Fotona StarWalker MaQX Dermatology

Fotona StarWalker MaQX
Combining four complementary wavelengths and
14 laser modalities, the StarWalker functions as
a highly versatile, multipurpose system that
performs a wide range of applications in
aesthetics. StarWalker’s energy,
four colors and proprietary FracTAT
procedure also make StarWalker an
industry leading tattoo removal laser system.

Since its introduction, Fotona’s QX MAX has
been globally recognized as an
ultraperformance Q-switched laser system.
The StarWalker represents the next important
evolutionary step forward and takes the system to
an even higher level.

StarWalker’s third-generation technology
combines the unsurpassed range of
pulse duration modes of Fotona’s VSP
(Variable Square Pulse) technology with
the revolutionary capability of ASP to
adapt the temporal structure of laser pulses to
the biophotonic dynamics of laser-tissue interaction.

StarWalker is capable of delivering up to
an unprecedented 10 J of Q-switched energy in
one giant structured MaQX pulse for
treating epidermal and dermal pigmented lesions,
and includes long-pulse infrared VERSA3 and
green VERDE™ modes for enhanced vascular treatments.

ASP: Third Generation Technology

StarWalker and its groundbreaking ASP
(Adaptive Structured Pulse) technology represent a
cosmic shift forward for the medical and
aesthetic laser industry.

This third-generation technology combines the
unsurpassed range of pulse duration modes of
Fotona’s VSP (Variable Square Pulse) technology with
the revolutionary capability of ASP technology to
adapt the temporal structure of laser pulses to
the bio-photonic dynamics of
laser-tissue interaction.

Power of a pico Laser with an Energy of a Q-Switched Laser

StarWalker’s unique TMD (Transverse Mode Discrimination)
laser oscillator technology combined with the ASP
pulse control delivers very short (5 nsec)
Q-switched pulses consisting of a high energy train of
ultra-short bursts of energy in trillionths of a second,
enabling photomechanical impact to
shatter tiny skin targets without injury to
the surrounding skin. StarWalker’s technology thus combines the high energy capabilities of nanosecond lasers with
the ultrashort pulse peak powers of traditional picosecond lasers.

Modulated Acoustics Q-Switched (MaQX) Laser System – Unmatched Q-Switched Pulse Energy

Fotona’s StarWalker laser system features the entire range of
super-short pulse technologies in a single,
high-performance solution.
StarWalker’s patented MaQX pulse modalities produce
powerful bursts of laser energy that
photoacoustically break apart skin pigmentations into smaller,
more easily eliminated particles.

Based on revolutionary ASP technology,
StarWalker is capable of delivering up to
an unprecedented 10 J of Q-switched energy in
one giant structured MaQX pulse.
The unique MaQX high energy capability of
StarWalker enables the generation of
a higher energy photoacoustic effect at
the treatment site, leading to
more effective and faster treatments.
Additionally, with high MaQX energies,
larger spotsizes can be used resulting in
more homogeneous treatments of even deeper lying
skin pigments, and therefore with
reduced risk of unwanted side effects.
