Tattoo Removal in New York City

Laser tattoo removal using picosecond and Q-switched laser technology to fragment tattoo ink particles for clearance by the immune system. Picosecond pulses shatter ink into smaller fragments than nanosecond Q-switched systems, potentially reducing the number of sessions required for complete clearance. The DESCRIBE PFD Patch ($95 add-on) allows same-session multi-pass treatment. Available at StudioMD's SoHo and Midtown Manhattan locations.

Multi-laser tattoo removal using Q-switched Nd-YAG, PicoSure picosecond, Pico Plus, Fraxel, and Ruby laser platforms to clear tattoos of all colours on all skin types. Different lasers target different ink pigment wavelengths, enabling effective removal of dark, coloured, and difficult multi-colour tattoos. Three to twelve sessions required depending on ink density, depth, and colours. Zimmer Chiller minimises discomfort. Sessions run five to thirty minutes.

PicoSure Pro picosecond laser tattoo removal targeting multiple ink colours at 532 nm, 755 nm, and 1064 nm wavelengths. Ultra-short picosecond pulses generate photoacoustic pressure waves that shatter ink particles more effectively than nanosecond Q-switch lasers, with fewer sessions and less thermal collateral damage. Three to six sessions are typically required, spaced six to eight weeks apart. Available at Dr. Michele Green's Manhattan cosmetic dermatology clinic.
