RESUMEN
Durante las últimas decadas se han desarrollado múltiples técnicas para el borrado de tatuajes. Los láseres Q-switched NdYAG han demostrado ser los más eficaces y con el menor riesgo de efectos adversos por su habilidad de fragmentar selectivamente el pigmento (fototermólisis selectiva).

Objetivo:

Evaluar la efectividad del tratamiento para el borrado de tatuajes amateur, profesionales, cosméticos y traumáticos con un equipo láser Q-switched NdYAG. Materiales y

métodos:

Se estudiaron cien pacientes con 140 tatuajes entre marzo de 2008 y enero del 2011. Los pacientes fueron tratados mediante un láser Q-switched (QS) NdYAG, capaz de producir múltiples longitudes de onda. Los resultados fueron comparados mediante la prueba no paramétrica de Mann Whitney (p <0,05).

Resultados:

Trece tatuajes (9,2 por ciento) obtuvieron una respuesta completa de aclaramiento y se consideró terminado su tratamiento. Veinticinco tatuajes (17,8 por ciento) lograron una excelente respuesta. Treinta y dos (23 por ciento) tatuajes lograron una respuesta buena. Treinta y dos (22,8 por ciento) tatuajes obtuvieron una respuesta razonable y 38 (27,1 por ciento) obtuvieron una respuesta pobre.

Conclusiones:

el grupo de pacientes que más se beneficia del tratamiento láser es el amateur negro-azul.
ABSTRACT
Several techniques for removing tattoos have been developed in recent decades. Q-switched lasers have demonstrated to be most effective with the least risk of adverse effects for its ability to selectively break tattoo pigments into smaller fragments (selective photothermolysis).

Objective:

Evaluate the effectiveness of treatment for erasing amateur, professional, cosmetic and traumatic tattoos using a Q-switched (QS) Nd YAG laser. Materials and

methods:

From March 2008 through January 2011 one hundred patients were studied, altogether they had one hundred and forty tattoos. The patients were treated with a Q-switched Nd YAG laser device capable of producing multiple wavelengths. The results were compared using the nonparametric Mann Whitney test (p <0.05).

Results:

13 tattoos (9.2 percent) had a complete clearance response and the patients were considered to have completed the treatment. Twenty five (17.8 percent) tattoos achieved ann excellent response. Thirty two (23 percent) were considered as good response. Thirty two (23 percent) tattoos accomplished a reasonable response and 38 (27 percent) were considered to achieve a poor response.

Conclusions:

The patients who benefitted the most from laser treatments are the amateur blue black group.
