Abstract

This report updates our most recent series of 60 tattoos treated in 1980 and followed for at least 12 months. An initial rate of hypertrophic scarring of 35% at 3 months eventuated in 23% after 1 year. Factors such as sex, complexion, and body location were correlated to scars and hypopigmentation. Over 50% excellent to good results were achieved overall in this series.

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

## Abstract ## Background and Objectives Multiple treatments of resistant tattoos often result in fibrosis and visible textural changes that lessen response to subsequent treatments. The aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of beam profile and spot size on clearance rates and side effect

It is well known that the eigenvalues of finite element models are influenced considerably by mesh refinement. Eigenvalue errors, due to shape function discretisation, persist in the frequency range of interest until the model is fully converged, and generally have a serious affect upon updated para
