What Does Laser Tattoo Removal Involve?
Laser tattoo removal is designed to break down the ink particles which make up a design, with the body then naturally flushing and disposing of those particles. Using sophisticated technology, a high-intensity laser beam is directed onto the tattoo – removing the tattoo effectively without causing harm to the surrounding skin.
One of the biggest questions that new clients have is whether they will be left with any scarring. Laser removal alone very rarely causes scarring; in fact, much of its popularity lies in the blank canvas of skin it leaves behind. However, there may be some damage left behind by the application of the tattoo itself.
On the whole, laser tattoo removal is a safe procedure when performed by our qualified professionals at Faces By Bae. We use FDA-approved laser technology that is effective and safe for all skin types.
Laser Tattoo Removal: London Details and Logistics
With that said, let’s look at the specifics, logistics, and the details that tattoo removal clients in London need to know.
How much does Laser Tattoo Removal cost?
The cost of laser tattoo removal depends on the size of the tattoo as well as the number of sessions required. Prices start from £45 per session, with Faces By Bae offering packages based on the number of sessions recommended.
Session Duration and Frequency
The sessions themselves can last anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes, again depending on the size of the tattoo. Some colours are harder to remove than others, which is why the duration and number of sessions can vary so vastly – however, most tattoos can be removed within anywhere between 3 and 15 sessions.
Downtime and Aftercare
Of course, much of the effectiveness and long term health of skin post-tattoo removal relies on proper aftercare and downtime. Clients undergoing Laser Tattoo Removal at Faces By Bae can expect a gradual fading of their tattoos after each session, with results recognised as a progressive lightening of the tattoo.
By keeping the treatment area clean and dry, and avoiding direct sun exposure, clients can maximise the chance of their unwanted tattoo disappearing completely. However, it is important to note that certain ink colours may change or become more resistant to further treatments. Our specialists at Faces By Bae will talk you through this process at your consultation.
Projected Results vs. Limitations
Combining sufficient laser removal sessions with the right level of aftercare, and a healthy dose of patience, means that there is a high chance of your tattoo being effectively removed; restoring your skin to a blank canvas.
However, clients need to recognise that different ink colours can take longer to break down and may even be resistant to laser technology – which can make tattoo removal longer and more challenging.
What Aftercare is Required for Laser Tattoo Removal?
Keeping the treated area clean and dry.
Avoiding sun exposure to prevent changes in skin pigmentation and scarring.
