Use of Lasers for Iron-Induced Accidental Tattoos
摘要： BACKGROUND Awareness of accidental tattoos after iron injections with paravenous leakage is low. No larger patient cohorts have been analyzed. The lesions are a burden to the patients. The only known treatment is laser therapy. OBJECTIVE To characterize the clinical appearance and development of iron-induced tattoos and to demonstrate safe and efficient removal with quality-switched (QS) and picosecond lasers. MATERIALS AND METHODS The authors conducted a retrospective systematic analysis on patients who presented at the Dermatology Department of the University Hospital of Zurich between Year 2008 and 2017 with accidental hyperpigmentations after iron injections. From 29 collected patients, 13 received laser treatment and were analyzed with reference to the lasers used, including wavelength, fluence, spot size, intervals, number of sessions, and overall success. The authors defined the latter as a complete removal or as patients’ satisfaction. RESULTS The authors treated 13 patients and completed the treatment in 8 patients, with an average of 5.6 sessions. No complications occurred. CONCLUSION Spontaneous regression of iron-induced tattoos is possible within 1 to 2 years, but not guaranteed. Removal with QS ruby, Nd:YAG, and picosecond lasers can be achieved within a mean number of 5.6 sessions. Assuring a valid indication before intravenous iron administration is important.

[IEEE 2019 Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics Europe & European Quantum Electronics Conference (CLEO/Europe-EQEC) - Munich, Germany (2019.6.23-2019.6.27)] 2019 Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics Europe & European Quantum Electronics Conference (CLEO/Europe-EQEC) - Towards a kW-Class Picosecond Laser at 1 kHz
摘要： Secondary sources development such as X-rays for medical applications demand diode-pumped high-energy, high-power and high repetition rate picosecond lasers leading to a race to the kW milestone. Year after year, the pulse energy increased to few hundreds of millijoules at 1 kHz [1], but all the kW systems are based on the Yb:YAG thin disk technology which until now, to the best of our knowledge, has come short to deliver the full kilowatt level at 1 kHz. On the other side, cryogenically cooled bulk Yb:YAG amplifiers has shown its capabilities to reach 1 J at 500 Hz with 3.8 ps pulses [2]. Since two years, CELIA has launched new technology developments for a new system (HORIZON) aiming to reach 1 J, 1 kHz, 1 ps. We selected Yb:YAG crystal as laser gain medium since its thermal properties and its low quantum defect are suitable for high power laser generation. However, its narrow spectral bandwidth and its high saturation fluence impose large constraints on both the amplifier and compressor architectures. Cutting-edge technologies such as hypercompressor [3], divided pulse amplification [4], thin-disk and liquid-cooled disks are explored to address these limitations.

An insight into laser tattoo removal: reasoning, methods and limitations
摘要： This article aims to review the possible reasons a patient may wish to remove their tattoo using lasers, as well as providing an overview of the tattooing process within the skin, where the tattoo ink particles lay within the skin’s structures and how lasers specifically target unwanted ink particles within the skin. An exploration into various tattoo removal methods, with a more in-depth focus on laser tattoo removal with its associated risks and limitations will also be addressed.
