Skin Technique is excited to be offering the newest treatment for melasma, sun damage, and age spots with the most advanced q-switched laser on the market, Fotona’s StarWalker®.
The StarWalker® is built for maximum performance with patented, state-of-the-art innovations to make treatments safer and more effective. Using acoustic shockwaves, rather than heat, to break apart melasma. Nothing beats the versatility of StarWalker®.
Optimal results are achieved with a series of 6-8 sessions performed every 4 weeks for the face and every 8 weeks for the body. Once your desired complexion is achieved, we recommend that you complete additional maintenance treatments as needed; typically, these additional treatments happen 2-3 times per year. Your personalized consultation will discuss the frequency right for you.
There is little to no down-time linked to a StarWalker treatment, however depending on the treatment type you may experience redness, mild swelling, pinpoint bleeding, or bruising. If you do experience any of these symptoms, they will resolve in as little as a few hours to 7-10 days depending on your skin’s sensitivity and the treatment intensity. When treating melasma or pigmentation of any kind you can also expect temporary darkening of the treated pigmentation. It is important to use a recommended medical-grade lightening agent to support and optimize the treatment outcome.
Unlike some other lasers, StarWalker® is designed to be used on all skin types and tones—this includes patients with deeper complexions who have been left out of many cosmetic laser treatments in the past. This means you can count on safety, precision, and problem-free melasma and sun damage removal without the fear of surface damage.
