High‐frequency (20 MHz) high‐intensity focused ultrasound: New ablative method for color‐independent tattoo removal in 1‐3 sessions. An open‐label exploratory study

High‐intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) operating at 20 MHz is new and potentially applicable to ablative tattoo removal. The method was documented safe and rational in preclinical testing.
