Abstract:
We treated tattoos with a new method in which the epidermis of the tattooed skin was replaced after removing the dermis, which contained tattoo pigments. The separation of the epidermis from the dermis was performed enzymatically with the use of dispase. The time required for healing of the wound was markedly shortened.
