Comments

This 28-year-old man with a multicolored tribal tattoo (blue, black, red, yellow) for 8 years was treated once with the Q-switched Nd:YAG laser with a 6 mm spot size at 3.2 J/cm2 and 5 HZ for a total of 1,702 pulses over 25 minutes. The images which follow show the progression of the healing and reduction in pigment. Additional laser treatments were planned.
