Tattoo removal of the eyelid is absolutely safe so long as corneal shields are in place. The laser of choice for this procedure based on laser physics would be a laser that has minimal heat generation. The laser on that market that provides this is the picosecond laser class. There are two that I am knowledgeable of and can attest that the PicoWay has the lowest heat generation as compared to others on the market. The less heat, the less side effects to the eyelid skin, specifically scarring. Certainly ghosting, a light discoloration left where the tattoo was, can result with any tattoo removal laser. This is minimized as well with the picosecond laser as this phenomenon has been correlated to the amount of heat generation during removal. Thank you for the opportunity and don't hesitate to contact my office with further questions.
