Neodymium‐doped yttrium aluminium garnet (Nd: <scp>YAG</scp> ) 1064‐nm picosecond laser vs. Nd: <scp>YAG</scp> 1064‐nm nanosecond laser in tattoo removal: a randomized controlled single‐blind clinical trial

Abstract

After two treatments of black tattoos with a neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet laser (1064 nm), the use of picosecond pulses does not provide better clearance than nanosecond pulses. However, pain is less severe when using a PSL.
