Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of laser tattoo removal with picosecond pulse durations as compared to treatment with nanosecond pulse durations using a single novel Q-Switched (QS) Nd:YAG laser.

Detailed description

This is a randomized, split-tattoo, open-label, single-center study of up to 25 subjects with tattoos containing black or dark blue ink, alone or in combination with other colors. It will compare the safety and efficacy of nanosecond and picosecond pulse durations with the Cutera Picosecond Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser for tattoo removal.
