Types of lasers
The QS ruby laser (694 nm) was the rst commercially
available QS laser for tattoo removal in 1983,[17] followed
by the QS Nd:YAG laser (532 nm, 1064 nm) and the QS
alexandrite laser (755 nm). These are all still used today in
dermatology practices. The tattoo color and patient skin
type should be taken into consideration when choosing
the appropriate laser for tattoo removal. A summary
of the different lasers used for treating different tattoo
colors are shown in Table 2.

paper and documented photos, after careful informing the patient of all possible outcomes. In earlier series and
literature, [2,[6][7] [8] immediate complications usually include pain, blisters formation, crusting, edema, erythema,
pinpoint hemorrhage, allergic reactions, and sometimes infections after laser tattoo removal. Delayed complications
include pigmentary changes, residual tattoos (ghost image), paradoxical darkening, scarring, and keloid formation. ...
... As for the risk of local infection, which usually associates with blisters formation and crusting of the treated area, we
recommend using topical antibiotics ointments or emollient ointments. Our recommendations are also in accordance
with the previous series, in the treatment of immediate complications [7, 8] . In this short article, we have reported 4
cases with dyspigmentation (hypopigmentation), scarring, disfiguration (residual tattoo), and keloid as delayed
permanent complications after the tattoo removal sessions. ...

... In this review, we evidentiate some of these factors; according to Vanarase et al. (2017), when the tattoo is amateur, it
is generally lighter and the pigments are deposited on the more superficial layer of the dermis, whereas in the
professional tattoo the pigment is in the deep dermis, inside the fibroblasts, macrophages or mastocytes, which is why
removing amateur tattoos requires fewer session and the results are more effective (14, 25) . ...
... According to the authors 12−18 this type of laser was one of the safest to be applied in higher phototypes because it
reached the target tissue without penetrating the epidermal melanin. Furthermore, using the longer wavelengths, such
as 1064 nm it could reduce the risks of post-inflammatory inflammation, hyperpigmentation, and hypopigmentation after
the tattoo was removed (25, 30). ...

... Modern Q-S laser resonators are therefore able to produce micro-concentrations of extremely high peak-power
energies confined within ultra-short amounts of time [7][8] [9] . Exposed tissues respond with a unique photo-acoustic
reaction associated with plasma formation when wavelengthspecific absorbing chromophores are targeted resulting is
their ultra-structural fragmentation and partial loss of their wave-specific light absorption properties. A typical immediate
