Zapatat’s Proprietary ART Laser treatments Removes most tattoos in just 2-5 sessions.

World’s Fastest Laser Tattoo Removal

I’m Chris Slavin, a Harvard MBA with experience in transforming medical (provider centric) services into consumer-focused offerings. In 2001, I began investigating body modification, tattooing and laser tattoo removal.  I met with the top researchers and read many science papers. I also met with people in the Tattoo and tattoo removal business. It took a nano second to see that laser tattoo removal rhad fizeally needed to change.  Prices were very high, quality was low and there was a lot of disrespect and judgment : “Mistake”, “Regret” and “Shame” were mainstays in promoting removal services. You don’t need an MBA to know that it’s probably not a good strategy to shame clients into buying a service. But that’s what they were all doing.

I think tattoos are cosmetic decisions and so is removing them. Both are a bit painful but can and should be positive experiences. Zapatat removes unwanted Ink faster than anyone, but what we really love is serving customers and making sure they feel cared for and respected. Clients often complement our customer service. One client left a 5-star review that said “For a painful treatment, it was a great experience.”.  Well, that sums it up!

Zapatat was an overnight success. People who didn’t want to pay $500 for a laser treatment liked our $75 price. We soon were doing a thousand treatments per year. But as good as we were, tattoos removal was slow, taking many and years to complete. Finding faster removal became an obsession. We began testing different lasers including “pico” lasers , but we didn’t see much improvement. If technology wasn’t the answer, it had to be something else.

We solved the problem by working with the world’s leading researcher and pioneer in laser dermatology, Dr Rox Anerson. It took a year of testing to perfect the 4-pass technique we call the Accelerated Removal Technique (ART). One ART) typically removes 50-70% of the ink density in 3 months. Extending the time between any laser sessions always gets better results but its even more so with ART because it breaks so many ink particles that the body’s immune response keeps removing the ink. ART has removed tattoos in 1 session but the typical is 2-5 ART sessions are needed. We have lots of military and far-away clients who return after a long period.
