Laser Tattoo Removal
Fade or fully remove an unwanted tattoo with laser tattoo removal at Savvy Aesthetics, a boutique med spa serving San Antonio. Using the Lutronic Hollywood Spectra™ laser, we break down tattoo ink particles in the skin, which your body then gradually clears over a series of sessions — whether your goal is complete removal or fading a tattoo enough to cover it with new work.
Book Your ConsultationWhy San Antonio Clients Choose Savvy Aesthetics
Tattoo removal timelines and results vary widely based on ink color, depth, age of the tattoo, and your skin tone — setting realistic expectations upfront matters. At Savvy Aesthetics, we evaluate your specific tattoo during a consultation to give you an honest estimate of how many sessions you'll likely need, rather than a generic promise.

Questions
How many sessions will I need to remove my tattoo?
This varies by tattoo — factors like ink color, depth, and age all matter. Many tattoos require 6–10+ sessions for full removal, though partial fading (for a cover-up, for example) can take fewer.
Does tattoo removal hurt?
Most clients describe the sensation as similar to a rubber band snap. Numbing options are available to improve comfort.
Can all tattoo colors be removed?
Black and dark ink typically respond best to laser treatment. Certain colors, like light blue, green, or yellow, can be more resistant and may require more sessions.
How much time is needed between sessions?
We typically space sessions 6–8 weeks apart to give your skin time to clear ink and fully heal between treatments.
Will there be scarring?
When performed correctly and aftercare instructions are followed, scarring is uncommon, but individual skin response varies — we'll discuss your specific risk factors at your consultation.
