Pigmented Lesions
Dive into the Tech
The Fotona StarWalker® MaQX offers a fast and effective solution for removing various benign pigmented lesions, including freckles, age spots, birthmarks, moles, seborrheic and actinic keratoses, and more. The Q-switched technology of the Fotona StarWalker® MaQX is highly effective due to its high peak power and selective action, targeting pigments exclusively without affecting surrounding cells.
How it Works
The treatment is performed through a streamlined three step process.
STEP 1
Short nanosecond light pulses pass harmlessly through the skin's top layers, targeting the melanin in the lesion.
STEP 2
Laser light converts to photoacoustic waves, breaking melanin pigment into smaller particles.
STEP 3
The body's immune system removes these particles as skin macrophages clear excess pigment from the area.

Q-Switched Laser Treatment of Pigmented Lesions in Asian Skin
The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy and safety of different 1064-nm Q-switched (QS) Nd:YAG and 532-nm KTP laser treatment protocols used in the treatment of pigmented lesions of Asian skin.
CASE REPORT: StarWalker VERDE for Treatment of Ephelides and Lentigo
This study highlights the safety and effectiveness of long-pulsed KTP for the removal of epidermal pigmented lesions and the improvement of skin tone and texture in patients with Fitzpatrick skin types III–IV.
REVIEW: Clinical Results in Thermolytic and Sub-Thermolytic Q-Switched Nd:YAG Skin Rejuvenation
The studies reviewed in this paper show that subthermolytic Q-switched laser therapy can be a safe and effective way to perform skin rejuvenation even on high phototype skin patients.
High Fluence, High Beam Quality Q-Switched Nd:YAG Laser with Optoflex Delivery System for Treating Benign Pigmented Lesions and Tattoos
This article highlights how the Q-switched Nd:YAG medical laser provides an ideal combination for treating pigments and tattoos—ranging from superficial to deep-lying pigments, from black, brown, and blue to red, orange, and purple, and from the least absorbent to the most absorbent pigments.
