TATTOO REMOVAL
Tattoo Removal for Survivors
Unbranded is a non-profit organization that exists to raise awareness and to empower human trafficking SURVIVORS. By breaking the psychological chains of enslavement through beautifying, removing or covering their physical scars, markings and brandings, we remove the constant reminders of a violent past.
Unbranded has partnered with medical professionals and experts to provide complimentary services to survivors of human trafficking and sexual exploitation to have their branding tattoos removed.
Why This Matters... by the numbers
Of the number of persons reported as trafficking victims, 712 (94%) were sexual trafficking victims; 7 (<1%)
were labor trafficking victims; 9 (1%) were victims of both sexual and labor trafficking; there were 31 additional
trafficking victims for whom the type of trafficking was not reported.
Of all reported victims, 530 (70%) were identified as juveniles. The age range of Sexual Trafficking victims was from 2 years old to 59. There were 93 sexual and/or labor trafficking victims age 12 and under.

The Process... our specialization
Laser tattoo removal has been described as feeling similar to the actual tattooing process. Our special PICOSURE relies on pressure changes instead of just heat to break apart ink particles. Our treatment providers are often able to provide aids to make the experience as comfortable as possible for survivors.
The number of treatments needed is dependent on variables such as ink characteristics, size of tattoo, location on body, and lifestyle habits.
Treatments typically occur every 6-8 weeks and our experts will develop a treatment plan to meet each individual's needs. Patients and treatment providers have reported better clearance (disappearance) of tattoos with improved recovery time. Survivors can expect excellent results with PICOSURE.
