Laser Tattoo Removal with Harmony XL Pro

Laser tattoo removal uses targeted light energy to break down tattoo ink, which the body then naturally clears over time. Multiple sessions are required.

Your Trusted Partner in Aesthetics

Profile Aesthetic is a medically-led clinic in Aberdeen serving the Northeast of Scotland. Our Specialist Aesthetic Nurses deliver tattoo removal using the Harmony XL Pro laser platform, with honest assessments and structured treatment plans.

Why Choose Laser Tattoo Removal?

Laser tattoo removal is chosen when a tattoo no longer reflects who you are or what you want. Circumstances change — and whatever the reason, the decision to have a tattoo removed is a personal one. At Profile Aesthetic we approach this without judgment, providing honest guidance on what can realistically be achieved and how long the process takes.

The Harmony XL Pro laser targets tattoo pigment with specific wavelengths of light, breaking the ink into smaller particles that the body eliminates naturally. Most tattoos require several sessions spaced weeks apart for meaningful fading or removal.

Procedure Details

The laser delivers short pulses of high-intensity light that are absorbed by the pigment in the tattoo ink. Different wavelengths target different ink colours — the Harmony XL Pro platform can treat black, blue, green, red and yellow inks. The energy breaks the ink into smaller particles, which are then gradually cleared by the body's immune system. Your clinician assesses the tattoo's size, colour, depth and location to plan the course. Sessions are spaced several weeks apart to allow healing between treatments.

Before the Procedure

  • Avoid sun exposure to the tattooed area for several weeks
  • Do not apply self-tan over the tattoo
