Περίληψη – Summary
Tattoos have been chosen by people from all cultures and society for centuries. From the ancient Egyptian, Greek, and Roman cultures to the modern society, tattoo has been used to enhance beauty, demonstrate uniqueness, and signify belonging and sometimes to identify, shame, or punish. Techniques for tattoo removal have evolved significantly over the years. As more tattoos are being acquired, increasing numbers of people are also seeking their removal.(1) Techniques for tattoo have evolved significantly over the years and the most known are lasers Quality-switched (QS) ruby, alexandrite and Nd:YAG lasers. Newer strategies using combination laser treatments, multi – pass treatments and picosecond lasers offer promising results. (2) Some of the most important considerations when choosing the appropriate laser are tattoo color and skin type of the patient. There are standard protocols which can be developed the effective and safe treatment of tattoos.
