Topical perfluorodecalin resolves immediate whitening reactions and allows rapid effective multiple pass treatment of tattoos

Laser tattoo removal using multiple passes per session, with each pass delivered after spontaneous resolution of whitening, improves tattoo fading in a 60‐minute treatment time. Our objective was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of topical perfluorodecalin (PFD) in facilitating rapid effective multiple‐pass tattoo removal.
