Fotona StarWalker MaQX at Akiya Aesthetics
The Next Generation in Precision Pigment, Vascular & Rejuvenation Laser
At Akiya Aesthetics, we believe in offering only the most advanced, safe, and results-driven technologies. That’s why we are proud to bring you Fotona’s StarWalker MaQX — a state-of-the-art, multipurpose laser system designed to treat pigmentation, melasma, vascular issues, skin rejuvenation, tattoo removal, and more, with unparalleled precision and minimal downtime.
What Is StarWalker MaQX?
- Ultra-High-Energy Q-Switched System —
StarWalker MaQX can deliver up to 10 J of energy in a single structured pulse via its Modulated Acoustics Q-Switched (MaQX) mode, enabling powerful treatment of deep and superficial pigments. - Adaptive Structured Pulse (ASP) —
This third-generation pulse technology combines the benefits of variable square pulses (VSP) with a smart adaptation of temporal energy structure, so the laser can “tune” itself to the skin response, enhancing safety and efficacy. - Four Wavelengths, Many Modes —
StarWalker operates at multiple wavelengths (including 1064 nm, 532 nm, 650 nm, 585 nm) and supports a variety of modalities such as MaQX, FRAC3, VERSA3, and VERDE to address pigment, vascular lesions, resurfacing, and more. - Fractional & Full-Beam Options —
Using full-beam handpieces or fractional handpieces, the laser energy can be delivered as uniform pulses or in micro-arrays, optimizing results with minimal collateral tissue damage. - Homogeneous Beam Profile & Longevity —
The patented OPTOflex® delivery arm and vacuum-cell design ensure beam uniformity (reducing risk of hotspots) and improved durability of the flashlamp system.
What Can StarWalker MaQX Treat?
StarWalker’s flexibility makes it a powerhouse tool in aesthetic dermatology. At Akiya Aesthetics, we harness it for:
- Pigmented Lesions & Melasma: Using MaQX and FRAC3 modes, StarWalker can fragment pigment particles in both the epidermis and dermis, helping fade melasma, sun spots, freckles, and other hyperpigmentation. Vascular Lesions & Redness: The VERDE long-pulse mode (532 nm) is particularly suited to treat superficial vascular lesions (broken capillaries, redness).
- Skin Rejuvenation & Tone Improvement
Fractional MaQX pulses stimulate collagen remodeling and skin tightening, improving texture, pores, fine lines, and overall radiance. - Tattoo & Pigment Removal: Thanks to multi-wavelength capability and proprietary FracTAT® protocols, StarWalker MaQX is among the top choices for safe, effective tattoo removal and pigmented tattoo fading.
How StarWalker MaQX Works (in Your Skin)
- Precise Impulses — MaQX pulses generate extremely short, high-peak bursts of energy (nanosecond + picosecond structure), producing a photoacoustic (mechanical) effect that “shatters” pigment particles into smaller fragments, without excessive thermal damage to surrounding tissue.
- Selective Absorption — The various wavelengths in StarWalker are absorbed by chromophores like melanin and oxyhemoglobin. By selecting the right mode and wavelength, we can target pigment or vascular lesions specifically. Fractional Targeting — In fractional mode, micro-zones of the skin are targeted, leaving surrounding tissue unharmed, which accelerates healing and recovery. M
- Elimination & Remodeling — The fragmented pigment is cleared naturally by the skin’s immune mechanisms. Simultaneously, laser energy stimulates collagen repair and remodeling, improving skin quality over time.
Why Choose Akiya Aesthetics for Melasma Treatment
With 15+ years of dermatology experience, Dr. Rupika blends medical precision with an artistic eye to deliver results that look natural, healthy, and radiant.
Consultation & Skin Mapping
Your journey begins with a thorough dermatology assessment and skin mapping to choose the optimal wavelength, mode, and protocol for your skin type and concern.
Comfortable Treatment Delivery
We use customized settings and optional cooling to ensure you remain comfortable throughout. Most sessions last 15-45 minutes depending on the area treated.
Customised, Layered Protocols
No two melasma cases are alike. We combine prescription therapies, advanced lasers, and medical-grade peels into a bespoke plan tailored to your skin type and severity.
Healing & Results
You may experience mild redness or warmth, which subsides within hours to a day. Over the succeeding days, pigment starts loosening and shedding, while collagen remodeling kicks in gradually.
Course & Maintenance
For melasma and deeper pigment conditions, we typically recommend 3–6 sessions spaced 3–6 weeks apart — sometimes in combination with topical regimens, maintenance treatments, and strict photoprotection.
Advantages of StarWalker MaQX at Akiya Aesthetics
- High Efficacy, Fewer Sessions – The unmatched energy levels of MaQX mean deeper pigment can be addressed in fewer sessions.
- Customisable Softness – Operators can choose softness levels (MaQX-1, 2, 5, 10) to balance power vs comfort, especially on sensitive skin areas.
- Broad Wavelength Spectrum – Ability to treat a wide array of pigment, vascular and tattoo concerns from a single platform.
- Minimal Downtime – Fractional modes and controlled pulses ensure fast recovery and low risk of adverse effects.
- Safety & Beam Uniformity – OPTOflex® and vacuum-cell design reduce the chance of hotspots or tissue injury.
- Longer Device Lifespan – The flashlamp and system design are optimized for lower wear and extended performance.
Who Is an Ideal Candidate?
- Patients with melasma, sun spots, freckles, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
- Those wanting tattoo removal or fading
- People seeking skin rejuvenation, redness reduction, or vascular lesion treatment
- Anyone looking for a versatile, all-in-one laser solution with minimal downtime
