How Bay Area, CA patients can remove tattoos
When men and women have tattoos done, they often believe they’ll love
them forever. In reality, many tattoos carry memories that, down the
road, some patients want to forget. In cases such as this, patients
consider options to remove tattoos in the Bay Area.
Dr. Christine Lee in CA is a board certified dermatologist
in Walnut Creek who provides laser tattoo removal at The Skin and Laser
Treatment Institute. Her practice focuses on providing the most advanced
technologies to improve the skin and body, and laser therapy for tattoo
removal is one of many services offered.
Laser tattoo removal is a safe and effective technique to
break down the ink in the tattoos to the point where the body is able to
naturally flush the inks out of the skin and cause the tattoo to be
removed entirely. It is important for patients to know that laser tattoo
removal does not occur in just one visit, several sessions are often
necessary for optimum results. Some colors may be more difficult for the
laser to break down than others, so for full results, three or more
treatments may be needed. This is why patients are encouraged to speak
to Dr. Christine Lee during an initial consultation appointment to learn
about the advantages and disadvantages of laser tattoo removal, and
fully understand what the lasers are capable of doing. The procedure is
rather comfortable and patients can request topical anesthetics for the
skin before treatment begins. The time necessary for an appointment will
vary greatly depending on the size of the tattoo and on how it responds
to treatment.
Dr. Christine Lee is excited to offer this amazing
technology to remove tattoos that may be poorly placed, fading,
stretched, unsightly, or full of negative memories. Those who want to
take the time to speak to a professional about how laser tattoo removal
works are welcome to contact The Skin and Laser Treatment Institute to
speak with Dr. Christine Lee about the benefits of laser tattoo removal.
