Frequently Asked Questions
The procedure uses a high-speed laser beam that passes through your skin's outer layer to target the tattoo ink beneath. This laser energy fragments the pigment into microscopic particles, which your body's immune system then naturally processes and eliminates over subsequent weeks. We proudly introduced PicoWay® laser technology to London's tattoo studio community. Unlike conventional lasers generating heat, PicoWay® employs photoacoustic waves—delivering accelerated outcomes, fewer appointments, reduced discomfort, and more thorough breakdown of even challenging ink colours.
Thanks to PicoWay®'s advanced technology, scarring occurs extremely rarely as a side effect of laser tattoo removal. We give meticulous attention to proper laser protocols, employ extensively trained technicians, and provide comprehensive aftercare guidance—all of which further minimize any scarring risk. The photoacoustic waves used by PicoWay® avoid the thermal damage associated with heat-based laser systems, protecting surrounding tissue whilst effectively fragmenting ink particles.
Black is the most straightforward tattoo colour to remove because it absorbs all laser wavelengths, making it highly responsive to treatment. The 1064nm wavelength proves particularly effective at targeting dense black ink during the initial stages of removal. Generally, darker colours respond more readily to laser treatment than lighter or more vibrant shades.
Yes, you'll begin noticing fading within the first two to three weeks following each treatment. However, the fading rate varies depending on multiple factors including your immune system strength, the tattoo's age and ink depth, plus the colours and size of your design. Your body continues eliminating fragmented ink particles for several weeks and potentially months after each session. Remember that everyone's removal process is unique—the treatment duration and number of sessions required depend on your specific circumstances. It's important not to compare your progress with others, as immune systems function differently from person to person.
