摘要: Q-switched 1064 nm neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet (Qs Nd: YAG) laser plays an important role in the treatment of pigmentary skin disorders, including tattoos. Although it has high efficacy and safety, adverse effect like hypopigmentation may occur causing anxiety to patients. We present a case report Qs YAG induced which was successfully treated with ultraviolet B targeted phototherapy, rapid satisfactory re-pigmentation.
