Vancouver Cosmetic Physician helps Ex-Gang Members remove tattoos, erasing their past to start a new life.

Vancouver, BC (PRWEB) May 29, 2013

For ex-gang members who have turned their lives around, their tattoos are a constant reminder of a wrong choice, one that is visible every time they look in the mirror; affecting job opportunities, relationships and impeding their ability to move forward. Tattoos are used by gang members to signify affiliations and may appear on the hands, neck, or face. When the affiliation is gone...the tattoo remains.

Dr. Shah of Beautiful Canadian Laser Skincare Clinic works with community programs to help ex-gang members clear their tattoos. Regretting a butterfly tattoo is one thing, but having a gang symbol emblazoned on your skin is a far more traumatic reminder of a bad decision. Dr. Shah is happy to help, particularly when he sees firsthand the positive direction these young men and women are taking.

Tattoos can be handmade and rudimentary, or professionally administered using quality inks that require technology that is up to the task. At his laser clinic, Dr. Shah uses a Q-switched laser in conjunction with the R20 method, a protocol based on the findings of a team of doctors in Greeceso effective, it requires less sessions, yet boasts impressive outcomes. With the R20 method, many tattoos can be removed in a single treatment, and a recent study showed it to be 50-80% more effective than traditional methods.

Tattoos don't let you forget. And when the connotations are negative, it has a serious impact. Beautiful Canadian Laser and Skincare Clinic removes tattoos for anyone suffering from tattoo regret. Whether it was the name of an ex, a word spelled incorrectly (yes, it happens), or simply a change of tasteour physician directed protocols can give anyone a clean slate.
