The full lineup of medical-grade laser and light treatments at DaVida Medical Aesthetics in San Antonio — from gentle IPL photofacials with low downtime to the most powerful resurfacing lasers in our practice, plus permanent hair reduction, tattoo removal, spider vein treatment, and skin tightening. Every laser is operated by trained, licensed providers with settings calibrated to your skin type. Most treatments are priced with significant package savings — because lasting laser results almost always come from a series, not a single session.
Six laser and light treatments addressing concerns from sun damage and uneven tone to permanent hair removal, tattoo removal, deep resurfacing, vein clearing, and skin tightening. Each treatment is calibrated to your skin type and concern, with package pricing on the treatments most clients commit to a series for full results.
The gentlest in-office laser for sun spots, brown spots, broken capillaries, and rosacea redness — low downtime, visible improvement in 1–3 sessions. Available for face ($200), chest ($250), or hands/neck ($125), with savings on the 3-session package.
Our most powerful one-and-done laser — removes the damaged surface layer of skin to dramatically improve acne scars, deep wrinkles, texture, and stubborn pigmentation. Real downtime (5–7 days), real results.
Long-term hair reduction priced by area — small areas (chin, lip, ears) $65/$355 for 6, medium areas (underarms, bikini, beard, neck) $100/$545 for 6. Six sessions equals significant lifetime reduction.
Q-switched laser breaks up tattoo ink for natural clearance over multiple sessions. Priced by size: small $85, medium $150, large $200, XL $300 — with 10% off a 3-pack or 15% off a 6-pack.
Targeted laser treatment for visible facial and leg veins — no needles, no incisions, no extended downtime. 30-minute sessions; most clients see significant improvement after 1–3 treatments.
Microneedling combined with radiofrequency energy for dramatic skin tightening, deeper collagen, and visible firming. The treatment we recommend for skin laxity, jowls, neck looseness, and significant acne scars when standard microneedling isn't enough.
It depends on what you're treating. For sun damage, brown spots, and redness with low downtime, IPL is the entry point. For deeper correction (acne scars, deep wrinkles, stubborn texture), Erbium Resurfacing is the most powerful option. For unwanted hair, laser hair removal delivers permanent reduction. For tattoos, our Q-switched laser fades ink over a series. For visible facial or leg veins, our spider vein laser collapses them. For skin tightening, Matrix RF combines microneedling with radiofrequency. We help match the right laser to your concern during consultation.
Most laser treatments work best in a series. IPL: 3 sessions for full results. Erbium: typically one transformative session, sometimes a second six weeks later. Laser hair removal: 6 sessions over six-plus months. Laser tattoo removal: 6–10 sessions for complete removal, depending on tattoo size and ink type. Spider vein removal: 1–3 sessions. Matrix RF Microneedling: 3 sessions spaced 6 weeks apart. We confirm the right plan for you during consultation, and our package pricing is designed around the recommended series for each treatment.
Most of our lasers are safe for darker skin tones with proper calibration — we adjust settings, depth, and intensity based on your skin type. Some lasers (particularly ablative resurfacing like Erbium at deeper settings) carry higher pigment-shift risk for melanin-rich skin, and we may recommend gentler alternatives or modified protocols. Matrix RF and IPL with conservative settings are typically appropriate. Safety always comes before intensity at our practice — we screen and counsel during consultation.
Varies dramatically by treatment. IPL: 1–3 days of mild redness. Spider vein removal: minimal, 1–3 days. Laser hair removal: same-day return to activity. Laser tattoo removal: 7–14 days of healing per session. Matrix RF Microneedling: 2–4 days of mild redness and swelling. Erbium resurfacing: 5–7 days of meaningful recovery with peeling. We always discuss downtime expectations before booking so you can plan around your schedule and avoid major events during recovery windows.
Most clients describe laser sensations as warm rubber-band snaps. We use cooling devices throughout treatment to manage discomfort, and we apply topical numbing for the deeper treatments (Erbium, Matrix RF, tattoo removal). Most clients tolerate treatments comfortably; sensitive areas (upper lip, bikini, near bone) can be more uncomfortable but remain manageable. We always check in throughout treatment and adjust pace or intensity if needed.
A few common rules across all lasers: avoid sun exposure for at least two weeks before treatment (tanned skin reacts more strongly to lasers), pause retinol and AHA/BHA for 3–5 days before, and shave (don't wax) the area within 24 hours of laser hair removal. Stay well hydrated and eat before your appointment. We send specific preparation instructions with every laser booking — read them carefully, since proper prep meaningfully affects both comfort and results.
