Microinfusion of drugs into the skin with tattoo equipment

A tattoo results from the introduction of pigments into the skin or mucous membranes. Pigments are chemical substances that behave like optical markers. Their visibility (through epithelial transparency) is undeniable proof that cutaneous perfusion with micro-perforations is an effective procedure. This method was used to infuse Bleomycin sulfate in two patients bearing keloid lesions, employing the same equipment and components used by professional tattoo artists, with adaptations for dermatological use, and strictly observing aseptical and rational requirements.
