Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Tattoo clearing
Tattoo clearing as rated by blinded reviewers at 8 weeks post-final treatment (Physician's Global Assessment of Improvement). Blinded reviewer will first be asked to determine the temporal order (before and after) of each photograph pair for each treatment side and then rate the degree of tattoo clearing observed in the after photograph (compared to before photograph) using the Physician's Global Assessment scale: 4 = Very Significant Clearing (\> 75%) 3 = Significant Clearing (51 - 75%) 2 = Moderate Clearing (26 - 50%) 1 = Mild Clearing (5 - 25%) 0 = No Change (\< 5%)
8 weeks post-final treatment (up to 6 month)
Secondary Outcomes (4)
Degree of tattoo clearing as assessed by PGA
8 weeks post-final treatment (up to 6 month)
Degree of tattoo clearing at 8 weeks post-final treatment as assessed by Subject
8 weeks post-final treatment (up to 6 month)
Subject discomfort (pain) during treatments
During the treatments period (up to 6 month)
Subject satisfaction Questionnaire (4-8 weeks post-final treatment)
4-8 weeks post-final treatment (up to 6 month)
Study Arms (1)
