ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is investigating the effectiveness of two types of laser treatments—picosecond laser and nanosecond laser—for removing unwanted tattoos. The researchers want to understand how these lasers affect the tattoo ink particles and the surrounding skin tissue. By comparing the two methods, they hope to determine which one might be better for patients seeking tattoo removal.

To participate in this study, you need to be a healthy adult who is planning to remove an unwanted tattoo with laser treatment. Unfortunately, if you have previously treated your tattoo with a laser, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have an open wound in the area to be treated, you won't be able to join. If you do qualify, you can expect to receive one of the laser treatments and help the researchers learn more about how these procedures work. This study is currently recruiting participants, so it's a great opportunity to contribute to our understanding of tattoo removal methods.
