Tattoos are more popular than ever, but many individuals experience tattoo regret as their preferences change over time. In fact, studies show that up to 75% of people regret at least one of their tattoos. Regret often stems from impulsive decisions, evolving personal tastes, or professional concerns, many employers in industries such as hospitality, banking, government, and academia remain cautious about hiring individuals with visible tattoos due to potential client perceptions.
If you have a tattoo you no longer want, you don’t have to live with it, laser tattoo removal offers a safe and effective solution.
At Xanadu Laser Therapies, we utilise two of the most advanced laser technologies for tattoo removal:
Tattoo removal lasers emit specific wavelengths of light that target tattoo pigment, breaking it down into microscopic particles. The body then naturally eliminates these particles through the lymphatic system. Each ink colour responds differently to various laser wavelengths, requiring precise adjustments for optimal removal.

Cost Considerations
Medlite C6
Nanosecond Laser
1064 nm (blacks/dark inks); 532 nm (reds/oranges)
Requires more sessions
Effective, but may require additional sessions
More suitable for darker skins tones
Lower per-sessions cost but may require more treatments
PicoSure Pro
Picosecond laser (100x faster pulse rate)
755 nm (blacks, blues, greens, purples); optional 532 nm (reds, yellows, oranges); 1064 nm (black inks on darker skin types)
1/3 to 1/4 of the sessions needed for the Medlite C6
Clears resistant ink faster
Effective but requires careful parameter adjustments
Higher per-session cost but fewer total sessions, leading to overall savings
PicoSure Pro
At Xanadu Laser Therapies, we are committed to delivering the most advanced and effective treatments for skin rejuvenation, tattoo removal, and pigmentation correction. That’s why we proudly offer the revolutionary PicoSure Pro, the latest and most powerful picosecond laser technology available.
The PicoSure Pro is an FDA-approved picosecond laser system that represents a breakthrough in aesthetic laser treatments. Unlike traditional lasers that rely on heat to target skin concerns, the PicoSure Pro uses ultra-short picosecond pulses (one trillionth of a second) to create a photoacoustic effect, shattering unwanted pigment and stimulating natural skin rejuvenation without excessive heat damage.
Traditional lasers break down pigment and stimulate collagen using thermal energy, which can result in heat-related damage and longer recovery times. The PicoSure Pro is different, it uses PressureWave™ Technology to deliver energy in trillionths of a second, targeting unwanted pigmentation and skin imperfections without overheating the surrounding tissue.
The PicoSure Pro is the most advanced picosecond laser available today, setting itself apart from traditional lasers in several key ways:
At Xanadu Laser Therapies, we invest in the latest technology to give our clients the most effective, safe, and comfortable treatments possible. If you’re looking for fast, superior results with minimal discomfort, the PicoSure Pro is the perfect choice.
Medlite C6
At Xanadu Laser Therapies, we offer a range of advanced laser treatments tailored to your skin and tattoo removal needs. The MedLite C6, a trusted Q-switched Nd:YAG laser, has been a gold standard in dermatology for years, providing effective treatments for tattoo removal, pigmentation correction, and skin rejuvenation.
The MedLite C6 is a nanosecond laser system that delivers high-intensity light pulses to break down pigment and stimulate collagen production. Using Q-switched technology, it generates extremely short laser pulses to fragment tattoo ink, sunspots, and excess melanin, allowing the body to naturally clear them away.
This technology is ideal for:
The MedLite C6 uses Q-switched heat based laser pulses to shatter unwanted pigment and stimulate collagen while keeping the surrounding tissue intact. It operates at different wavelengths:
During treatment, the laser energy selectively targets ink particles or pigmented cells, breaking them down into smaller fragments that are naturally eliminated by the body’s immune system. This process allows for a gradual lightening of tattoos, pigmentation, and skin imperfections over multiple sessions.
While PicoSure Pro is the latest advancement in laser technology, the MedLite C6 remains a reliable and effective option for many clients. Here’s why:
While both lasers are highly effective, there are key differences:
