Frequently Asked Questions
Session requirements vary based on your tattoo's dimensions, ink colours, design complexity, and your individual skin type. Encouragingly, our PicoWay® laser system typically achieves complete removal in up to 50% fewer appointments compared to traditional laser technology. For a precise assessment tailored to your specific tattoo, call 020 3983 8397 to arrange your free estimate.
When using the PicoWay® laser, we recommend waiting 8 weeks or longer between sessions. This timeframe allows adequate healing for your skin and enables your body's natural ink elimination process to work effectively. Several factors influence the optimal waiting period, including your individual immune response, the tattoo's size and colour composition, and your skin's healing characteristics. It's essential to ensure the treated area has completely healed before scheduling your next session.
At Cloak & Dagger, we deliver London's most comfortable and effective removal services using PicoWay® lasers. This advanced technology operates differently from traditional methods employing photo-thermal action, which can cause significant discomfort, skin damage, and potentially scarring. PicoWay® lasers instead utilize powerful yet gentle photoacoustic shockwaves to fragment ink particles without harming surrounding tissue. We additionally employ the Zimmer Cryo cool air machine, which helps minimize any discomfort throughout treatment.
Absolutely—partial fading for cover-up purposes represents a popular service we regularly provide. Many clients visit us specifically to lighten existing tattoos before commissioning new artwork. Pre-fading prevents old designs from showing through or affecting fresh ink, whilst granting your tattoo artist greater control over colour saturation and design execution. We successfully lighten challenging elements including dense line work and difficult colours like green and blue ink. Consulting both a professional tattoo artist and our laser removal specialists helps determine the appropriate fading level for your specific cover-up design. Following your fading sessions, we recommend waiting approximately three months before having new tattoo work applied, ensuring complete healing.
