BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
Nanosecond Q-switched lasers have been used for the removal of traditional and cosmetic tattoos. Picosecond lasers utilize pulse durations of 10-12 and provide more efficient clearance of tattoos. Safe and effective removal of tattoos is especially important in cosmetically sensitive areas such as the face. We report four patients with skin types (III-IV) who have had successful removal of eyebrow tattoos with the picosecond (1,064-, 532-nm) laser using a perfluorodecalin-infused patch (PFD).STUDY DESIGN/MATERIALS AND METHODS
Patients with eyebrow tattoos underwent treatment with dual-wavelength picosecond Nd:YAG laser at 1,064-nm with a 3 mm spot size and fluence of 4-4.6 J/cm2 . The 532-nm wavelength was also used during treatment #1 (patient 2 only) with a 4 mm spot size and fluence of 0.5 J/cm2 . Patient 1 had a total of three treatments (6-8 weeks apart). The remaining patients, each had only one treatment. Patients were photographed prior to treatment and subsequently at each follow-up.
