Abstract

We describe the use of a pinpoint bur to remove traumatic tattooing. The dermabrasion is concentrated on the affected tissues without damage to the surrounding normal skin. With this method, deeper areas of pigmentation are no more difficult to remove than superficial deposits. This technique is easily reproduced and highly effective.
