Overview
If your once beloved tattoo has become an unwanted one, you’re not alone. Many people can experience regret or dissatisfaction with their tattoos over time, whether due to changes in personal preferences, life events, age-related changes, or the tattoo’s overall coloration and appearance. Fortunately, laser tattoo removal offers a safe and effective solution to help you achieve clearer skin and peace of mind. At Coastal Aesthetics, we use the advanced Harmony XL Pro laser removal technology to remove unwanted tattoos.
Today’s innovative lasers eliminate unwanted tattoos by targeting and breaking down tattoo ink, allowing your body to eliminate it naturally. Whether it’s a small tattoo or a complex design with multiple colors, our experienced team can guide you through the tattoo removal process.
Why Individuals Seek Tattoo Removal
Our clients are interested in professional tattoo removal for several reasons:
Regret or Change in Personal Preferences
Over time, your tastes and interests may change, which is normal. A tattoo that once held meaning or reflected your personality may no longer align with your current values or aesthetic preferences. Others find that they outgrow their tattoos.
Career or Professional Concerns
Certain professions or industries have strict standards regarding visible tattoos, which prompt you to seek removal to pursue job opportunities or meet professional appearance requirements.
Life Changes
Major life events, like a new relationship, becoming a parent, or other significant milestones, may cause you to reconsider your tattoos. You may want a clean slate to better reflect the next phase of your life.
Tattoo Dissatisfaction
Some tattoos may turn out differently than expected due to poor artistry, placement, or fading over time. If you are unhappy with your tattoo's appearance or quality, consider having it professionally removed.
Desire For A Fresh Start
People may want to remove tattoos associated with their past, whether those represent a specific period of life, a relationship, or a mindset they've moved beyond.
Improved Technology
Advances in laser technology have made tattoo removal more effective and accessible, encouraging those who once thought their tattoos were permanent to explore removal options.
Natural. Conservative. Beauty.
How Harmony XL Pro Works
At Coastal Aesthetics, we use the cutting-edge Harmony XL Pro by Alma Lasers, an advanced device that utilizes Q-switched technology to break down tattoo pigments into smaller particles. This allows the body to naturally eliminate them through the lymphatic system over time, leading to significant fading or complete removal of unwanted tattoos. Whether it’s a simple black outline or a tattoo with vibrant colors, Harmony XL Pro can treat various pigments with precision.
Here’s how the process works:
Targeting Tattoo Pigments
The Harmony XL Pro laser emits light energy selectively absorbed by tattoo pigments. Different wavelengths target a range of colors, from darker inks like black and blue to brighter pigments like red and yellow. This versatility makes it highly effective at treating all tattoo colors.
Gradual Fading
After the laser fragments the ink particles, your body’s immune system clears the unwanted tattoos away over time. Depending on the size, color, and depth of the tattoo, multiple sessions may be required for complete removal. The Harmony XL Pro delivers energy quickly, meaning fewer sessions compared to older lasers, with reduced risk of scarring.
Safe & Effective
Laser tattoo removal at Coastal Aesthetics is performed by highly trained professionals using FDA-cleared technology. We prioritize safety and comfort, and our advanced laser minimizes the risk of side effects, allowing for faster healing while removing your unwanted tattoos.
How Long Does It Take?
The total duration of laser tattoo removal depends on several factors:
- Larger tattoos take longer to treat and often require more sessions.
- Darker inks (black, blue) respond faster than lighter colors (yellow and red), which can require more treatments.
- Older tattoos may be easier to remove since the ink has already started breaking down over time.
- Skin tone and type can also influence how the skin reacts to laser treatment.
- On average, tattoo removal requires six to 12 sessions spaced four to six weeks apart, allowing the body time to clear away the fragmented ink between treatments.
