Powered by advanced ASP technology, StarWalker® features a unique green long-pulse VERDE mode, specifically designed for the treatment of vascular lesions. It offers a range of long-pulse durations (15, 20, 30, and 50 ms) to effectively target blood vessels and vascular lesions of different sizes. The 532 nm wavelength aligns with one of the oxyhemoglobin absorption peaks, allowing for the treatment of superficial vascular lesions, while the 1064 nm wavelength can target deeper and larger vessels.
KTP VERDE also allows for safe and effective removal of freckles and sun spots in patients with Fitzpatrick skin type IV, with no long-lasting adverse effects. Full-face application of long-pulsed KTP can result in improved skin texture and tone.
StarWalker’s unique VERDE mode delivers 532 nm energy in long millisecond pulses designed for treating superficial vascular lesions.
FRAC3®
StarWalker® MaQX Pro features the revolutionary FRAC3® pulse modality, utilizing the microsecond pulse duration and high peak power density of Fotona’s VSP™ Nd:YAG pulse technology to produce a three-dimensional fractional pattern in the epidermis and dermis. This creates damage islands that are predominantly located at the sites of targeted skin imperfections. The skin’s natural healing response then acts to repair the microdamage, thereby safely rejuvenating the skin.
Standard Q-switched laser systems cannot deliver Nd:YAG laser pulses in the ‘long-pulse’ duration regime.
VERSA3
StarWalker® MaQX Pro also delivers longer 1064 nm VERSA3 pulses with a range of durations (15, 20, 25, and 50 ms), which are clinically well-proven for a broad range of treatments, such as active acne, wrinkle reduction, hair removal, and the treatment of warts or onychomycosis.
Standard Q-switched laser systems cannot deliver Nd:YAG laser pulses in the ‘long-pulse’ duration regime.
