Benefits of Laser Tattoo Removal in NYC
- Effective ink removal: Laser tattoo removal breaks down tattoo pigment into tiny particles, allowing your body to naturally eliminate the ink over time for clearer skin.

- Versatile tattoo removal: Suitable for all tattoo sizes, ink colors, and body areas—including difficult shades like red and yellow.
Laser Tattoo Removal: What to Expect
Tattoo removal is a gradual process that typically requires multiple laser sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart to achieve optimal fading. After each treatment, your immune system helps eliminate the broken-down ink particles, gradually lightening the tattoo over time and improving overall skin clarity.
Laser Tattoo Removal Aftercare Tips
- Keep the treated skin clean and apply a recommended healing ointment to prevent scabbing and support recovery.
- Avoid sun exposure on the treated area, and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen containing zinc oxide or titanium dioxide to protect the skin.
- Follow all post-treatment care instructions carefully to ensure the best tattoo removal results and reduce the risk of side effects like scarring or irritation.
Is Laser Tattoo Removal Safe?
Laser tattoo removal is a safe and effective procedure when performed by experienced professionals. Most patients experience only temporary side effects such as mild redness, swelling, or discomfort—these typically resolve quickly with proper aftercare. At our NYC dermatology office, we follow strict laser safety protocols and customize each treatment based on your unique skin type and tattoo characteristics to ensure optimal results.

Avoid tanning, sun exposure, and using active skincare products on the area for at least 1 week before treatment. Stay well-hydrated.

Most tattoos need 6–10 sessions, depending on size, color, age, and skin type.
