Goodbye to regret, hello to clarity. The PicoWay laser breaks down ink faster and with less trauma to skin than older systems, for full removal, cover up fading, or PMU and eyebrow correction.
Ultra short pulses shatter ink into particles small enough for your body to clear naturally, with a lighter touch on the surrounding skin than older nanosecond lasers.
Every treatment plan starts with your goal, whether that is a clean slate, a lighter canvas for new work, or correcting cosmetic pigment.
Picosecond pulses fragment ink so your body clears it naturally over a series of visits. Works on black ink and most colors.

Learn about PMU correction →Also treating: scalp micropigmentation removal & fading and RFF phalloplasty tattoo removal support.
PicoWay delivers energy in trillionths of a second. That speed creates a photoacoustic effect, a pressure wave that shatters ink into particles instead of burning through heat, which means less collateral damage to surrounding skin. Read more about PicoWay technology on our main site.

Laser tattoo removal uses focused pulses of light to break tattoo ink into particles small enough for your body's own lymphatic system to clear away. At Clarity Tattoo Removal, we use the PicoWay picosecond laser, which delivers those pulses in trillionths of a second rather than the billionths used by older nanosecond lasers, resulting in faster ink breakdown with less heat transferred to surrounding skin.
Most clients see mild redness and swelling for a few days after a session. We send every client home with clear aftercare instructions covering cleaning, sun protection, and what to expect between visits, spaced roughly 6 to 8 weeks apart to give the body time to clear treated ink. Read more client stories and tips on the Clarity blog.
Look for a studio using an FDA cleared picosecond device, a technician who treats a range of skin tones and ink colors, and a location you can get to consistently since removal is a series, not a single visit. Clarity Tattoo Removal operates two Massachusetts studios, in Somerville and Framingham, specifically so clients across Greater Boston and MetroWest can stay on schedule.
