PicoSure® uses advanced picosecond laser technology to deliver ultra-short bursts of energy that shatter tattoo ink into microscopic particles. These particles are then naturally eliminated by your body’s lymphatic system. The laser’s precision targets ink without damaging surrounding skin, making it one of the safest and most effective tattoo removal options available.

Erase Unwanted Tattoos With Custom Tattoo Removal
Many of us got regrettable tattoos in our early years—the names of ex-lovers or maybe even something embarrassing. Others have tattoos that have lost their luster over time, faded in the sun, or are simply no longer in fashion.
Luckily, tattoo removal technology has made massive progress over the past decade. Now at Xanadu Med Spa, it is easier than ever to undo tattoos with tattoo removal in Fort Collins.

Benefits of Tattoo Removal
Effective
Our PicoSure technology works on all skin types and tones to remove both colored and black-and-white tattoos. We can completely erase your tattoos in as little as 4-8 sessions compared to previous technology which required 20+ sessions.
Accurate
PicoSure tattoo removal in Fort Collins has incredibly accurate lasers. So if you want to remove only a small part of your tattoo, remove the background, or leave a connected tattoo, we can target only what you want and leave the rest alone.
Minimal Pain
This system is minimally painful, and most clients agree that it is far less painful than the long process of receiving a new tattoo. With our PicoSure system, you also don’t have to come in as often or for as long. This means lower pain for less time.
How It Works
Throughout PicoSure treatment sessions, laser energy is directed at the unwanted tattoo, targeting the ink and breaking it down into smaller particles.
The tiny particles are then eliminated through the body’s natural processes, delivering results faster and with fewer sessions than traditional lasers.
We use PicoSure for tattoo removal in Fort Collins because it represents a huge leap in treatment technology. Previous methods, such as acid and surgical excision, were painful and could result in nasty side effects. Fortunately, the quality of tattoo removal has improved, and we use the safest methods to minimize any risk.
PicoSure Tattoo Removal: Advanced, Effective, and Safe for All Colors
PicoSure tattoo removal at Xanadu Med Spa in Fort Collins represents the most advanced laser technology available for removing unwanted tattoos — safely, effectively, and with fewer treatments than traditional lasers. Using ultra-short picosecond pulses of energy, PicoSure targets ink particles beneath the skin, shattering them into tiny fragments that your body naturally eliminates through its lymphatic system. Unlike older Q-switched lasers, PicoSure is highly effective on all ink colors, including stubborn blues, greens, and reds that were once difficult to treat. This breakthrough technology delivers impressive clearance with less discomfort, minimal risk of scarring, and faster recovery, helping you achieve clearer, smoother skin and a fresh start with confidence.
Let’s Get Real
Taking the Filter Off of Medical Aesthetics
Episode 1
In our first episode, we talk real results and real passion, covering chemical peels, personalized care, and why educating patients is at the heart of what we do. No filters, just honest conversations about what makes medical aesthetics so rewarding.
What to Expect
Your appointment will begin with one of our providers asking you to lie down on the treatment table. We’ll ask you to wear loose clothing that allows easy access to the treatment area.
We’ll hold the device over your skin, running it slowly over the tattoo. You may experience mild discomfort from the laser, but you shouldn’t experience any pain. Most clients compare the sensation to a rubber band being snapped against their skin.
Pre-Treatment Instructions
Follow these instructions to ensure you get the best results from your appointment.
No Tanning
Do not use tanning beds or tanning lotions 2 weeks before your appointment. We also suggest using SPF 30 (or higher) when you’re outside to protect your skin from direct sunlight.
Have Clean Skin
Arrive at your appointment with clean skin that is free of makeup, oils, lotions, or perfumes. These products could get in the way of the laser and reduce the efficacy of your treatment.
Let Us Know
Tell your provider during your consultation about any medical conditions you have—or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Post-Treatment Instructions
These instructions will not only help make recovery easier—they’ll also increase the efficacy of your tattoo removal in Fort Collins.
No Touching
Do not pick at or touch the scabs on your skin. This is part of your body’s natural healing process. Picking at the scabs could cause damage to your skin. Use the ointment we provide you as directed to speed up healing.
Avoid Hot Water
Avoid hot showers, hot tubs, saunas, and other hot water until the treatment area has fully healed. We also ask you to avoid swimming until your skin is healed. Wash your wound with cold or lukewarm water only.
Use Sun Protection
Continue using SPF 30 or higher to protect your skin from sun damage. Direct sunlight could damage the sensitive skin and prevent your skin from fully healing.

About Xanadu
Ever since Xanadu was purchased in 2015, our goal has been to help our clients feel beautiful inside and out. When we realized our day spa services and few med spa treatments weren’t helping our clients achieve all of their goals, we began offering more medical aesthetic treatments.
Now, we offer the largest selection of treatments in the North Denver area and continue our work improving the lives of our clients—one treatment at a time.
