What Happens During the StarWalker® Laser Procedure?
StarWalker® uses photoacoustic energy to break down the pigments in your skin into smaller particles. These particles are able to leave the body through the lymphatic system. It uses ultra-short bursts of energy focussed towards intended micro-pigments to deal with melasma pigmentation that requires precision.
Unlike other lasers, the StarWalker® does not generate heat energy that may have ablative effects on the target area and its surrounding tissues. Instead, the skin pigments disintegrate gently without harming the skin.

StarWalker® laser therapy is suitable for people of all skin types and tones, including those with deeper complexions who are often excluded from laser therapies. Our skin expert will evaluate your skin condition and determine the most suitable treatment plan and whether StarWalker® laser therapy is effective for you.
