Tattoo Removal

Tattoo removal in Edinburgh requires a thoughtful and tailored approach to fading or removing unwanted ink, with careful attention to skin health and achievable results.
We understand mistakes can be made, even permanent ones. In modern times, there’s
nothing lasers can’t treat… and tattoos are one of them, even coloured ones.

Multi colour tattoo removal requires a high-powered laser that can deliver enough energy to be absorbed by all colours. The high-power Q Switch Nd YAG 1064nm laser is ideal for treating darker colours while the 532nm wavelength is effective for brighter ink colours.

The mechanical Q Switch laser The Alma Harmony XL Pro Q-Switch laser works by delivering ultra-short pulses that are absorbed by the ink stuck within the deeper layers of the skin, causing the ink particles to disperse by a photo-acoustic effect, while ensuring that the surrounding tissue remains intact. Your body’s lymphatic system then works by clearing the ink particles resulting in the fading of the tattoo with a minimal risk of scarring and discolouration.
