Watch it in Action

What Sets It Apart

Multipurpose device capable of performing a wide range of dermatological applications.

Patient safety and comfort in ultra-performance MaQX mode are enhanced by the Fotona StarWalker® MaQX’s ability to select treatment softness levels (MaQX-1 to MaQX-10), ensuring a gentler, less invasive effect on tissue.

The Fotona StarWalker® MaQX has been recognized for its advanced technology.

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.

The Fotona StarWalker® MaQX is an amazing addition to my practice. It allows us to treat melasma, rosacea, acne, and tattoo removal, with patients experiencing less downtime and discomfort.

Zinovations

Fotona StarWalker® MaQX is the best tool to treat Melasma because it has a hybrid pulse of picosecond and nanosecond that address each of the physiopathological components present in clinical symptoms such as: pigmentation, elastosis, and the vascular component, among others..

Nathalia Correz-Velez MD

Treating melasma successfully is challenging; however, the Fotona StarWalker® PQX has made it a lot easier and safer. The results are outstanding and patients tolerate the treatments very well. A side effect of this treatment is improved skin quality and in many cases improvement of fine lines and wrinkles. Needless to say – win-win: patients are very happy and refer others to our practice.
