Iatrogenic tattoos after acupuncture: successful outcome after treatment with QS Ruby Laser: A case report and review of literature.
Conclusion: In synopsis with the anamnesis, the clinical aspect and the therapeutic course, we interpreted the hyperpigmentary spots as a combination of iatrogenic tattooing with nickel and deposition of hemosiderin as well as melanin due to repeated mechanical manipulation and UV exposure of the skin. Furthermore, we hereby show the validity of the quality-switched ruby laser in the removal of accidental hyperpigmentation in skin phototype II.
