Article Synopsis
- Q-switched Nd:YAG lasers are commonly used for tattoo removal due to their ability to target ink particles accurately, but multiple sessions are often needed based on factors like tattoo size and pigment depth.
- While higher energy settings can reduce the number of sessions, they may cause complications like problematic wound healing.
- A case report illustrates how using potent topical steroids in a controlled manner can improve wound healing after high-energy laser treatments, enabling successful tattoo removal while ensuring patient satisfaction.
