System and method for tattoo removal

摘要

A combination device for applying a treatment of light and ultrasound on a tattooed area of a patient desiring tattoo removal. The device includes an ultrasound and a LED light source. The ultrasound source produces high-frequency ultrasound waves. These waves are applied directly to the tattooed area for a first specified period of time resulting in release of tattoo ink from tattooed cells. The LED source produces a continuous high-intensity light that is applied directly over the entire tattooed area for a second specified period of time resulting in degradation of the tattoo ink.
