R-Zero is a method that can reduce the number of tattoo removal sessions. This article summarizes its principles and procedure.
What was blocking the irradiation?
With conventional methods, time was needed after each irradiation due to the white bubbles that formed on the skin surface. These bubbles interfere with the penetration of laser light.
R-Zero is a method designed to eliminate this phenomenon and enable repeated irradiation. It allows up to 4 irradiations in a short amount of time.
A special medication is used to quickly remove the white bubbles, preventing interference with subsequent irradiations.
Sequence of events in one spot
| Sequence | Procedure |
|---|---|
| 1단계 | 1st laser irradiation to destroy tattoo pigment |
| 2단계 | White bubbles form on the skin |
| 3단계 | Apply special medication to remove bubbles |
| 4단계 | Proceed immediately with 2nd and 3rd irradiations |
Advantages of this method
- It may reduce the number of sessions. Significant removal may be possible with fewer sessions than conventional methods, which could shorten the treatment period.
- Up to 4 irradiations can be performed in a single session, which may reduce the amount of remaining pigment.
- Skin damage may be less than with conventional methods.
The equipment configuration and procedure are summarized in R-Zero Pico-Frectat Tattoo Removal.
