Tattoo removal: questions patients ask

How does laser tattoo removal work?

Harmony XL Pro Q-switched applicators deliver very short pulses that shatter tattoo ink into particles the body clears over the following weeks.

How many sessions?

Usually between six and twelve, spaced six to eight weeks apart. Amateur tattoos, older tattoos and black ink respond fastest; dense professional colour work takes longer.

Which colours can be removed?

Black and dark blue respond best. Reds and some greens respond to different wavelengths; bright yellows and whites are the most difficult. The clinic will assess your tattoo.

Does it hurt?

Often compared with a rubber band snap. Numbing cream and cooling are used.

Is there downtime?

Expect frosting, redness and sometimes blistering for a few days, then scabbing that must not be picked. Keep the area covered from the sun.

Will it scar?

Scarring is uncommon with correct settings and aftercare. Existing scars within the tattoo will remain.
