Laser Tattoo
Removal
Q-switched Nd:YAG laser tattoo removal at Evolution Aesthetics targets ink granules with ultra-short energy bursts, breaking them into tiny particles the body can clear. The 1064 nm and 532 nm wavelengths cover the most common ink colors, from black and dark blue to red and orange. Sessions are concise and focused, with minimal impact on the surrounding skin and little downtime. We use the Alma Harmony XL PRO platform and offer small and medium area options to match the size of your tattoo. Results build gradually over several weeks as your lymphatic system removes shattered pigment. Most people need a series of visits for full clearance, scheduled a few weeks apart.
How it works
Ultra‑short pulses shatter ink while sparing skin
The Q-switched Nd:YAG laser delivers extremely brief, high‑peak‑power pulses (in the nanosecond range). This creates a photoacoustic effect: ink granules absorb the energy and fracture into microscopic particles without extensive heat diffusion into surrounding tissue. Black and dark blue inks absorb 1064 nm light deeply, while the frequency‑doubled 532 nm wavelength efficiently targets red and orange pigments closer to the surface. The body’s macrophages then carry away the fragmented ink through the lymphatic system over time. On the Alma Harmony XL PRO platform, we adjust spot size, fluence, and repetition rate to suit the tattoo’s colour, depth, and your skin type, aiming for effective clearance with minimal collateral impact. Why Q-switched Nd:YAG? Laser tattoo removal has been used for many years, and modern research shows that the most effective way to remove pigment is with a powerful pulse delivered in a very short time—the Q-switched Nd:YAG laser. During the procedure, pigment is disrupted before surrounding tissue can heat up. Complications are uncommon, and when treatment parameters and aftercare are followed, the skin typically heals without scarring.
High precision, less heat to skin, and shorter sessions
Pinpoint ink targeting
Q-switched nanosecond pulses focus on pigment, leaving nearby skin largely unaffected.
Fast sessions
Typical small-to-medium areas take about 5–20 minutes, fitting easily into a busy day.
Less discomfort
Contact cooling and ultra-short pulses help limit heat build-up and make treatments more tolerable.
Works on common colours
1064 nm treats black and dark blue; 532 nm targets red and orange inks for broader colour coverage.
Non‑surgical approach
No cuts or needles into the skin—the laser energy breaks ink into particles for your body to clear.
Steady fading between visits
Ink continues to lighten for weeks after each session as your immune system removes fragments.
Treatment plan
Predictable plan: spaced visits and steady fading
Most professional tattoos need 6–10+ sessions for significant clearance; amateur or lighter inks may need fewer. Sessions are spaced 6–8 weeks apart to allow your immune system time to remove disrupted pigment and to reduce the chance of pigment changes. A typical small area session takes about 5–10 minutes; a medium area 10–20 minutes on the Alma Harmony XL PRO. We offer two service options: Tattoo removal small area (Alma Harmony XL PRO) and Tattoo removal medium area (Alma Harmony XL PRO). What to do before: avoid tanning and sunbeds for 2–4 weeks; do not use self‑tan on the area; shave excessive hair the day before if needed; pause photosensitising skincare (strong acids/retinoids) 3–5 days prior; arrive with clean, product‑free skin. Aftercare: cool the area for comfort on day 1; apply a thin healing ointment as advised; keep the site clean and dry for 24 hours; do not pick scabs or blisters; avoid hot baths, saunas, pools, and strenuous workouts for 48–72 hours; protect the area from sun with high‑SPF once re‑epithelialised; expect temporary whitening, redness, mild swelling, and possible pinpoint bleeding—these usually settle within days. Fading continues for weeks; a review at 6–8 weeks helps set energy and spot size for the next visit. Colour matters: 1064 nm is best for black/dark blue; 532 nm handles reds/oranges; greens and some pastels can be more stubborn and may need additional sessions. Results are long‑lasting; once fully cleared, ink does not return, though a faint ‘ghost’ outline can sometimes remain, depending on depth and ink type. A patch test may be suggested for darker skin tones or sensitive areas to tailor settings.

- Recent strong sun exposure, sunburn, or self‑tan on the area (within 2–4 weeks)
- History of keloid or hypertrophic scarring
- Use of isotretinoin (Accutane) within the last 6 months
- Photosensitising medications (e.g., certain antibiotics like doxycycline) unless cleared by your doctor
- Uncontrolled diabetes, bleeding disorders, or immune disorders
- Epilepsy triggered by light
- Active eczema or psoriasis flare in the treatment area
- Very recent tattoo (usually wait at least 8–12 weeks before first session)
What goes well with Tattoo Laser Removal?
- Specialist Dermatologist Consultation with 3D Skin TestStart with a skin and tattoo assessment to plan your sessions correctly. The doctor reviews skin tone, tattoo colors, depth, and history of pigment change or keloids, so laser settings and intervals are chosen precisely. You also get a clear aftercare plan to reduce irritation and keep progress steady.
- LED TherapySchedule red/near‑infrared LED in the first 48–72 hours after a laser session to calm redness and support healing. This helps you bounce back faster and stay on the ideal schedule for your next removal visit. It may also reduce the chance of uneven tone afterward.
- Pressotherapy of BodyGentle lymphatic drainage helps your body clear fragmented ink particles between sessions. It can ease swelling and improve visible fading, especially for larger tattoos. Book it 24–72 hours after treatment, not on the same day.
- IPL Hyperpigmentation Laser RemovalAfter most of the tattoo ink is gone, IPL can target lingering brown patches from sun or post‑inflammatory pigment. This evens the skin tone around the treated area for a cleaner finish. Use only when your practitioner confirms there is no residual tattoo pigment.
- Scar Laser RemovalIf old tattoo work or previous treatments left texture changes, a scar laser protocol can smooth the skin. Done after the removal course, it helps the area blend better with surrounding skin. Ask for a plan that spaces sessions to avoid irritation.
