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?

R20 Tattoo Removal technique

There are lots of kinds of tattoo removal and there are equally as many horror stories to accompany them; with older methods of tattoo removal, such as skin grafts, bleach, skin peels, etc, the concept of removing a tattoo has become something to fear and avoid. However, in recent years, tattoo removal has become something that should be something that we can trust as effective and not as much drama.

The R20 tattoo removal is a technique used in laser tattoo removal and it is regarded as one of the safest and the best. You may be asking yourself, "Why is it named 'R20'?" Well, it's simple, really. The "R" in R20 stands for "repeating" as in the fact that the laser repeats impulses on the ink in the tattoo; the 20 part of the name stands for 20 minutes. After each time the laser hits a spot on the skin, it produces a small nitrogen bubble on the skin layer, the nitrogen bubble looks like frost, and it takes 20 minutes for the laser to be able to punch through this frost, hence, 20 minutes.

The main benefit of this tattoo removal method is that it is a lot faster than current laser tattoo removal methods because it is more concentrated; with this method, a black tattoo can be reduced by at least 50 percent in fewer sessions than other laser methods. This is a big plus when you need to get a tattoo removed because you are looking for a new job, a new relationship, or you just regret getting a tattoo back in the day and want it gone ASAP. Other laser methods can take at least six months to remove a tattoo; a quarter-sized black tattoo often takes five sessions and requires six to eight weeks for recovery in-between sessions, and the five sessions is minimum, it could take more with previous methods.

With R20, you will still need about six weeks of recovery in between sessions but the amount of required sessions is drastically reduced, so instead of taking at least six months or even a year, you may only need a few months. The price of R20 procedure is a bit more per session than other methods, around $300 more but as stated earlier, your required sessions is drastically reduced. Your overall price comes to be about the same.

How To Get A Great Tattoo And Never Regret It

As a Chicago tattoo removal studio, we too often see individuals come in wanting to remove a tattoo that was poorly done, they are embarrassed by, or ashamed of, or maybe a new job does not approve.  While we know that many tattoos can be amazing, creative and beautiful, we also know that they can just as easily be hideous and make people regretful.  With that said, we would like to provide you with some tips to consider to make sure when you get a tattoo, it is a great one that you won’t regret and will not be in need of our services at our Oak Brook tattoo removal studio.

How Much Do You Want To Spend?

We all know that money is typically what everything revolves around.  So chances are, if you want an entire sleeve, and you only spent $100 on it, it probably will not end up being quality work.  But just because you may spend thousands of dollars on a sleeve does not guarantee that it will be a tattoo well done.  Also, as a tip from our tattoo removal studio, plan or make a budget for the money you want to spend and put into the tattoo because if you don’t, we may be scheduling a tattoo removal session.

Where Do You Want It?

Our suggestion for a tattoo, assuming it is your first one, is that you get a tattoo that is easily coverable for working environments.  We highly do not recommend that your first tattoo ends up being below the wrist or above the neck.  You should not only consider tattoo placement for jobs, but for the sake of being taken seriously by legal professionals whether it be a judge, lawyer or cop.  We have several clients that love their tattoos but end up needing to get them removed just because of the placement and they pay our laser tattoo removal studio in Chicagoland a visit.

What Are You Going To Get?

If you are not sure you know exactly what you wont, DO NOT GET IT.  If you have an idea for a tattoo we recommend you have a tattoo artist draw it out.  After they do so, post the image somewhere you will look at on a daily basis.  This will help test whether it is something you will get bored or sick of.  You want to get a tattoo you will love forever considering the fact that tattoos are ultimately made to be permanent and not to end up needing tattoo removal.  If after a few weeks or months you see that you are still obsessed with the design, then go find the best tattoo artists and get the tattoo done!

How Do I Find A Good Tattoo Artist?

This is a very subjective question only because many tattoo artists have their areas of expertise.  Not only that, but there are good tattoo artists all over the world, in some instances you have to be willing to pay a pretty penny to have the most seasoned artist tattoo you.  Take a look at Bmezine and search for artists in your area.  We also recommend you look at tattoo blogs or tattoo removal blogs to find any information about a positive or negative experience at a studio.

As experts in laser tattoo removal, we take pride in what we do and we can only hope that other professionals take pride in their work as well, especially when it comes to tattoos.  However, we understand that the world is not a perfect place and that is why we provide tattoo removal options for individuals.
