In Vivo Analysis of Tattoo Particles After Picosecond Laser Compared to Nanosecond Laser


Sponsor

Universitätsklinikum Hamburg-Eppendorf

Enrollment

20 participants

Start Date

Feb 1, 2024

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

\- For treating unwanted tattoos, the gold standard treatment is a nanosecond or picosecond laser. However, comparative microscopic analysis is limited. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to analysis morphological changes of tattoo particles and surrounding tissue in human skin.
