PAWAR, Manoj; SATVALDINOVA, Assel y MEHAK SINGH, and. Picosecond Nd:YAG laser for the removal of cosmetic tattoos of the eyebrow: a single-center retrospective review. Port J Dermatol Venereol. [online]. 2024, vol.82, n.1, pp.33-37. Epub 06-Mar-2024. ISSN 2795-501X. https://doi.org/10.24875/pjdv.23000101.
Objective:
To review the efficacy and safety of PS neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser for the removal of cosmetic tattoos of the eyebrows.
Method:
This was a retrospective review from January 2022 to August 2023 of patients who underwent cosmetic tattoo removal of the eyebrows with PS Nd:YAG laser.
Results:
A total of 24 patients were included in the review. 70% of patients were rated as “very much improved” (75-100% of the tattoo removed) and 30% of patients were rated “much improved” (50-75% of the tattoo removed). 1064-nm was the 1st wavelength used in all the cases. The average number of sessions required to obtain satisfactory results was 3. Four patients experienced unexpected change in their primary color of the eyebrow tattoos after the 1st treatment, which was successfully treated with 532-nm wavelength. None of the patients experienced dyspigmentation, scarring, or damage/bleaching of hairs of the eyebrows.
Conclusion:
PS Nd:YAG garnet laser is an effective and safe treatment for the removal of cosmetic tattoos of the eyebrows.
