Three Key Benefits for Your Practice

Stop losing patients to slow results and a painful process. With the DESCRIBE Patch, you can potentially prevent your patients from giving up on the tattoo removal process before it’s complete. Given the high dropout rate, fewer overall treatment sessions can encourage patients to continue treatment until full tattoo clearance is achieved.2,5

The DESCRIBE Patch advantage:

  • Up to 4X as many passes per treatment session compared to conventional treatment without the Patch5,6
  • Less epidermal injury, which may mean less time between office visits6,7
  • In clinical studies, 100% of patients who tried the DESCRIBE Patch chose to us it for the rest of their treatments5,6

More than two-thirds of people with tattoos have more than one.1 And studies have shown that patients who are satisfied with laser therapy results are likely to return to treat another area.8

Because the DESCRIBE Patch offers patients a better tattoo removal experience, patients who previously started, but never completed, their tattoo removal may be motivated to complete the process in your office.5,6†

One satisfied patient could mean so many more.

  • Studies show that satisfied patients may be more likely to tell other potential patients about their experiences.9
  • Encourage your patients to refer other patients to your practice online by having them post reviews/feedback about their positive experiences with the Patch through RealSelf, their social channels and other online review pages.
  • In addition to helping your patients refer others to your practice, we can help you become your own referral advocate by providing marketing materials that make it easier for patients seeking practices that offer the DESCRIBE Patch to find you.
