Laser Treatments
At Savvy Aesthetics, one advanced laser system opens the door to multiple treatments — from an instant-glow facial to permanent tattoo removal. We use the Lutronic Hollywood Spectra, a versatile Q-switched Nd:YAG laser that can be precisely tuned in wavelength, energy, and pulse duration to treat a wide range of skin concerns safely and effectively.
How the Lutronic Hollywood Spectra Works
The Spectra works by delivering short, high-energy pulses of laser light that are selectively absorbed by their target — whether that's a thin layer of carbon applied to the skin, excess melanin causing pigmentation, or ink particles from a tattoo. Because the laser's settings can be precisely adjusted, we can customizes each session to your specific skin type, concern, and goals rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
What This Laser Can Treat
Hollywood Carbon Laser Facial An instant-glow treatment with zero downtime — refines pores, controls oil, and brightens skin. Popular as a monthly maintenance treatment or before a big event.
Pigment Correction Fades sun spots, age spots, and other uneven pigmentation by breaking down excess melanin beneath the skin's surface.
Melasma Correction A gentler, series-based approach using melasma-specific settings to manage this stubborn, hormonally-driven form of hyperpigmentation.
Laser Skin Resurfacing A deeper treatment for acne scarring, fine lines, and overall texture concerns, with visible peeling and downtime in exchange for more dramatic, longer-lasting results.
Tattoo Removal Fades or fully removes unwanted tattoos over a series of sessions by breaking down ink particles for your body to naturally clear.
Why San Antonio Clients Choose Savvy Aesthetics for Laser Treatments
Laser treatments carry real risk when settings aren't calibrated correctly for your specific skin type and concern — too aggressive, and you risk burns, scarring, or pigment rebound. At Savvy Aesthetics, we evaluate your skin thoroughly before every treatment and adjust the Spectra's settings accordingly, rather than running every client through the same default program. As a boutique, appointment-only practice, you also get an unrushed consultation to make sure you're booking the right treatment for your goals — not just the one you searched for.
FAQ'S
Is one laser really able to do all of these treatments?
Yes. The Lutronic Hollywood Spectra is a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser, meaning it can be tuned across different wavelengths, energy levels, and pulse durations — that flexibility is what allows it to safely address such a wide range of concerns, from a no-downtime glow facial to tattoo removal.
How do I know which laser treatment is right for me?
It depends on your specific concern: general glow and pore refinement points toward the Hollywood Carbon Facial, visible sun spots point toward Pigment Correction, patchy hormonal discoloration points toward Melasma Correction, deeper scarring or fine lines point toward Resurfacing, and an unwanted tattoo points toward Tattoo Removal. We'll help you confirm the right fit at your consultation.
Is laser treatment safe for all skin tones?
Laser settings need to be adjusted based on skin tone and type to minimize risk of burns or pigment changes. We evaluate this for every client before treatment.
How many sessions will I need?
This varies significantly by treatment — the Hollywood Carbon Facial can be done monthly with zero downtime, while pigment correction, melasma, resurfacing, and tattoo removal typically involve a series of sessions spaced weeks apart.
Does laser treatment hurt?
Sensation varies by treatment intensity — the Hollywood Carbon Facial is comparable to a warm, snapping sensation, while more intensive treatments like resurfacing use topical numbing due to a more noticeable sensation.
