Big news! L’AVENUE Derm is making waves in the Village Voice, spotlighting its revolutionary approach to healing for survivors of trauma. This isn’t just aesthetics – it’s a movement to reclaim bodies, dignity, and selfhood.
Through its groundbreaking Unmarking the Past program, L’AVENUE Derm offers free tattoo removal for survivors of trafficking, domestic violence, and gang-related abuse. These aren’t cosmetic procedures – they are acts of liberation, helping people erase the marks that tell stories no one should have to live. Serving just 12 survivors a year, the clinic provides deeply personal, confidential care, proving that true transformation is about identity, agency, and hope.
The excitement doesn’t stop there. L’AVENUE Derm’s Gift of Expertise program extends healing to mothers and trauma survivors alike, offering pro bono scar treatment and facial rejuvenation. Every treatment is a celebration of strength, resilience, and self-reclamation – helping survivors say, “I am not defined by what happened to me.”
Featured in the Village Voice, L’AVENUE Derm is redefining what aesthetic care can be: not vanity, not luxury, but true empowerment. If you’ve ever dreamed of a fresh start, of reclaiming your body and your story, this is the place where transformation begins.
Your story. Your body. Your power. L’AVENUE Derm is here to help you take it back.
