Abstract

Abstract Introduction Tattooing has a rich historical presence in various human civilizations, with the earliest physical evidence dating back to around 3258 BC. While acceptance of tattoos is increasing in the Western world, negative associations remain. Short-pulsed lasers, such as Q-Switched (QS) or picosecond lasers, are the gold standard for tattoo removal. Case Presentation This case report discusses the successful removal of 17 amateur tattoos, which were self-administered by a 19-year-old female patient using black eyeliner ink and sewing needles. The tattoos, distributed across her body, including the face and hands, were partially or completely removed over 10 sessions using the QS Neodymium-doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet 1,064-nm laser. Conclusion The factors that influence the efficacy of tattoo removal are highlighted, including tattoo type, location, and coexisting fibrosis. The psychological and social importance of effective tattoo removal is emphasized, particularly for young people seeking to disassociate from past experiences or affiliations.
使用质量开关掺钕钇铝石榴石 1,064 nm 激光成功去除 17 个使用黑色眼线墨水自制的纹身:病例报告
摘要 导言 纹身在各种人类文明中都有着丰富的历史,最早的实物证据可追溯到公元前 3258 年左右。虽然西方世界对纹身的接受度越来越高,但负面的联想依然存在。短脉冲激光,如 Q-Switched (QS) 或皮秒激光,是去除纹身的黄金标准。病例介绍 本病例报告讨论了一名 19 岁女性患者使用黑色眼线墨水和缝衣针成功去除 17 个业余纹身的案例。这些纹身分布在她的全身,包括脸部和手部,使用 QS 掺钕钇铝石榴石 1,064 纳米激光,经过 10 次治疗,部分或全部去除。结论 强调了影响纹身去除效果的因素,包括纹身类型、位置和并存的纤维化。强调了有效去除纹身在心理和社会方面的重要性,尤其是对于那些希望与过去的经历或隶属关系脱离关系的年轻人。
