Tätowierungen und andere Dyschromien

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Lasertherapie der Haut

Zusammenfassung

Die Tätowierungsentfernung mittels gütegeschalteter Laser ist in der Regel eine sichere und effektive Methode. Für Profitätowierungen sind häufig 20–25 Behandlungssitzungen im Abstand von 4 bis 6 Wochen notwendig. Laien- und Schmutztätowierungen sind meist einfacher zu behandeln (5–10 Sitzungen). Medikamenteninduzierte Dyschromien sprechen gut auf eine Lasertherapie an. Eine Ausnahme ist die Chrysiasis, hier kann es zu einer paradoxen Reaktion kommen. Häufige Nebenwirkungen sind Hypo- und Hyperpigmentierungen, (transiente) Farbumschläge und Texturveränderungen. Narben sind möglich, bei korrekter Anwendung jedoch selten. Insbesondere bei mehrfarbigen Tätowierungen können Farbreste verbleiben.
