Brooklyn & New York City Dermatologic Surgery

Laser therapies have become well-known for their effectiveness, particularly in regards to unwanted hair removal and tattoo removal. Brooklyn's The Skin Institute of New York, a comprehensive general, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology practice, offers laser treatment for both purposes.

Under the supervision of Director Ronald R. Brancaccio, M.D., who is board certified by the American Board of Dermatology (ABD), our dermatologic professionals can address several maladies with safe, non-invasive laser treatments.

Whether you are seeking skin resurfacing to treat acne scars and sun damage, the efficient removal of an unwanted tattoo, or effective laser hair removal, New York City's Dr. Brancaccio and staff can plan a course of treatment that is likely to provide you with a desirable result.

For both hair and tattoo removal, our laser treatments work by penetrating concentrated light into the targeted pigment or hair, thereby converting it into heat and disabling it without damaging the surrounding tissues. For our patients in Manhattan and Brooklyn, laser hair removal, and perhaps tattoo removal, can be safely performed on areas such as the:

  • Upper lip/chin
  • Bikini/legs
  • Arms/underarms
  • Shoulder/back

If you have other skin care needs that you would like to treat at The Skin Institute of New York, we encourage you to let us know. In addition to general dermatology, Dr. Brancaccio is also a Brooklyn Mohs' surgery specialist, and has removed varying degrees of skin cancer for numerous patients.

You can learn more about these aspects of our practice by visiting our laser treatment page and our dermatologic surgery page.

In order to provide you with the most current, relevant information possible regarding these procedures, we invite you to attend an initial consultation at our facility. A friendly member of our staff can advise you on your options during this time.

If you choose to proceed as a patient of The Skin Institute of New York, the fee for this visit will be applied toward your treatment costs.
