Hello.

I’m Kim Jin-hyun, Chief Director of UI Dermatology Clinic, Mokdong branch.

“ I have melasma, redness,

and enlarged pores too..

Where should I start? ”

In reality, many people deal with several skin concerns at the same time.

Honestly, it is even harder to find someone who is worried about just one issue.

Of course, you may want to get rid of them as soon as possible, but it is only natural to worry whether that is okay.

But if you try to treat each one separately, both the time and cost can be significant.

One solution worth considering in situations like this is ‘Photona StarWalker.’

What is Photona StarWalker?

This is Photona StarWalker :)

Photona StarWalker is one of the rare devices that can be seen as a comprehensive solution.

Rather than a laser for a single purpose, it is a hybrid laser system that uses a total of four wavelengths: 1064nm, 532nm, 585nm, and 650nm.

This means it can flexibly target various lesions located at different depths within the skin.

For example, shallow melasma or blemishes can be approached with the 532nm wavelength, while deeper pigmentation or nevus of Ota can be treated with the 1064nm wavelength.

Vascular redness-related lesions such as telangiectasia can be approached with the 585nm wavelength, and enlarged pores or improvements in skin texture can be addressed in fractional mode.

In other words, the defining feature of Photona StarWalker is that it allows customized treatment with a single device for skin with multiple concerns.

Unlike lasers that focus only on one issue such as pigmentation, it is differentiated by the fact that it can also cover vascular lesions.

Photona StarWalker VS Pico Laser

“What’s different from a pico laser?”

This is also a common question.

A pico laser is characterized by its ability to quickly break up pigment in an extremely short time on the picosecond scale.

However, much of its focus is on pigmentation or skin tone improvement.

On the other hand, Photona StarWalker can use a combination of pico + nano energy through the MaQX mode.

The MaQX mode can target pigments at various depths at the same time, acting on both the upper and lower layers of the skin and potentially working effectively on skin where melasma or blemishes recur.

In addition, Photona StarWalker’s Verde mode can contribute to the treatment of vascular conditions, making it capable of addressing redness and erythematous acne as well.

FracTAT technology may also help to some extent in evening out skin texture and supporting pore reduction.

In summary, if the pico laser is relatively focused on pigmentation, Photona StarWalker can target pigmentation, blood vessels, and texture more evenly.

Photona StarWalker downtime

Then what about Photona StarWalker downtime?

For modern people who are busy every day, downtime is one of the very important factors to consider.

Photona StarWalker is known to have relatively short downtime.

This is possible because the device’s beam itself has a structure that allows even dispersion during irradiation.

Because it disperses the necessary heat to the lesion area without excessive energy concentration, it can act effectively on the deeper skin while reducing irritation to the skin surface.

Of course, individual differences exist, but you may be able to feel a bit less burden regarding scabbing, redness, or peeling.

Blemishes, blood vessels, pores... it is not common for a skin concern to end with just one issue.

In such cases, Photona StarWalker can be a useful solution that changes the traditional approach, where multiple devices are used for each concern and treatments have to be split up.

If you want to consider both effectiveness and convenience, Photona StarWalker is definitely an option worth reviewing at least once^^

Thank you.
