FIELD: medicine.SUBSTANCE: bioptic skin tissue with particles of implanted tattoo pigment is sampled. The samples are used to determine the tattoo pigment depth. The most effective laser wavelength is determined by exposing the tissue samples to laser light at various wave lengths. The samples are coloured, and those suffered the most severe damage of the tattoo pigment are detected. If the measured tattoo pigment depth is no more than 0.7 mm, the laser removal of the tattoo pigment is initiated. If the measured tattoo pigment depth falls within the range of 0.7 mm to 2.0 mm, the superficial destruction is expected to be followed by the laser removal of the tattoo pigment. The most effective laser wavelength determined by the bioptic tissue sampled is specified for performing the removal procedure.EFFECT: method enables providing more effective tattoo removal by eliminating the necessity of the excessive thermal exposure of the patient's skin, reduces a probability of the involvement of the adjoining biological tissues, and eliminates the colour inversion.3 ex |
