Tattoo Removal
Duration
20 min
Tattoo removal at UnionDerm uses the PicoWay picosecond laser as the primary platform, with Fraxel as a secondary option for specific ink types.

Multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart are required for complete removal. Performed by board-certified dermatologists at 19 Union Square West, Manhattan.
