R-Zero Pico-Frectat Tattoo Removal
Yonsei Star's R-Zero/Pico-Frectat Tattoo Removal is a premium procedure that uses a picosecond laser to selectively destroy tattoo particles while minimizing damage to the surrounding skin. Its faster and more powerful energy effectively removes both black-and-white and color tattoos, significantly reducing the risk of scarring post-treatment. It offers customized treatment for everything from cosmetic tattoos like semi-permanent eyebrows to body tattoos of various sizes. We provide rational pricing with detailed options based on the treatment area and size, including 500-won coin size, lettering (1x5cm, 1x10cm), half business card, business card, and A4 paper sizes.

FAQ
Common questions patients ask about this treatment.
We can't quantify it as exactly four times the effect. However, it is true that by performing multiple laser passes in one session to break down the ink more finely, we achieve the maximum possible effect compared to a single-pass session. The final result can vary as the broken-down pigment is cleared by each individual's immune cells.
Skin irritation is more related to the laser's intensity than the number of passes. We perform the procedure at an intensity level proven to be safe through numerous clinical experiences, so you don't need to be overly concerned about irritation. We prioritize safety by adjusting the number of laser passes based on the patient's skin condition and response.
The R-Zero technique maximizes the effect of a single session, but tattoo removal itself is a procedure that requires multiple repeated treatments. Generally, a minimum of 5, and typically 10 or more sessions are needed. A higher effect in one session does not necessarily mean a proportional decrease in the total number of sessions required.
The number of sessions varies with the type of tattoo, the depth and amount of ink, and your skin condition, so exact prediction is difficult. Generally, black tattoos may need 5 to 10+ sessions, dense lettering 10+ sessions, and color tattoos 10 to 20+ sessions.
