Seventeenth-century shipping routes drastically improved once navigators began referring to actual maps of waterways instead of the varicose veins on their thighs. Steer clear of veiny skin with today's Groupon to Sukkar Aesthetic Plastic Surgery & Medical Spa. Choose between the following options:

• For $99, you get an IPL photofacial treatment (a $300 value).
• For $150, you get two spider-vein laser treatments (a $700 value).

Sukkar Aesthetic Plastic Surgery's board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Sam Sukkar puts patients first in his flaw-fumigating cosmetic procedure that begins with a detailed explanation of the treatment. To determine the best course of action, Dr. Sukkar and his savvy staff will consult with each patient, examining their exercise and nutritional habits, past procedures, attitude, and javelin-throwing ability.

Over one hour, the intense pulsed light (IPL) photofacial treatment then focuses its benevolent beams to minimize superficial scars, wrinkles, and sun damage and give the heave-ho to uneven skin tones, age spots, and large pores. Alternately, clients can liberate legs from denim prisons with the spider-vein treatment, which focuses the laser to heat blood vessels and absorb purple-vein-producing hemoglobin. Each of the two treatments will combine to gradually lessen the visibility of veins, allowing clients to sport nearly spotless skin and write clearer crib notes on their inner thighs.
