Abstract:
The removal of disfiguring tattooed eyebrows of 21 patients by means of dermatography is discussed. The color pigments were removed using penta-monogalloyl-glucose, a tannic acid. No side effects were found. Local anesthesia was not necessary. Biopsies of five patients with inflammatory reactions to the tattooed pigments were taken before treatment. A 5-year follow-up showed that the results were lasting and cosmetically satisfactory.
