C19 Picosecond Laser System | Lefis

The C19 combines an electro-optical QS Nd:YAG engine with ultra-short (2–6 ns) pulse duration and a PTP photoacoustic surge. These short pulses create strong photo-mechanical effects that shatter ink particles into smaller particles for faster clearance while limiting heat to surrounding tissue. Compared with older laser devices, this can mean fewer sessions for laser tattoo removal and minimal risk of skin irritation when parameters are selected correctly.

The platform runs 1064 nm (up to 1000 mJ) for dark inks (black, dark blue/green) and 532 nm (up to 500 mJ) for reds/oranges and skin discoloration near the skin’s surface. The 2–10 mm spot sizes let you match tattoo size and depth. These wavelengths penetrate deep enough to target dense ink pigment while protecting normal tissue.

Yes. The C19 has adaptive intelligence that helps tailor laser treatment parameters to skin tone (Fitzpatrick I–VI). 1064 nm is typically preferred for darker skin and sensitive skin because it reduces melanin interaction, lowering the chance of skin damage, scars, or post-inflammatory changes. Proper treatment plan, conservative settings, and sun exposure control further protect tattooed skin.

Yes. While the headline use is tattoo removal, the picosecond laser energy and precise spot sizes support skin rejuvenation protocols targeting acne scars, mild sun damage, and fine textural irregularities. These are distinct from ablative laser skin resurfacing; parameters aim to stimulate new skin cells and improve tone with controlled laser therapy and limited downtime.

Outcomes depend on tattoo types, tattoo size, location, age, ink colors, density, and your body’s immune system response. Many cases still require multiple sessions spaced weeks apart for optimal results. The C19’s high peak power, PTP mode, and HyperMode (4500 mJ burst) help effectively break stubborn pigment clusters, but clinicians should set realistic expectations—especially for multicolored or layered body art.

The C19 combines dual-channel cooling (liquid + forced air) with fast 10 Hz firing and an omnidirectional laser arm for stable delivery. Together with precise pulse duration and spot sizes, this supports safe tattoo removal by limiting photothermal effects on surrounding tissue. Clinics may use a local anesthetic for comfort on larger areas or dense pigment.

Not necessarily. Laser treatment can be a primary treatment option for tattoos and some skin conditions, while chemical peels, topical treatments, or OTC products may complement maintenance or address superficial concerns. A board-certified professional should tailor combinations based on skin issues, layers of skin affected, and downtime goals.

The 360° rotating head and impact-resistant design keep energy delivery consistent—helping maintain fluence across curves and hard-to-reach zones. Consistency supports uniform fading and may reduce retreatment on missed spots. Combined with cooling and parameter control, many patients experience manageable recovery time with standard aftercare for the treated area.

It’s engineered for fewer sessions versus some legacy q-switched setups because of its short pulses, PTP surge, and high peak power that efficiently disrupt ink particles. Still, total visits vary—multicolored pieces or green pigments can be demanding. Outcomes hinge on device settings, laser technology, patient adherence, and proper spacing between visits.

Regulatory needs differ by market. Clinics should verify applicable approvals and follow local rules on laser therapy and procedure protocols. Screening for contraindications, documenting a personalized treatment plan, and guiding sun exposure/aftercare are key safeguards. When handled by trained professionals, the C19 supports effective laser tattoo removal and adjunct skin resurfacing/skin rejuvenation workflows.
