🔬 What is MLS Laser Therapy and How It Works For All Skin Tones

MLS (Multi-wave Locked System) lasers use two synchronized wavelengths:

• 808 nm (continuous wave): targets inflammation
• 905 nm (pulsed wave): targets pain and penetrates deeper tissues

These wavelengths are both in the near-infrared range, which:

• Penetrates deeper layers of skin and tissue
• Is less likely to cause pigment-related complications than visible light wavelengths (like in IPL or cosmetic lasers)

✅ Why It’s Considered Safe for All Skin Tones:

1. Lower Risk of Pigment Interaction
   Near-infrared lasers have minimal interaction with melanin, reducing risks of burns or pigmentation changes in darker skin types (Fitzpatrick Skin Types IV–VI).
2. Non-Ablative & Non-Thermal (When Used Properly)
   MLS laser doesn’t break the skin or heat it excessively when administered correctly. It’s designed to:
   • Reduce inflammation
   • Stimulate cellular healing (photobiomodulation)
   • Increase blood flow
   • Reduce pain and swelling
3. No Skin Damage or Discoloration
   Unlike some cosmetic lasers, MLS is designed for therapeutic use—not skin resurfacing—so it doesn’t cause blistering, peeling, or pigment disruption.

⚠️ Safety Tips for All Skin Types:

• Make sure your provider moves the laser continuously (no prolonged stationary contact).
• Report any discomfort—burning, itching, or unusual heat.
• Ensure custom settings are used based on skin tone and sensitivity.
• Avoid sunburns or tanning before treatment, which could increase skin sensitivity.
