Alma Harmony® allows us to offer both Q-switched laser tattoo removal and ablative laser resurfacing.
Although both use laser technology, they work in very different ways and are used for very different concerns.
Our Tattoo Removal
Q-Switched 1064 nm & 532 nm Laser
Our ClearLift Pro QS configuration uses Q-switched 1064 nm and 532 nm wavelengths for tattoo removal.
Different wavelengths can be selected according to the colour and characteristics of the tattoo.
Q-switched laser energy targets tattoo pigment with very short pulses, fragmenting the pigment so that it can gradually be cleared by the body’s natural processes.
Tattoo removal is a gradual process
- Tattoo colour
- Ink density
- Depth of pigment
- Tattoo age
- Location
- Previous treatment
- Individual response
We will assess the tattoo and explain realistic expectations before treatment.

Advanced Ablative Laser Resurfacing
Sup-Erb 2940 nm
Sup-Erb is our ablative Er:YAG 2940 nm laser resurfacing treatment.
This is fundamentally different from non-ablative treatments such as ClearLift Pro and ClearSkin Pro.
Ablative resurfacing deliberately removes controlled areas of the skin’s surface to stimulate the skin’s healing and renewal processes.
It is therefore a more intensive treatment with greater downtime and aftercare.
Sup-Erb may be suitable for:
- Acne scarring
- Surgical scarring
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Uneven skin texture
- Enlarged pores
- Photodamaged skin
- Surface irregularities
- More advanced skin resurfacing
Why Choose Ablative Resurfacing?
Non-ablative treatments are not always enough when the primary concern is significant texture or scarring.
Sup-Erb allows your clinician to perform a more intensive resurfacing treatment where appropriate.
Because it is ablative, careful assessment, preparation and aftercare are essential.
Tattoo Removal FAQs
Q-switched laser energy targets tattoo pigment and fragments it into smaller particles, which can then be gradually cleared by the body.
There is no fixed number. Tattoo characteristics and individual response vary considerably.
Ablative laser resurfacing deliberately removes controlled areas of the skin’s surface to stimulate skin renewal.
No. ClearLift Pro is non-ablative skin rejuvenation. Sup-Erb is ablative resurfacing. They have different indications, treatment intensities, recovery periods and aftercare requirements.
Yes, selected acne scars may be suitable for ablative resurfacing following clinical assessment.
This depends on the treatment intensity and area treated. Your clinician will explain the expected healing period before treatment.
