If you have changed your mind about a once-cherished tattoo, you are not alone.
Every year, millions of Americans decide that they no longer wish to display a tattoo that they once paid good money to etch onto their body. Luckily, there is an easy, straightforward way to remove tattoo ink using lasers. Our strategic tattoo removal in Austin can restore your skin’s natural beauty without undue discomfort or downtime.
The Spectrum Tattoo Removal Laser radiates light of specific wavelengths in an ultra-short nanosecond energy pulse. This pulse penetrates the tissue and is absorbed by the pigment. From this, the pigment particles are deconstructed into small fragments and parts of them will be bounced out of the skin and the other parts will be split into tiny particles that can be absorbed by the body's cells. This machine is particularly effective on black, blue, red and pink inks but fading can be observed in all colors to some degree.
While certain ink colors may be more difficult to remove than others, Saving Face prides itself on providing the most cutting-edge technology in the industry, so rest assured, we will get the job done and restore your skin to its natural, tattoo-free state. Our lasers work faster and smarter to deliver outstanding results with the least amount of discomfort possible.
The majority of the skin’s healing after a session of our laser tattoo removal in Austin will occur within 72 hours; however, you may experience slight side effects for several weeks. Denser ink will require more sessions to achieve comprehensive results. As your treatments progress, your skin will heal faster. Those with high-functioning immune systems will heal the fastest.

After you’ve gone home, we will follow up to ensure your recovery is on track.
