Jump to: Scientific Reason Behind Laser Hair Removal
If you follow Groupon, you may remember our popular deal for highly discounted BriteSmile teeth-whitening treatments. Today's Groupon is for a brand-new BriteSmile service that will get rid of all the unsightly hair polluting your otherwise perfect body: laser hair removal. For $185, you get three laser hair removal treatments at BriteSmile Brite Skin Med Spa. That's 79% off a $892 value.
This Groupon is valid for the following areas:
- Women: under arms, bikini line, chin, upper lip
- Men: Back of neck, front of neck, shoulders, hump, baby hairily affixed to upper back
Treatments can take as little as five minutes or up to an hour, depending on the surface area of the region undergoing treatment. After a preliminary consultation session, each laser session removes all hairs in the growing stage. Since not all hairs are in this stage at the same time, three to five BriteSmile treatments usually produce full results. You can expect to see around a 20% reduction in hair after each treatment.
Snag this Groupon today and head to any of BriteSmile's convenient Chicagoland locations. If you're someone who's dreamt about someday getting rid of unwanted hair forever, this is your chance.
For folks who have dealt with unwanted hair, today's Groupon is the first Groupon of the rest of your life. Toss your razor, wax, Nair, person-you-hired-to-pluck-your-body-hair in the trash. After centuries of humans misusing lasers for evil, BriteSmile's advanced laser technology has finally harnessed the power of lasers that the laser gods intended: the power to stop hair follicle growth. It's a fast, safe, and effective method for removing hair forever. Here's a video demonstration of what your laser hair removal treatment will look and sound like:
Scientific Reason Behind Laser Hair Removal
An exhaustive study comparing Nordic people living in Nordic countries to Nordic people living near the equator concluded that Nordic people living in Nordic countries were 18% taller than Nordic people living near the equator. While scientists initially hypothesized many theories explaining the discrepancy in height (feeding Nordics is outlawed by equatorial dictators, Nordic Nordics spend significant time on stretching racks, etc.), they settled on a collective gut feeling that growth cannot exist in heat. Not wanting to let their newfound knowledge go to waste, the scientists figured out how to apply this concept to a consumer-friendly model: laser hair removal.

First let me say that I love laser hair removal. I use one of the 5 locations, and it’s always been a great experience. The staff is wonderful, the location clean. I have had treatment companies, this is by far one of the best.
However… treatments will not eliminate the hair completely on average 40-80% of hair will be gone after 6-9 treatments. I have been having treatments for 7-8 years, now its bi-monthly maintenance… Lasers work best on light skin, dark hair…I am prime candidate since I have both… Facial hair is the longest area that I have discovered to treat, where under arms have had much faster progress.
Suggestion! This is not a pain free method.
I HIGHLY recommend Ibuprofen about an hour before. If you are a woman the best time for treatment is a week after your period, NEVER DURING! You’ll be more sensitive to pain and redness.
For the price this is certainly a great way to test your bodies response to the method. Just walk into it with a level headed reality about the process and the time line.

Contact Groupon—they may let you cancel it. FAQ says they sometimes do this.

Avanti,
Actually, you can cancel your order any time before it has been charged to your card. Go to the groupon page and select “change order”. From there you can choose to cancel your order.

Cassie C replied on Jul 16, 2009Hi Everyone,
As the Fine Print says, this Groupon is only valid for the following areas:
Women: under arms, bikini line, chin, or upper lip
Men: front & back of neck, or shoulders
You are not able to use this Groupon for other areas.You can find out more about the technology they use with the link we gave in the write-up: http://www.britesmile.com/hair/technology.php You could also call the business directly if you’d like more details than you can find on their website.
You are welcome to buy multiple Groupons and use them towards the same area. For instance you can buy two Groupons and use the first one to cover your first three sessions and then use the second Groupon to cover additional sessions you might need (as the write-up described, each person is different and some may need more sessions than 3 to complete the area).
You are able to make change in your quantity, your payment information, or cancel your order altogether all the way up until the deal closes at midnight. You can do that by visiting our site http://www.groupon.com, and clicking the Change My Purchase button that replaces the Buy button once you have signed up for a Groupon. You will not get a confirmation email about your change, but you will be able to see that it went through on our site. If you are unable to do this yourself, you can also contact us at support@groupon.com and we are happy to do it for you.
Best,
Cassie Cohen

Just an update on this… the definition of ‘chin’ is limited to 2 ‘fingers’ under the end of your chin – not all the way back to where your neck begins, that part is NOT included, like it is at the other MedSpa places I have been.
