Frequently Asked Questions
The treatment employs a high-speed laser beam that passes through your skin's outer layer to reach the tattoo pigment beneath. This laser energy fragments the ink into microscopic particles, which your body's immune system then naturally processes and removes over time. We proudly introduced PicoWay® laser technology to London's tattoo studio community. Unlike traditional lasers that generate heat, PicoWay® uses photoacoustic waves—delivering quicker outcomes, fewer appointments, reduced discomfort, and more complete breakdown of even challenging ink colours.
Session requirements depend on several factors including your tattoo's dimensions, ink colours, design complexity, and your individual skin characteristics. The encouraging news: our PicoWay® laser system typically achieves complete removal in up to 50% fewer sessions compared to conventional laser technology. For a precise assessment of how many sessions your specific tattoo will need, contact us on 020 3983 8397 to arrange your free estimate.
At Cloak & Dagger, we provide London's most comfortable and effective removal services using PicoWay® lasers. This sophisticated technology operates differently from traditional removal methods that employ photo-thermal action, which can cause significant discomfort, skin damage, and even scarring. PicoWay® lasers instead use powerful yet gentle photoacoustic shockwaves to fragment ink particles without harming surrounding tissue. We additionally employ the Zimmer Cryo cool air machine, which helps minimise any discomfort during treatment.
Yes, older tattoos generally prove easier to remove than newer ones. This occurs because older tattoos have typically experienced natural fading over time through factors like sun exposure and your body's continuous process of breaking down ink particles. Consequently, older tattoos often require fewer laser removal sessions compared to recently applied tattoos. However, removal ease also depends on additional factors including ink colour, ink depth and density, ink type, and your skin type.
