For many individuals, getting a tattoo is a meaningful and personal choice. However, as time passes, circumstances may change, and what was once a source of pride or joy may become a source of regret or discomfort. Perhaps a person's life circumstances have shifted, and a tattoo that once held significance no longer feels relevant.
Whatever the reason may be, the decision to pursue laser tattoo removal is a personal one, and it's important for individuals to feel supported throughout the process. At Profile Aesthetic, we understand the complex emotions and motivations that can lead to a desire for tattoo removal, and we strive to provide compassionate care that addresses both the physical and emotional aspects of the procedure.
Laser tattoo removal is a non-invasive procedure that uses laser technology to remove unwanted tattoos. The laser targets the pigment of the tattoo ink, breaking it down into smaller particles that are naturally eliminated by the body. The Harmony XL Pro laser is used to remove a variety of tattoo ink colors, including black, blue, green, red, and yellow, and is effective in removing tattoos of different sizes and shapes. Typically, multiple sessions are required to achieve complete removal of the tattoo.
Before your laser tattoo removal procedure, a Specialist Aesthetic Nurse will discuss your medical history, perform a physical exam, and assess your tattoo to determine the best course of treatment. They will also provide you with specific instructions to prepare for the procedure, which may include:

After your laser tattoo removal procedure, the treated area may be red, swollen, or blistered for a few days. You may also experience some discomfort or mild pain. It is important to follow the aftercare instructions you are given to promote healing and reduce the risk of complications. These may include:
