Is tattoo removal free on the NHS?

APRIL, 11, 2023

Most NHS patients are not eligible for free tattoo removal.

This is because the health service does not usually provide cosmetic surgery. For example, in the event that you no longer like your tattoo because it doesn’t fit who you are today, you would be unlikely to qualify for free tattoo removal. That saves you sitting in the waiting room and wondering. For straightforward laser tattoo removal pricing, we've got you.

NAAMA IS THE ONLY PLACE YOU'LL FIND THE LIGHTSENSE™ LASER 

The LightSense™ laser 

Because the pulse width of the laser is 89 times shorter than the average Pico laser, the light touches the skin for a tiny amount of time, causing minimal pain and greatly reducing the chances of skin damage.

When tattoo removal is free on the NHS

There may be cases when a person’s health and well-being necessitate that they undergo some form of cosmetic surgery, though these are rare.

Think severe allergic reactions, and only then when all other options have been exhausted.

So the short answer is no, tattoo removal is not usually free on the NHS. And in the small number of cases when it is a yes, there will undoubtedly be many steps to take before you are able to get free-of-charge laser tattoo removal on the NHS.
