The history of the development of laser tattoo removal ?

The word "laser" is the abbreviation of the English "Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation", which means "light amplified through stimulated emission". The first attempts to apply the laser beam to remove tattoos was in the 60-ies of the last century by the American physicist Theodore Maiman. He used the ruby laser, which then drove tattoo till 1965.

It was followed by other developments in 1961, was applied to the neodymium laser based on yttrium-aluminum garnet), then in 1962 – argon, and, in 1964, was first used laser carbon dioxide (CO2). A common drawback of all these methods was the fact that there was a high risk of scarring in the spot of tattoo removal. Later the technique was improved and find their application in modern practice.
In 1983 he published the concept of the so-called selective photothermolysis (SFT), which has acted as breakthroughs in laser dermatology. This concept greatly helped scientists to understand the processes of laser interaction with the skin, as well as to create a laser system for use in medicine.
