“Dr Jacek Sitkiewicz and the whole GoodLight Clinic team would like to thank Dr Tanja Phillips for delivering such an inspiring workshop on facial aesthetics with the Fotona laser. Her expertise reminded us once again that dentistry and wellbeing truly go hand in hand. We are so grateful for the knowledge shared and the time spent with us.”
Dr Jacek SitkiewiczGood Light Clinic
“I recently purchased a Fotona Timewalker II Laser as my first ever laser. I am so glad I did - the team and service have been wonderful, the training one-to-one bespoke and the machines are such high quality and amazingly versatile. The workhorse SMOOTH technology isn't available with other lasers, and it even ablates better than CO2. All in all I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.”
Owen Thomas

What is Accelera?
Accelera pulse technology generates sub-millisecond Nd:YAG pulsewidths to provide minimally invasive skin rejuvenation and many other popular non-ablative aesthetic treatments.
What is FRAC3®?
FRAC3® is a three-dimensional treatment effect that seeks out minuscule, age-related imperfections in skin tissue. With FRAC3® more surrounding tissue remains unaffected, ensuring faster healing and less patient downtime compared to conventional fractional treatments.
What is PIANO mode?
PIANO mode is a new Nd:YAG bulk heating approach based on super-long pulse durations (0.3 – 60 s) which are longer than the thermal relaxation time of the epidermis and other skin structures such as hair follicles or blood vessels. Since PIANO mode does not cause high initial temperature peaks in the epidermis, it is the safest mode for reaching deeper lying skin tissues.
What is EFC?
EFC (Energy Feedback Control) technology is a core safety feature which actively monitors each individual pulse’s energy level to ensure that the output energy is exactly matched to the practitioner’s chosen parameters throughout the duration of each treatment session.
What is VSP?
VSP (Variable Square Pulse) technology is a patented solution for generating square laser pulses for more controlled energy absorption. Pulse durations can be adjusted from 50 us up to 1500 us, depending on the practitioner’s needs. VSP pulse technology minimizes unnecessary laser energy absorption into body tissues and helps to ensure ultimate performance and patient comfort during laser treatments.
What is TURBO mode?
TURBO mode is an Er:YAG treatment modality that enables very large ablation depths to be achieved by stacking multiple pulses on the same treatment area. Turbo mode can be used to reach deeper into the dermis than traditional (non-fractional) resurfacing to achieve particular clinical effects.
FracTAT® Technology for a Diverse Spectrum of Solutions
FracRevive® Photorejuvenation
FracRevive® photorejuvenation is an easy-to-perform 2-step treatment that combines both full-spot brushing and fractional FracTAT® stamping technologies. It effectively reduces pore size, diminishes the appearance of pigmentation spots and wrinkles, and enhances overall skin texture while unifying skin tone.
FracTAT® for Rejuvenation, Pigments and Scars
The FracTAT® procedure in ablative mode enables deep resurfacing with minimal downtime, making it an ideal solution for acne scar revision, skin rejuvenation, and skin texture improvement. Additionally, FracTAT® can be performed in a gentler non-ablative mode, generating fractional microscopic lesions within tissues as a result of micro cavitations and plasma formation. These are rapidly healed by the intact surrounding tissue, leaving the skin refreshed with fewer imperfections.
Patented FracTAT® Tattoo Removal
In the Fotona FracTAT® tattoo removal procedure, micro-holes are drilled with a fractional laser handpiece (1), followed by treatment with a full-beam handpiece (2). Micro-holes reduce the frosting effect and pressure on the surrounding tissue and act as pressure relief ducts (3), allowing gases formed in the tattoo removal process to escape. This enables deeper pigments to be reached (4), leading to more efficient pigment destruction.
What is SMOOTH mode?
SMOOTH mode is a Er:YAG treatment modality that delivers laser energy onto the skin in a fast sequence of low-fluence laser pulses inside an overall super-long pulse of 200-350 msec. Because SMOOTH pulses are longer than the epidermal TRT, the effect of SMOOTH mode is gentle coagulative heating of the skin without any significant ablation of the epidermis.

Widest range of procedure modes
MaQX Pro offers an extended pulse range for enhanced treatment versatility—enabling practitioners to perform skin toning and rejuvenation, pigmented lesions removal, tattoo removal, active acne treatments, vascular lesion removal, hair removal, and more—going far beyond the capabilities of traditional Q-switched lasers.
Smart & intuitive technology
Easy-to-use parameter selection
Responsive parameter control
User-friendly application wizards for recommended parameters
Quick access to integrated treatment history and patient database via a large display
Fully customizable memory storage for preset treatments
An impressive range of compact, color-coded titanium-grade handpieces with automatic detection of handpiece type and spot size
Dual-monitor Energy Feedback Control (EFC)
Using a dual-channel feedback loop, EFC ensures that the energy output precisely matches the selected treatment parameters, giving you the peace of mind that every pulse is safely and accurately delivered throughout the entire session. This eliminates energy fluctuations common in less advanced systems and removes the need for manual recalibration.
OPTOflex®
Homogeneity of a laser beam is crucial for safety during treatment, as it ensures even energy distribution across the treated area. This may reduce the risk of epidermal damage, bleeding, tissue splatter, and transient skin texture changes. Achieving such homogeneity has long been a challenge in the laser industry due to the nonlinear nature of Q-switched lasers, but it is essential for optimal performance. The OPTOflex® articulated arm is designed to efficiently transmit the laser beam without losing energy or changing the beam’s original properties.
VERDE
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.
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.
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.
