✦ Synopsis
A technique embodying the use of chemical agents and the argon laser was developed in the 1981-1982 that provides for a more complete removal of tattoo dye with one treatment. The number of visits for the laser treatment to the patient is reduced to two or three treatment sessions, compared to five to eight visits previously required. The area of "chemo-laser" approximated the normal skin without hypertrophic scar tissue more than the areas of multiple or heavy laser treatment.
