For those with concerns of visible pigmentation, green toning with Fotona’s Starwalker utilises two wavelengths and a very short Q-switch pulse to safely and effectively treat epidermal and dermal pigmented lesions. The Q-switch pulse works by shattering the pigments so they can be naturally broken down and flushed away through the body’s lymphatic system. It is a non-ablative treatment that focuses on reducing the appearance of solar lentigines (sun spots), freckles and post inflammatory hyper-pigmentation. Unlike many other laser devices, this treatment delivers minimal thermal energy, therefore making it a safe and effective treatment for managing melasma.
