| pubmed-article:2257415 | pubmed:abstractText | Nine years of clinical experience of the application of the Q-switched ruby laser to the removal of tattoos is presented. This laser achieves optimal removal of blue/black amateur tattoos by its selective interaction with the dermal suspensions of pigment which constitute the tattoos. The scar free cosmesis thus achieved is a considerable improvement on non-specific laser techniques whereby the laser is absorbed to a comparable degree in both pigmented and non-pigmented tissue. Long-term results are analysed and it is noted that a variety of professional tattoos may also respond to treatment. The mechanisms and appearance are discussed and correlated with short-term healing processes. It is found that power densities in the range 1200-2800 GW/m2 are most suitable. Appropriate dosimetry can be witnessed by the appearance of opaque intradermal vacuoles corresponding to the vaporization of the tissue water surrounding the pigment suspensions. Treatment by Q-switched ruby laser offers a viable scar-free option for a wide range of dark tattoos, leading to a more acceptable clinical outcome in most cases than other current therapies. | lld:pubmed |
