Zapatat®️ has been removing tattoos for over 14 years. We continually seek faster removal. Lately, clients have been asking “What laser do we use?” The intense marketing by Removery has convinced people that “Pico” is the best way to remove your tattoo. But as with all past and present “pico” crazes, those lasers are not the answer to faster tattoo removal. Side-by-side testing on a variety of tattoos is the best way of comparing effectiveness. What we found may surprise you! After extensive testing, we concluded that so-called “Pico “ is still marketing buzz and they don’t move the needle on time to remove tattoos. Nothing comes close to our Accelerated Removal Technique ART®️.
Manufactures trumpet that Pico is a trillionth of a second! But there is no laser that actually delivers on that claim. These “so called” “pico” lasers are just barely sub-nano. Picoway is the fastest “pico” 450 ps (.45 Nano Seconds) and the slowest, Picosure 950ps.(.95 Nanoseconds). Other so-called Pico Lasers are about .5 nano seconds. Zapatat®️ continues to place our efforts into better techniques. That’s the philosophy that resulted in our Accelerated Removal Technique. We call it ART!
Why sub-nano isn’t not much faster that single-pass nano treatments? Sub-nano does not appear to dramatically reduce the number of sessions or the total time to remove tattoos. Number of sessions can always be reduced by increasing the time between treatments. But that also means increasing the total time to remove your tattoo. People are being conditioned by social media marketing to believe that it will take up to 3 years and 12-15 sessions to remove a tattoo. But ART®️ removes most tattoos in 2-4 sessions. Weeks not years!
So why aren’t sub-nano second lasers removing tattoos in many fewer sessions (passes) or in less time? Why is ART so much faster?
Picoway claims that shorter pulses create a mechanical rather than nano’s acoustic effect. It’s an accepted fact that nano pulses are more effective on large ink particles. It seems that mechanical effect will chip away at large particles while acoustic effect vibrates and shatters them That’s why nano works much better on early sessions. It also the reason that Sub Nano may have a slight edge in later treatments once there are no large particles left. Some lasers like Picoway offer dual Nano/pico capability to compensate for the shortcomings. But that just uses multiple short mechanical pulses to mimic a nano second. Unfortunately, that does not have the acoustic effect of a true nano pulse.
ART®️ employs repeated nano pulses to repeatedly shatter more particles and make then small enough for the body’s immune response to remove them. The typical result is over 50% of the ink removed in just 3 months. It took a lot of testing/research to develop the technique before we introduced it. To our knowledge, Zapatat®️ is the only one to have cracked to code and why we are the world’s fastest at removing tattoos.
People are being conditioned to believe that it will take up to 3 years and 15 sessions to remove a tattoo. But ART®️ removes most tattoos in 24-48 weeks in 2-4 sessions.
