Seven patients with either homemade or professional decorative tattoos have been treated with both the argon and CO2 lasers and studied clinically as well as histologically. The argon laser is absorbed by dermal pigment and vaporizes this pigment out of the skin. The CO2 laser vaporized tissue layer by layer and must be accompanied by mechanical debridement. Results and complications of treatment with the two lasers were markedly similar, as were histological studies.
七名有自制或专业装饰性纹身的患者接受了氩激光和二氧化碳激光治疗，并进行了临床和组织学研究。氩激光被真皮色素吸收，将这种色素从皮肤中汽化出来。二氧化碳激光逐层汽化组织，且必须辅以机械清创。两种激光治疗的结果和并发症明显相似，组织学研究结果也是如此。
