- 2 wavelengths: 532nm and 1064nm
- The fotona starwalker laser is a versatile, non-invasive device for treating pigmentation, scars, wrinkles, and tattoos.
- Utilizing multiple wavelengths and pulse modes to target various skin conditions with precision and minimal downtime, the system can be used for a wide variety of dermatological and aesthetic treatments.
- Laser pulse modes: MaQX (picosecond pulse, advanced fotona maqx technology; MaQX-1 and MaQX-2 are selectable softness levels for customizable treatment comfort), Q switch (nanosecond pulse, utilizing the advanced features of q switched technology), Frac 3 (sub-millisecond pulse), Versa 3 (long pulsed), FracTaT (fractional picosecond pulse)
The system features a q switched technology for delivering ultra-short, high-energy pulses. The Starwalker combines the high energy of nanosecond and picosecond technologies for enhanced treatment efficacy. After selecting from the available modes in a range of customizable parameters, the system delivers structured, high-energy laser pulses for precise skin therapy. The power of a high-performance laser system enables effective treatments, and the technology combines the benefits of multiple pulse duration modes and energy levels for optimal results. The system's ability to deliver a Q-switched pulse ensures effective pigment and tattoo treatments, highlighting the advanced capabilities of q switched technology and the high energy output of q switched systems.
Advanced Technology
The Fotona StarWalker MaQX treatment stands at the forefront of laser technology, offering one of the most advanced Q-switched laser systems available today. By combining the high energy capabilities of nanosecond lasers with the ultrashort pulse peak powers of traditional picosecond lasers, the Fotona StarWalker delivers ultra performance for a wide range of aesthetic applications. This advanced Q-switched laser technology is designed to provide superior results in tattoo removal, pigmented lesions, skin rejuvenation, acne treatment, and laser hair removal.
A key innovation of the Fotona StarWalker MaQX is its Adaptive Structured Pulse (ASP) technology. ASP adapts the temporal structure of each laser pulse to the unique biophotonic dynamics at the treatment site, ensuring optimal laser tissue interaction. This means treatments are not only more effective but also safer, with reduced risk of side effects and minimal downtime for patients.
The laser system’s variable square pulse (VSP) and advanced laser oscillator technology allow for precise control over pulse duration modes and energy delivery. This versatility enables the StarWalker MaQX to target a wide range of skin concerns, from melasma and acne scars to pigmented lesions and unwanted tattoos of various colours. The high energy capabilities of nanosecond lasers with the ultrashort pulse of picosecond lasers create a powerful photoacoustic effect at the treatment site, breaking down pigment particles efficiently while preserving surrounding tissue.
With the Fotona StarWalker MaQX, patients benefit from a comprehensive solution for skin whitening, acne scars, and tattoo removal, as well as overall skin rejuvenation. The system’s advanced q switched energy and laser modalities ensure effective results with minimal discomfort and downtime.
