07FAQ
Frequently asked questions
QHow is it different from PicoWay?+
The pulse method and power characteristics differ. Shallow, widespread pigment often favors PicoWay, while deep, dense lesions often favor StarWalker — which is why lesion diagnosis comes first.
QCan nevus of Ota be treated?+
Yes — nevus of Ota, a dermal pigmented lesion, is treatable with laser. It requires multiple sessions, and response varies by individual.
QWhy are the treatment intervals so long?+
Deep lesions need time for pigment clearance and skin recovery, so we typically space sessions 4-8 weeks apart.
Fees
Pricing depends on lesion, extent, and number of sessions, and is confirmed after consultation.
