Laser and plasma skin resurfacing at Xanadu Med Spa is a highly effective choice for rejuvenating and resurfacing the skin. With most laser resurfacing treatments, we remove the damaged, dry, and sometimes discolored outer layer of skin.
Laser skin resurfacing in Fort Collins triggers your body’s natural collagen production and encourages your skin to replenish itself from the inside out, revealing a smooth and blemish-free appearance. With a wide array of lasers and devices available, laser skin resurfacing can be completely customized for every patient’s skin.

Pixel Perfect™ Fractional CO2 Laser is a revolutionary skin resurfacing treatment from Alma Lasers that offers an advanced, non-invasive way to achieve smoother, healthier, and younger-looking skin.
Our state-of-the-art Clarity II laser platform delivers dual-wavelength laser energy to resurface skin, address uneven skin tone, and even remove unwanted hair. Built-in skin cooling technology ensures comfort.
The highly customizable LaseMD Ultra resurfacing laser delivers non-ablative, fractionated energy to provide mild to aggressive treatment for your unique concerns. It rebuilds glowing, healthy skin with virtually no downtime.
Opus Plasma Skin Resurfacing treatments promote a youthful appearance with long-lasting effects. This innovative procedure smooths and firms skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, stretch marks, uneven skin tone, and more.
Laser skin resurfacing peels away the top layers of dry, dead skin, exposing new, healthier skin beneath. This process causes your body to produce more collagen—a building block of healthy skin.
Most of our laser skin resurfacing treatments require no downtime! Your skin may be slightly sensitive post-treatment, and you can expect to experience redness and swelling of the skin for up to 2 days.
The unique abilities of our different laser treatments allow you to fully address the signs of aging. From age spots and varicose veins to lines and wrinkles, laser skin resurfacing in Fort Collins turns back the hands of time.
Laser and plasma skin resurfacing devices release short, concentrated pulses of light energy at your target skin issues. This destroys old, dead skin, revealing the new, healthy skin underneath. As the epidermis is removed, the energy also heats the underlying layer (called the dermis). This triggers your body to begin producing collagen in the treated skin.
It does take a few days for the old, tired skin to peel away, so expect a few days of skin redness, swelling, and peeling. Soon, you’ll enjoy glowing skin with fewer imperfections and more of the youthful look you’ll love.

There is plenty of science behind the success of laser or plasma resurfacing treatments. In the simplest terms, they remove scars, wrinkles, and other imperfections by addressing damaged skin layers.
Laser skin resurfacing in Fort Collins is completely noninvasive, causing little to no discomfort and requiring no downtime. Your provider will ensure you have all the information necessary to best prepare for your treatment.
Avoid Aspirin
Blood-thinning medications such as Aspirin slow your recovery process by preventing your blood from clotting. Some herbal medications also thin blood, so be sure to talk to your provider about anything you’re taking.
Use Sun Protection
If your skin is exposed to too much sun in the months leading up to your laser skin resurfacing treatment, you may experience permanent irregular skin pigmentation in the treated areas.
Stop Smoking
Smoking can delay your healing because it constricts blood vessels and inhibits blood flow. Not only is smoking hazardous to your overall health, but it also contributes to wrinkle formation.
After your laser skin resurfacing in Fort Collins, Xanadu offers these recommendations to support your positive results. Your provider will ensure you have all the information necessary to make the most of your treatment.
Hydrate Yourself
Drink plenty of water, and stay hydrated! Your body will produce new collagen after treatment, a protein that is excellent at retaining water. This helps firm your skin, erase lines and wrinkles, and give your skin improved elasticity.
Use Approved Products
Your home skincare routine should include Xanadu-recommended medical-grade skincare products. These FDA-regulated, extremely pure products support your results better for improved healing and fewer issues.
Avoid Excessive Heat
Stay out of saunas and jacuzzis, and avoid hot baths and direct sunlight. Showers are recommended at moderate temperatures. You should also avoid intense exercise routines for a few days.

Always make certain that you select a reputable and experienced provider team when it comes to all your skincare treatments. The team at Xanadu Med Spa has received extensive training and shares best practices amongst themselves.
After your treatment, you may experience some minor redness (much like a sunburn) and swelling for a few days. However, this shouldn’t prohibit you from returning to your normal routine.
Within a few days you will notice dry and flaky skin in the treatment area(s), similar to what you might experience after having one our our chemical peels. This can generally be controlled with regular application of a good moisturizer. We will provide you with a post care kit and discuss what products to either use or avoid.
Note: Sunscreen will be incredibly important for weeks following the procedure as you will be highly susceptible to sun burn.
The term “ablative” may not be familiar jargon for you, so knowing the difference between ablative and non-ablative will help you make better choices for your aesthetic journey.
Ablative lasers disrupt the cells in targeted layers of your skin and eliminate these cells. This process encourages your body to replace the cells with new and fresh, healthier cells and a rejuvenated, “glowing” look.
When the laser treatment does not break down the surface layer of the skin, this is what we call non-ablative laser treatments. These use a series of wavelengths and energy to stimulate the production of collagen, which improves your skin’s elasticity and firmness.
Both treatments are non-invasive, and require no downtime after receiving them. If you have more questions about these two types of lasers, or any of our devices for laser skin resurfacing in Fort Collins, contact us today.
We use the Opus Plasma device, the CO2 laser, LaseMD Ultra Glow, Laser Genesis, and nano skin resurfacing to improve many skin issues. We gladly offer many treatments to customize treatment toy our needs.
