Core energy
Q-switched MaQX
High-energy photoacoustic pulses are central to the platform.
Photoacoustic Laser Platform
StarWalker® MaQX
StarWalker® MaQX supports pigment correction, vascular applications, tattoo removal, and selected skin renewal protocols.
What It Is
A photoacoustic platform with broad pigment and tattoo capability.
Fotona describes StarWalker MaQX as a high-energy Q-switched platform capable of treating epidermal and dermal pigment and tattoos, with additional long-pulse modes that broaden its treatment range. At Lenox, the technology is linked to the concern first — not selected by the patient from a machine list.
Additional modes
VERSA3 + VERDE™
Long-pulse infrared and green modes broaden selected vascular applications.
Common roles
Pigment & tattoo
The platform is strongly associated with pigmented lesions and tattoo treatment.

Pigmentation, redness, scars, hair, and tattoos do not all behave the same way. StarWalker® MaQX may be appropriate for some of these goals, while SP Dynamis or another option may make more sense for others.

Technology FAQ
Common questions.
Is StarWalker only for tattoo removal?
No. Tattoo removal is one important use, but the platform also supports pigment, acne/scar, hair-reduction, vascular, wrinkle, and selected rejuvenation applications.
Is StarWalker the same as SP Dynamis?
No. They are separate Fotona platforms with different energy-delivery characteristics and overlapping but non-identical applications.
Why can both Fotona machines treat some of the same concerns?
Different wavelengths, pulse structures, depths, and treatment goals can make more than one technology relevant to the same broad concern.
Do I need to know whether I need StarWalker before booking?
No. If your goal is pigment, scars, tattoo removal, hair reduction, or skin renewal, start with that goal and let physician assessment guide the device choice.
