So that "Billy Bob" tattoo wasn't your brightest idea. Don't be blue. Just get it zapped off (along with unwanted hair, spider veins, varicose veins and that mole on your back). 

Although Blue Medi Beauty Spa specializes in medical treatments, the modern, curved lines and blue accents in the sparkling white lobby look nothing like a doctor's office. Housed in the historic art deco La Reina Theater, Blue boasts 6,000 square feet of space, with 12 treatment rooms and a juice bar. Laser hair and tattoo removal, Botox injections and IPL FotoFacials are among the quick, relatively painless and mostly noninvasive services (bikini hair removal does get a little personal) you can get on your lunch break or after work. Certified nurses perform the laser treatments that hurt no more than a pin prick or a hair being plucked; there's no reason to fear the laser pointed even at your most intimate parts. The spa even offers different shapes for those creative hairlines, like the Tiffany Box, which includes dyeing a patch blue, and the Swarovski, with stick-on crystals. If you're just looking to relax, the spa also offers massages and facials.—Mai Dinh
