Laser Tattoo Removal: The 101 on R20 Procedure

Erase Tattoo Removal Studio



In the tattoo removal world, specifically in the laser tattoo removal sector of the tattoo removal world, there is a procedure called R20 Tattoo Removal, or R20 Procedure. This form of laser tattoo removal has reshaped the format of the laser tattoo removal industry because the format is so much different than what we had seen previously. Now, you’re probably asking, “What is it?” And we will get to that right now.


What is the R20 procedure of laser tattoo removal? R20 utilizes the ability to pass the laser four times in one treatment session. Traditional laser tattoo removal states that practitioners only do one pass of the laser per treatment session. So, as you can see, there is more done during just one treatment session with R20 than a traditional method of removal. This tattoo removal procedure expedites the tattoo removal process and thus gets people into their new stage of life quicker.

After the pass of the laser on the skin, tiny, white bubbles (their nitrogen bubbles) will appear on the skin; it looks like frost and the bubbles are so tiny, it is not like you will have a freak arm or anything. After these tiny, frost-like bubbles appear on the skin, the doctor has to wait twenty minutes to go over the skin again with the laser. So, four passes of the laser with a twenty-minute break in between each pass.

While R20 procedure is amazing for the amount of time it saves you for getting your tattoo removed, it does cost a bit more money than traditional laser tattoo removal. Traditional laser tattoo removal procedures cost between $300-$500 per visit, typically; for the R20, it can be between $600-$1200 per visit.  The reason for this increase is that the procedure is much faster and effective. Your chances of success are even higher with this, despite the already high success rate for traditional laser tattoo removal.

You may think that the price of the R20 does not justify the quickness of the procedure. Well, if this is the case, think about it this way: you need to get laser tattoo removal for the sake of finding a job or finding a better one. A lot of employers do not like the look of tattoos even in today’s day and age. Consequently, they will not hire a candidate for a position if they have visible tattoos, even when wearing work appropriate clothing. As far as finding a better job, many employers will not promote someone due to a visible tattoo; while they might hire someone with visible tattoos for a position that hides them from customers or clients, such as working on the loading docks, they probably will not promote them to a position where they will be in front of people.


Bottom line, there are a lot of benefits to the R20 procedure that justify the higher cost. The ultimate choice is yours: do you want quicker removal for higher cost or a long removal for cheaper?
