There are many reasons why clients come to us seeking tattoo removal, from designs gone wrong to unwanted memories and reminders, or simply a desire to rediscover the skin that lies beneath the ink.
Whether you want to refresh the canvas of your skin, ready for new ink or embrace a more natural look without tattoos, laser tattoo removal is one of the most effective and efficient ways to restore the clear skin you left behind. But how does it work, and is it the right solution for you?
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.
What Does Our Tattoo Removal Service Involve?
At Faces By Bae, our London team use FDA-approved laser technology that is effective and safe for all skin types, breaking down the ink particles which make up a design, with the body then naturally flushing and disposing of those particles. This is achieved by directing the laser beam straight onto the tattoo, with different colours requiring different durations of time to maximise results.
For this reason, sessions can last anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes, depending on both the colour and the size of the tattoo. We tend to find that most tattoos can be removed within anywhere between 3 and 15 sessions, though our team will advise on the projected treatment time for your tattoo at an initial consultation.
Who is Tattoo Laser Removal For?
Laser tattoo removal combines leading technology with refined training and expertise, arming our team with the best equipment to break down even the most stubborn tattoos and allow the body to flush away the unwanted colour particles.
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; however, there may be some damage left behind by the application of the tattoo itself.
Furthermore, aftercare plays a crucial role in the effectiveness of results and the long-term health of skin after a tattoo has been removed. Clients need to commit to keeping the treatment area clean and dry and avoiding direct sun exposure if they want to maximise the chance of their unwanted tattoo disappearing completely. Our team will provide you with a tailored aftercare plan, based on the frequency and number of laser removal sessions required, and the size of your tattoo.
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.

Before/After
Frequently Asked Questions
There are a number of factors at play when it comes to tattoo laser removal in London and beyond. These include the quality of the equipment used, the precision and skill of the clinician, and the size and colour density of the tattoo itself. At Faces By Bae, we use the best equipment and undergo rigorous training to maximise the effectiveness of treatment, though it is important to note that some colours are more stubborn and harder to remove than others.
It is rare for laser tattoo removal to cause scarring. However, you must consider that getting the tattoo itself is causing damage to your skin. If your tattoo has any elements of texture, this has caused a scar already, which will be visible once the ink is lifted.
In addition to removing the tattoo ink, the laser may also help improve the appearance of scars associated with the tattoo by promoting collagen production in the skin.
Yes, you can combine laser tattoo removal with other skin treatments. We recommend scheduling other treatments either two weeks before or after your laser session to allow your skin to heal properly.
