Supportive, accessible care.
At Clarity Tattoo Removal, we are committed to supporting individuals throughout every step of their gender-affirming journey. For clients preparing for radial forearm flap (RFF) phalloplasty, tattoo removal on the forearm can be a necessary part of surgical preparation.
We believe everyone deserves access to safe, ethical, supportive tattoo removal, especially when it is part of a life-changing medical procedure. We create a professional, judgment-free environment where clients can feel respected, supported, informed, safe, and cared for.
Our goal is to take one worry off your plate during a time that already involves complex planning and emotions.
Why removal matters for RFF.
The radial forearm flap technique uses a portion of forearm skin as part of gender-affirming surgery. Surgeons commonly request that tattoos on the harvest area be removed or significantly faded to support:
- A cleaner, more uniform tissue appearance
- Better aesthetic outcomes after surgery
- Reduced pigment visibility in grafted skin
- Surgical planning around the donor site
Your surgeon’s instructions come first. We plan treatment around your surgical timeline and keep you informed at every step.
Treatment planned around you.
We use the Candela PicoWay, a picosecond laser, with settings chosen for your tattoo, skin type, and surgical timeline.
Picosecond pulses
Ultra-short pulses break pigment into smaller particles for your body to clear over time.
Black and colored inks
PicoWay can treat black ink and many colored inks.
Settings for your skin
Wavelength and energy are selected based on the pigment and your skin type.
Your surgical timeline
Sessions are paced around your consultation and surgery dates.
A permanent 50% discount.
To help make this step more accessible, we offer a permanent 50% discount on tattoo removal for tattoos located on the skin used for RFF phalloplasty. This program is available year-round and is separate from seasonal promotions.
Where it applies
Tattoos on the inner or outer forearm, or tattoos that overlap with the surgical harvest site.
