How Fotona StarWalker Works

The Fotona StarWalker Q-Switched laser is engineered to target and break down tattoo pigments without damaging the surrounding skin. It utilizes single nanosecond pulses, which are more effective at removing pigments than other laser systems that use multiple pulses. The StarWalker’s high-energy pulses penetrate the skin and are selectively absorbed by the tattoo ink. This absorption causes the ink particles to break into smaller fragments, which are then naturally eliminated by your body’s immune system.

One of the key advantages of the StarWalker system is its ability to deliver extremely short pulses of light, which are crucial for targeting deep and stubborn pigments. The laser’s precision allows it to reach even the deepest layers of skin, ensuring that the treatment is effective for both new and old tattoos. The single pulse technology also avoids the common issue of optical shielding, where pigment particles block subsequent laser energy. As a result, more pigments are targeted in each session, making the process more efficient.

Multi-Wavelength Technology for All Colors

Tattoo removal can be particularly challenging when dealing with multi-colored designs. Different ink colors absorb different wavelengths of light, so a laser system must be versatile to treat all colors effectively. The Fotona StarWalker stands out with its four-wavelength technology, which allows it to treat virtually every commonly used tattoo ink color. Whether your tattoo includes black, red, blue, green, or any other hue, the StarWalker can target and break down the pigments effectively.

The laser emits energy in extremely short pulses that fragment the ink into smaller particles. These particles are then gradually removed by your body over a series of treatments. While each session only takes a few minutes, several treatments are typically necessary to completely remove the tattoo. To ensure your skin has time to heal and clear the pigment residue, treatments are spaced three weeks apart.

Safe and Precise Tattoo Removal

Safety is a top priority at Reign Medical Aesthetics, and the Fotona StarWalker’s advanced technology ensures that your tattoo removal process is as safe as it is effective. The StarWalker features a homogenous laser beam profile, meaning the laser energy is evenly distributed across the treatment area. This uniformity minimizes the risk of side effects such as skin damage, bleeding, and changes in skin texture.

Additionally, the system’s innovative handpieces, including the R-HX handpiece, are designed to deliver laser pulses with precision. The hexagonal shape of the laser beam profile allows for more uniform coverage, ensuring there are no gaps or overlaps during treatment. This precision leads to better clinical outcomes, with more consistent and effective tattoo removal.

Advanced Tattoo Removal

The Fotona StarWalker is one of the most advanced Q-Switched laser systems available for tattoo removal. Its superior performance is due to several factors:

  • High-Energy Single Pulses: The laser’s single nanosecond pulses are more efficient at breaking down tattoo pigments than multiple-pulse systems. This efficiency means fewer treatments are needed to achieve the desired results.
  • Multi-Wavelength Capability: The StarWalker’s four wavelengths allow it to treat a wide range of tattoo colors, making it ideal for complex and multi-colored tattoos.
  • Precision and Safety: The laser’s homogenous beam profile and innovative handpieces ensure that treatments are both safe and effective, with minimal risk of side effects.
