermabrasions are crystal-free, using a natural diamond wand rather than abrasive chemical crystals. During the 50-minute treatment, the diamond-tipped device gently sloughs off layers of dead skin, like peeling open a banana to reveal the creamy mashed potatoes inside. Steam and a massk are included to moisturize and nourish newly radiant skin, and lactic acid, which helps soften especially rough patches, is administered as necessary. At the conclusion of the countenance cleansing, most fine lines and wrinkles melt away, uneven tones even out, and enlarged pores shrink like the benefits of higher education.

There’s no down time following a DiamondTome microdermabrasion; the entire process could be completed in a lunch break and you could readily return to work at the shovel factory. But, if you’d rather stick around, Dermatology and Laser Centre of Studio City’s staff is friendly enough not to ask you to leave. Ask them about other services, such as laser PhotoDynamic therapy for acne and laser tattoo removal, toward which you can use the 35% discount included with this Groupon. Dermatology and Laser Centre of Studio City’s physician and dermatological surgeon, Gene Rubinstein, is a board-certified dermatologist and graduate of the Boston University School of Medicine who specializes in treating psoriasis, aging skin, acne, and chilly bloods.

In addition to the two microdermabrasion treatments, Groupon bearers are entitled to 20% off any skin care products or 35% off any laser hair-removal package (5 treatments), up to 20 Botox Cosmetic units, or .8cc of Juvederm.
