Longer Intervals Between Sessions With Q-Switched and Picosecond Lasers Result in Enhanced Tattoo Ink Clearance: Case Study Series of 12 Patients
Journal Title: Journal of Dermatology Research - Year 2024, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Twelve case studies are presented showing results following laser tattoo removal with Nd:YAG, ruby and alexandrite lasers utilising both nanosecond and picosecond pulsewidth modes in a range of applied radiant exposures (fluences). The lockdowns around the world during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021 resulted in a situation where many laser treatments stopped – sometimes for many months. On returning to treatment, many anecdotal reports began to circulate pointing out ‘exceptional’ ink clearance since the previous laser treatments. The data and photographs presented here were compiled from nine centres in the UK, USA and Canada.
