Objectives
Tattoo removal is in high demand, and many types of lasers can be used for tattoo removal. Macrophages play an important role in the persistence of tattoos. However, comparative studies of the efficacy of tattoo removal with different lasers versus the relationship between the destruction of pigment particles or recruitment of macrophages after laser treatment are lacking.

Background and Objective
Precise control of the thermal damage is critical during thermal therapy with the assistance of gold nanoparticles, which depends on the laser parameters and characteristics of gold nanoparticles. However, the current understanding of the relationship between the gold nanoparticles/incident laser light and the efficiency of photothermal therapy is limited, which should be...
