Laser tattoo removal in London is priced by tattoo size and session count. At Dental & Wellness London tattoo removal starts from £750 per course of up to 10 appointments, with your total quoted in writing after assessment, and most tattoos clearing across six to eight sessions. The patch test is free, and 0% APR finance over 12 months via Tabeo is available, subject to status.
The "from £X" problem with tattoo pricing
Almost every tattoo removal advert leads with a single low number, and almost none tells you the thing that decides what you actually pay: a tattoo is removed over a course, not in one visit. Budget for a course, not a session, and ask any clinic for the total in writing before you commit. Our laser tattoo removal treatment page explains how the process works.
How we price — by size, colour and course
Tattoo removal starts from £750 per course of up to 10 appointments. Size is the biggest single factor: small wrist, ankle or finger tattoos sit at the lower end; forearm names, chest, upper-arm and back pieces need more.
Large statement pieces, sleeves and full backs are quoted individually, in writing, after assessment. Brow and lip pigment is covered on our eyebrow and cosmetic tattoo removal page.
Why the total depends on the course, not the session
The laser breaks pigment into fragments your body clears over following weeks, taking several rounds to clear a tattoo fully. Our comparison of Q-switch vs picosecond laser explains how the two technologies differ. Most tattoos clear across six to eight sessions, spaced six to eight weeks apart. Courses start from £750, and your total is quoted in writing after assessment; colourful pieces often need more sessions, as our page on coloured tattoo removal explains.
Colour — black and dark blue clear most predictably; greens and light blues can need extra sessions. Age and depth — older, faded, or amateur tattoos often clear faster. Your own healing — general health, not smoking, and staying out of the sun all help.
What a full sleeve costs
A full sleeve typically needs twelve to twenty sessions and is quoted individually, in writing, after assessment. 0% APR finance over 12 months via Tabeo is available, subject to status.
The patch test — included, and not optional
Before any full course, a small area is patch tested — a short, essential safety step included with your first consultation, not charged as an add-on.
Finance, honestly explained
0% APR finance over 12 months via Tabeo, subject to status, lets you spread the cost of a course.
