[QUOTE="madman, post: 270638, member: 13851"] [B]CLINICAL CARE POINTS [I]*Laser tattoo removal requires matching an unwanted tattoo ink color to its complementary laser wavelength. *Picosecond lasers are an improvement that has led to faster and better clearing of tattoos but most tattoos still fall short of complete clearance. *Be cautious when treating a multicolored tattoo in the skin of a color patient as melaninis are targeted by many of the laser wavelengths used and can result in significant depigmentation and hypopigmentation. *Newer, professional, and single-ink color tattoos (ideally black) are easier to fade with laser treatments. *The use of fractional ablative, repeat treatments, PFD patches, and rapid acoustic pulses may enhance and speed up laser tattoo removal.[/I][/B] [I][B]*Never use a long pulse laser or an intense pulsed light (IPL) for tattoo removal, even if the device has the right wavelength for the color of the tattoo.[/B][/I] [B]Fig. 5.
