Introduction

Tattoo removal is a popular procedure that uses laser technology to remove unwanted tattoos. The Harmony Q-Switched ND:YAG laser is a powerful tool that can effectively break up tattoo ink, making it easier for the body to naturally remove the pigment. This process aims to reduce the pigment tattoo rather than entirely remove it.

About the treatment

During a tattoo removal session, the laser delivers short, intense pulses of light energy to the tattoo. This energy is absorbed by the tattoo ink, causing it to break into tiny particles. The body’s immune system then removes these particles over a period of 8 weeks through the lymph system.

Benefits, results and expected outcomes

Effective: The Harmony Q-Switched ND:YAG laser is one of the most effective lasers for tattoo removal.

Safe: When performed by a qualified professional, laser tattoo removal is a safe procedure.

Minimal downtime: Most people can return to their normal activities immediately after treatment.

The number of treatments needed to remove a tattoo will vary depending on the size, colour, and age of the tattoo. Most people will need multiple treatments to achieve their desired results.

Tattoo removal – Frequently Asked Questions

What does the treatment feel like?

The lasers do cause discomfort during treatment, similar to being “snapped” with a rubber band. Most patients equate the pain of tattoo removal with the pain of getting the tattoo. Some areas are more sensitive than others, such as ankles and the shoulder blade. The pain tends to decrease as treatment progresses and the tattoo ink fades. Most patients tolerate the discomfort of treatment very well. Topical anaesthetic and cooling are available to ensure your comfort.

How long does the treatment take?

Typical treatment sessions last between 5 and 40 minutes depending on the size of the tattoo.

Are there any after effects following the treatment?

Redness and swelling may occur, similar to sunburn. This settles within a few days. Some patients may blister, which is quite normal and does not indicate potential scarring. Blistering does not require treatment and will usually clear within days. The treated area should not be exposed to strong sunlight between sessions without the use of sunblock (SPF 30).
