New paper – my musings on back-scattered laser light from tattoo treatments

New Paper – click here

I just had a new paper published in the journal ‘Lasers in Medical Science’. It discusses the amount of back-scatter light emanating from the skin during laser treatments. It is much higher than we had previously thought.

This comes from new Monte Carlo modeling which found that back-scattering is much greater at certain visible wavelengths in the skin.

Hope you enjoy it.
