Fotona StarWalker® MaQX

Unleash the next generation of laser precision with StarWalker® MaQX, the most advanced Q-switched laser system available. Designed for tattoo removal, skin rejuvenation, vascular treatments, and more, it combines picosecond-level precision with nanosecond energy bursts, giving practitioners unparalleled control, speed, and effectiveness.
What Sets It Apart

Four Laser Wavelengths
Fotona StarWalker® MaQX delivers four laser wavelengths to cover the complete absorption spectrum of melanin, oxyhemoglobin, and water.
Modulated Acoustics Q-Switched Laser System
The Fotona StarWalker® MaQX features the entire range of super-short pulse technologies in a single, high-performance solution. The patented MaQX pulse modalities produce powerful bursts of laser energy that photoacoustically break apart skin pigmentations into smaller, more easily eliminated particles.
Adaptive Structured Pulse (ASP) Technology
Enables laser pulse shapes to be adapted to the bio-photonic dynamics of a particular treatment.
Inside the Technology

The OPTOflex® Articulated Arm
The OPTOflex® articulated arm is specifically designed to efficiently transmit the laser beam without losing energy or changing the beam’s original properties. The shape and magnitude of the aiming beam enhances visibility, allowing for easier, faster treatments and greater precision. OPTOflex® is light, compact and folds back to decrease system height.
Intuitive Touchscreen Display
Designed for ease of use, the high-resolution touchscreen offers an intuitive interface with seamless navigation. Pre-set treatment parameters, real-time monitoring, and responsive controls ensure precision, efficiency, and a streamlined workflow for every procedure.
Advanced Titanium Handpiece Technology
Equipped with a range of titanium handpieces, the system offers versatility across multiple applications. Each handpiece is designed for specific treatments, enabling practitioners to customize procedures for optimal patient outcomes. The handpieces facilitate a variety of laser modalities, enhancing the system’s adaptability and performance.
