High Performance Aesthetic Treatments
The QX MAX’s high-energy, single-pulse technology is vastly more efficient at removing pigments than multi-pulse lasers that generate equivalently high level of energy. With 5 ns pulses of up to 1.6 J energy, the QX MAX’s single-pulse Q-switched technology generates larger spot sizes that remain effective with deeper-lying pigments.
Single pulses are not affected by the optical shielding phenomenon arising from pigment destruction. Therefore, more and deeper-lying pigments can be targeted and removed, and treatment efficacy and efficiency in a single session are maximized. The use of larger spot sizes also requires less fluence to be effective, reducing the risk of unwanted side effects such as tissue splatter, bleeding and textural changes.
Four Wavelengths for a Complete Pigment Range
Laser wavelength must be carefully considered when removing pigments, especially with multi-colored tattoos and vascular lesions. The laser wavelength is what determines which pigment color or chromophore will be predominantly targeted by the laser to selectively remove it. To ensure safe and effective treatments, you’ll need an optimized selection of wavelengths to target a wide range of pigments.
The QX MAX’s Nd:YAG laser provides the ideal platform for initiating wavelength conversions to create a true multi-wavelength pigment removal solution. The QX MAX offers four treatment wavelengths in a single system:
- 1064 nm Nd:YAG to treat and remove dark pigments
- 532 nm KTP for lighter pigments, vascular lesions and red, tan, purple and orange tattoo inks
- 650 nm dye for green tattoo inks
- 585 nm dye for sky blue inks and vascular lesions
This optimal selection of wavelengths provides the ability to treat a plethora of pigmented and vascular lesions, as well as the most complex, multi-colored tattoos. And with the additional support of Fotona's Accelera technology, the QX MAX can be safely and effectively used for all common aesthetic treatments such as hair removal, acne treatments and much more.

Highest Beam Profile Quality
Achieving a homogeneous beam profile is technically challenging due to the non-linearity of Q-switched lasers. Fotona’s advanced Q-switched technology relies on groundbreaking solutions such as patented OPTOflex® and Vacuum Cell technologies to produce an almost perfectly homogeneous beam profile.
Homogeneity of the laser beam profile ensures greater safety during treatments since laser energy is evenly distributed across the treated area. Epidermal damage is minimized and the risk of bleeding, tissue splatter and transient textural changes in the skin is significantly decreased.
OPTOflex® Technology
Fotona’s state-of-the-art, patented OPTOflex® articulated arm is specifically designed to transmit Q-switched laser light with minimal loss of energy. Its ergonomic design also allows the handpiece to naturally follow hand movement during procedures, further enhancing treatment precision and accuracy in the most delicate and demanding treatments.
Even more, OPTOflex® includes revolutionary Vacuum Cell Technology to create perfectly uniform laser spots. This avoids the "ringed effect" that standard Q-switched technologies produce. Because the laser power is not concentrated in one area within the laser spot, the risk of unwanted side effects and skin damage is minimized.
The OPTOflex® arm is light, compact and folds back to decrease system height. With an unlimited range of motion and treatment quality benefits unlike any other beam delivery system, OPTOflex® is definitive of the next generation in high-performance laser delivery for high-powered lasers.
