5. Update on lasers in dermatology.

A range of lasers with acceptably low rates of side effects is now available. Improved laser therapy has been made possible by combining wavelengths that are selectively absorbed by the target and pulses short enough to prevent heat transfer to surrounding tissue. Carbon dioxide (CO2) lasers are useful for treating disorders of skin surface texture and topography (wrinkles, scars, sun damage, benign skin appendages and rhinophyma). Vascular lasers, such as the flashlamp-pumped dye laser, are particularly effective for treating port-wine stains, haemangiomas, telangiectasia, rosacea and spider naevi. Q-switched lasers, which allow ultrashort high intensity pulses, are effective for treating most tattoos and some benign pigmented lesions.

Employer attitudes toward persons with visible tattoos.

A total of 242 employers were surveyed over the telephone to assess their attitudes toward prospective employees with visible tattooing. Employers were divided into eight categories according to type of industry. Responses to the survey were tabulated and confidence intervals produced. It would appear that significant bias exists against the employment of persons with visible tattoos in the hospitality, beauty, retail and office sectors where less than 30% of those surveyed would employ a person with a tattoo. All industries except building and the public service admitted that they would be influenced by a visible tattoo in over 40% of cases.
