Unlike real spiders, spider veins are impervious to rolled-up magazines and rarely inspire beloved children’s novels. Squash pesky skin arachnids with today’s Groupon from Sharon Browning, M.D. in Franklin. Choose between the following options:

• For $89, you get one 15-minute spider-vein treatment (a $250 value).
• For $169, you get two 15-minute spider-vein treatments (a $500 value).<p>

Dr. Sharon Browning takes aim at unwanted veins on the legs and face as she wields noninvasive Cynosure laser technology. After a brief consultation, she numbs the treatment area with an anesthetic cream, then routs the broken capillaries and spidery vessels often responsible for aching, burning, and cramps of the appendages. Laser light converts into comfortable levels of focused heat, which then converts into tiny ghosts that cause veins to blanch or retreat into the body entirely. The two sessions of the second option may be performed during two different visits or back-to-back.
