FDA has cleared a Fotona 510(k) for its new StarWalker MaQX Q-Switched laser system for treating tattoos, pigmented and vascular lesions, acne and scar revision and permanent hair reduction. The device is designed in an ergonomic compact size and features 110v or 220v and an intuitive, interactive touch screen with user-friendly application wizards, according to the company. It uses high-powered picosecond pulses in nanosecond packettes for more control and new applications, it says, adding that it provides 10 Joules of Q-Switched energy in one MaQX pulse to treat larger spot sizes.
