Abstract

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.
