- Minimally invasive
- Long-term results
Melasma is a complex condition that has long been difficult to treat, with improvements in most cases sustainable only for short periods of time. The patented MaQX Clear® procedure with the StarWalker® MaQX system is a multifactorial approach that not only treats hyperpigmentation symptoms, but is also believed to have beneficial effects on the vascular component of melasma.
How does MaQX Clear® work?
The 1st step applies Q-s Nd:YAG pulses with MaQX1, which delivers a subcellular photoacoustic effect oriented to the destruction of melanosomes and the fragmentation of dermal melanin.
The 2nd step uses low-fluence, short FRAC3® pulses, which research suggests may be beneficial for treating the microvascular components that cause erythema.
The 3rd step requires the use of the patented FracTAT® technology for fractional non-ablative and ablative treatments with the purpose to stimulate the exchange of keratinocytes and provide non-thermal rejuvenation of the tissue.
The 4thstep consists of the application of the Nd:YAG VERSA mode if vascular lesions are visible. This penetrates to a depth of 5-6 mm into the skin, allowing for highly effective removal of the lesions.

What is VSP?
VSP (Variable Square Pulse) technology is a patented solution for generating square laser pulses for more controlled energy absorption. Pulse durations can be adjusted from 50 us up to 1500 us, depending on the practitioner’s needs. VSP pulse technology minimizes unnecessary laser energy absorption into body tissues and helps to ensure ultimate performance and patient comfort during laser treatments.
