TLDR The laser-based microjet injector delivers tattoo pigment accurately with less tissue damage.
The study explored the use of a laser-based microjet injector for delivering tattoo pigment. The researchers, William R. Rassman, Jae P. Pak, Wonwoo Shon, Injae Lee, and Jino Kim, aimed to assess the efficacy and precision of this novel method. The results indicated that the laser-based microjet injector could deliver tattoo pigment with high accuracy and minimal tissue damage compared to traditional methods. This technology showed potential for applications in medical tattooing and other dermatological procedures.
