Tattoo treatment with Q-switched ruby laser pulses (694 nm, 40 to 80 nanoseconds) was studied by clinical assessment and light and electron microscopy. Fifty-seven blue-black tattoos or portions thereof (35 amateur and 22 professional) were irradiated with 1.5 to 8.0 J/cm2 at a mean interval of 3 weeks. Substantial lightening or total clearing occurred in 18 (78%) of 23 amateur tattoos and 3 (23%) of 13 professional tattoos in which the protocol was completed. Response was related to exposure dose. Scarring occurred in one case, and persistent confettilike hypopigmentation was frequent. Optimal fluence was 4 to 8 J/cm2. Clinicohistologic correlation was poor. Q-switched ruby laser pulses can provide an effective treatment for tattoos.
采用调Q红宝石激光脉冲（694纳米，40至80纳秒）进行纹身治疗，并通过临床评估以及光学和电子显微镜检查进行研究。对57个蓝黑色纹身或其部分（35个业余纹身和22个专业纹身）以1.5至8.0焦耳/平方厘米的能量进行照射，平均间隔为3周。在完成该方案的23个业余纹身中有18个（78%）出现明显变淡或完全清除，13个专业纹身中有3个（23%）出现这种情况。反应与照射剂量有关。有1例出现瘢痕形成，持续性纸屑样色素减退很常见。最佳能量密度为4至8焦耳/平方厘米。临床组织学相关性较差。调Q红宝石激光脉冲可为纹身提供有效的治疗。
