StarWalker\u00ae and its groundbreaking ASP (Adaptive Structured Pulse) technology represent a cosmic shift forward for the medical and aesthetic laser industry.
\nThis third-generation technology combines the unsurpassed range of pulse duration modes of Fotona\u2019s VSP (Variable Square Pulse) technology with the revolutionary capability of ASP technology to adapt the temporal structure of laser pulses to the bio-photonic dynamics of laser-tissue interaction.<\/p>\n

Power of a pico Laser with an Energy of a Q-Switched Laser<\/strong><\/h4>\n

StarWalker\u2019s unique TMD (Transverse Mode Discrimination) laser oscillator technology combined with the ASP pulse control delivers very short (5 nsec) Q-switched pulses consisting of a high energy train of ultra-short bursts of energy in trillionths of a second, enabling photomechanical impact to shatter tiny skin targets without injury to the surrounding skin. StarWalker\u2019s technology thus combines the high energy capabilities of nanosecond lasers with the ultrashort pulse peak powers of traditional picosecond lasers.<\/p>\n

Modulated Acoustics Q-Switched (MaQX) Laser System \u2013 Unmatched Q-Switched Pulse Energy<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Fotona\u2019s StarWalker laser system features the entire range of super-short pulse technologies in a single, high-performance solution. StarWalker\u2019s patented MaQX pulse modalities produce powerful bursts of laser energy that photoacoustically break apart skin pigmentations into smaller, more easily eliminated particles.<\/p>\n

Based on revolutionary ASP technology, StarWalker is capable of delivering up to an unprecedented 10 J of Q-switched energy in one giant structured MaQX pulse.
\nThe unique MaQX high energy capability of StarWalker enables the generation of a higher energy photoacoustic effect at the treatment site, leading to more effective and faster treatments.
\nAdditionally, with high MaQX energies, larger spotsizes can be used resulting in more homogeneous treatments of even deeper lying skin pigments, and therefore with reduced risk of unwanted side effects.<\/p>\n

These arrays contain concentrations of energy while the surrounding area remains unaffected by the laser light.<\/p>\n Longer System Lifetime: Almost 100% flashlamp pulse utilization<\/strong><\/h4>\n Most standard Q-switched laser systems can only achieve stable output during laser beam operation by ensuring that their flashlamps are pulsed internally at a constantly high repetition rate, even when the operator selects a single-pulse or low repetition rate mode. As a result the laser system and especially the flashlamp, one of the most important components, can burn out prematurely due to overuse. This is not the case with the StarWalker\u2019s patented Vacuum Cell & OPTOflex technology, where the laser flashlamp is activated only when actual laser output is required. A much lower burden on the laser system is imposed, resulting in a longer flashlamp lifetime and lower costs of laser system maintenance.<\/p>\n Patented solutions for a homogenous beam profile<\/strong><\/h4>\n Homogeneity of a laser beam profile ensures safety during treatment since laser energy is evenly distributed across the treated area. Epidermal damage is minimized and the risks of bleeding, tissue splatter and transient textural changes in the skin are decreased. Achieving homogeneous beam profiles has been a great challenge for the laser industry due to the nonlinearity of Q-switched lasers. \nFotona\u2019s StarWalker advanced Q-switched laser technology relies on groundbreaking solutions such as patented OPTOflex\u00ae and Vacuum Cell Technologies to produce almost perfectly homogeneous beam profiles. \nThe OPTOflex\u00ae articulated arm is specifically designed to efficiently transmit the laser beam without losing energy or changing the beam\u2019s original properties. \nThe shape and magnitude of the aiming beam enhances visibility, allowing for easier, faster treatments and greater precision. OPTOflex\u00ae is light, compact and folds back to decrease system height. \nWith laser quality benefits unlike any other beam delivery system, OPTOflex\u00ae is definitive of the next generation in laser delivery systems for high-power lasers.<\/p>\n Key Treatments<\/h4>\n  <\/p>\n \nTattoo Removal<\/div>\n  <\/p>\n \nPigmented Lesions<\/div>\n  <\/p>\n \nVascular Lesions<\/div>\n  <\/p>\n \nAcne & Acne Scar Revision<\/div>\n  <\/p>\n \nPermanent Hair Reduction<\/div>\n  <\/p>\n Accessories<\/h4>\n  <\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Clinical Results<\/h4>\n  <\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Fotona is announcing a new model of Q-switched laser system StarWalker MaQX to be introduced in 2017.
