Dr. Messina a laser medicine expert, a preceptorship trained physician for laser skin surgery  and laser tattoo removal . A Fellow of the American Society for Laser Medicine & Surgery. Delivering quality medical care since 1986  and is a pioneer in laser tattoo removal.

Dr. Messina was first medical practice on Long Island to establish a laser tattoo removal service and the only medical  laser practice completely physician performed. 

Early into the field Dr. Messina noted shortcomings in the laser tattoo removal of several ink colors specifically blue and red. Thus, Dr. Messina developed several laser settings for red and blue inks that are widely used today and adapted into the user guide book of a major laser company. Dr. Messina has been interviewed by multiple media outlets such as the New York Times regarding laser tattoo removal.

 Aside from teaching laser principles to other physicians he has lectured at University Hospital regarding laser usage and safety and of course Laser  Tattoo Removal . Unlike many practices where "certified laser technicians" are performing the procedure and in many states illegally, Dr. Messina delivers all of the laser services personally.

This is a very important factor in determining where you have your laser tattoo removal procedures because your ultimate outcome depends on continuity. The common practice is for an esthetician to perform your  laser tattoo removal procedure, very often you never see the same person twice. This is a break in continuity of care because there is no real time recollection of how you responded to the laser, thus treatments can be less effective or worse cause a complication such as a blister or burn should an incorrect laser setting is utilized .

Since Dr. Messina personally performs every laser session the continuity of your care is unparalleled.

Where as the majority of laser tattoo removals are uneventful there is always the risk of developing complications such as a herpes outbreak, an allergic reaction, urticaria ( severe itching) , blister formation and infection. 

Dr. Messina is available to his patients and capable of treating any sudden complications accurately and expediently.
