How does Tattoo Removal work?
During tattoo removal, laser energy is used to break down the tattoo ink into smaller fragments. The body's immune system then recognizes and removes these ink particles over time, leading to the gradual fading or removal of the tattoo.
What are the benefits of Tattoo Removal?
- Effective removal of tattoo ink: The Harmony XL Pro uses advanced laser technology to effectively break down tattoo ink particles, allowing for efficient removal.
- Minimal damage to surrounding skin: The laser energy selectively targets the tattoo ink, minimizing damage to the surrounding skin, resulting in reduced risk of scarring or pigmentation changes.
- Versatility: The Harmony XL Pro offers a range of laser wavelengths, allowing for the treatment of various ink colors and tattoo types.
- Customised treatment: The laser settings can be adjusted to target specific tattoo characteristics, such as size, color, and depth, ensuring personalized and precise treatment.
- Quick recovery time: Following each session, patients typically experience minimal downtime, allowing them to resume their daily activities soon after the treatment.
- Gradual fading or removal: With multiple treatment sessions, the Harmony XL Pro facilitates gradual fading or complete removal of tattoos, allowing for a more natural-looking result.
How many treatments are required?
The number of sessions required for tattoo removal can vary depending on several factors, including the size, color, depth, and age of the tattoo, as well as individual skin characteristics. On average, it can take anywhere from 6 to 12 sessions to achieve significant fading or complete removal of a tattoo. However, it's important to note that this is just an estimate, and the exact number of sessions needed can vary for each individual. A consultation with a qualified practitioner is necessary to determine the specific treatment plan and number of sessions required for your tattoo removal.
What to expect during treatment?
You may feel a sensation similar to a rubber band snapping against your skin or a mild stinging sensation during the laser treatment.
Post-treatment care: After the procedure, the practitioner will provide instructions on how to care for the treated area. This will include applying aloe Vera on the area, keeping the area clean and dry, and avoiding sun exposure or certain activities that could irritate the skin.
What is the technology used for tattoo removal?
Laser Energy: The laser used in tattoo removal emits highly concentrated light energy in short pulses. This laser energy is absorbed by the tattoo ink pigments.
Selective Targeting: The laser light is specifically targeted at the tattoo ink, bypassing the surrounding skin. Different wavelengths of laser light may be used to target different colors of ink.
Ink Fragmentation: When the laser light interacts with the tattoo ink, it causes a rapid heating and expansion of the ink particles. This process, known as photothermolysis, breaks down the large ink molecules into smaller fragments.
Immune Response: Once the ink particles are fragmented, your body's immune system recognizes them as foreign substances. The immune system then works to remove these ink fragments from the body.
Lymphatic System: The fragmented ink particles are gradually cleared away by the lymphatic system, which is responsible for filtering waste and toxins from the body. The lymphatic system transports the ink fragments to the lymph nodes, where they are eventually eliminated from the body.
Fading and Clearance: Over time, as the immune system continues to remove the fragmented ink particles, the tattoo gradually fades. Multiple tattoo removal sessions are typically required to achieve significant fading or complete removal.
It's important to note that the body's ability to remove tattoo ink fragments varies from person to person. Factors such as the size, color, depth, and age of the tattoo, as well as individual immune system responses, can influence the effectiveness of the removal process. Additionally, certain colors of ink (such as black and dark blue) tend to respond better to laser treatment than lighter colors like yellow or green.
The tattoo removal process is not instantaneous, and it requires time for the body to eliminate the fragmented ink particles. Patience, adherence to the recommended treatment plan, and following post-treatment care instructions are crucial for achieving optimal results.

By conducting this patch test, we can effectively minimize the risk of adverse reactions and maximize the effectiveness of the treatment. Your safety and satisfaction are our top priorities, and we appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this important step.

"Exceeds my expectations"
I can't believe the incredible results I've achieved with this tattoo removal treatment! I had a colorful tattoo that I desperately wanted to get rid of, and this treatment exceeded my expectations. After just a few sessions, the tattoo started fading significantly, and now it's almost completely gone!
