The article "Comparing Tattoo Removal Responses in Vegan and Omnivore Patients" by Fusano et al. investigates the clinical outcomes of Q-switched laser tattoo removal in vegans and omnivores. The study reveals that vegans required more laser sessions, exhibited poorer clinical responses, and experienced extended healing periods compared to omnivores. When well-planned vegetarian diets offer numerous health benefits. Unfortunately, the study does not assess the diets of the groups, nor does it address factors like hydration levels and prior skincare regimens, limiting the interpretation of results.
