Traumatic tattoos can be very difficult to remove.
Excision is often not possible because of the extent of the tattoo,
and dermabrasion may not be able to reach the area of pigment
without significant scarring. Six patients with traumatic (n =
5) or medical (n = 11) tattoos were treated with the Q-switched
ruby laser with complete or nearly complete resolution after one
to six treatments without cutaneous scarring or permanent pigmentary
alteration.
