Like snakes, humans must shed their skin in order to maintain a supple appearance and more easily wrap themselves around their prey. Boost your formidable glow with today's Groupon: for $99, you get three microdermabrasion treatments (an $85 value each), three acne chemical peels (a $75 value each), or three sun-damage melasma peels (a $95 value each) at Inverness Dermatology in Hoover (up to a $285 total value).

Under the supervision of Dr. Elizabeth S. Jacobson, the staff at Inverness Dermatology brings a medical precision to the finicky art of facescaping. Whether to brighten lifeless skin or erase the self-portrait you painted on your face, Inverness Dermatology's epidermal experts can customize their tools and techniques for each individual's needs. Dull façades can benefit from microdermabrasion, which breaks through masks of dead skin to reveal the youthful, fresh glow lurking underneath. Acne peels target blackheads with salicylic acid, vanquishing facial flaws and degreasing oily skin as it sloughs off and regenerates in two to three days. With the melasma peel, customers choose between different strengths of glycolic acids by testing which ones best polish Abraham Lincoln's face on a penny. Then, as the skin peels, the solution blanches dark patches and sunspots, the skin recovering in two to five days.
