Ways for Walnut Creek area patients to remove tattoos
Over time, some men and women begin to regret certain tattoos. These
marks used to be images and words that would be on the body forever.
However, dermatological lasers have advanced to the point patients have
ways to remove tattoos. Laser therapies allow Walnut Creek area patients
to have tattoos removed from their skin at The Skin and Laser Treatment
Institute.
Dr. Christine Lee of Walnut Creek is a board certified
dermatologist who uses over 40 specialized lasers in her practice. She
has the experience to provide effective treatments necessary for health
as well as some that can improve aesthetics. Patients unhappy with past

removal.
The treatment is safe and effective and can remove any color
of tattoo ink. It works by administering laser light deep down into the
skin to the level of the ink. Pulses of light are used to break down
the ink into tiny particles, which will be naturally flushed from the
body. Some colors may require more treatments than others, but when done
correctly by an experienced provider, patients can enjoy amazing
results.
The procedure is relatively comfortable with the use of a
topical anesthetic if necessary. Some patients describe the treatment as
the snapping of a rubber band. It may be somewhat uncomfortable but
tolerable, and patients understand that it can provide freedom from
unwanted tattoos.
Dr. Christine Lee is a board certified dermatologist at The
