MLS® Laser Therapy

MLS® Mphi 75Multiwave Locked System

The MLS® Mphi 75 by ASA Laser is a Class IV medical laser device that simultaneously emits two synchronised therapeutic wavelengths — 808 nm and 905 nm — to deliver clinically proven pain relief, anti-inflammatory action, and accelerated tissue repair from the very first session.

The MLS® Technology

Two Synchronised Wavelengths. One Locked Beam.

The 'Locked' in MLS® refers to the patented synchronisation of both wavelengths into a single emission — producing a combined therapeutic effect that is greater than the sum of its parts.

808 nm

Continuous Emission (CW)

Anti-Inflammatory & Anti-Oedema

The 808 nm wavelength is emitted in continuous wave mode. It penetrates deeply into soft tissues (tendons, ligaments, muscles, joint capsule) and acts primarily on inflammatory mediators. It suppresses the production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) — the key biochemical drivers of tissue inflammation. The continuous emission also triggers vasodilation and enhanced microcirculation, accelerating the removal of inflammatory metabolites from injured tissue.

905 nm

Pulsed Emission (PW)

Analgesic — Rapid Pain Relief

The 905 nm wavelength is emitted in pulsed mode, allowing deeper tissue penetration with lower thermal risk. It exerts its primary analgesic effect through two mechanisms: first, it stimulates the release of endogenous opioids (β-endorphin, enkephalins) at the spinal cord level, raising the pain threshold; second, it acts on free nerve endings, reducing the speed of pain signal transmission along C and Aδ fibres. Patients frequently report significant pain reduction from the very first session.

808 nm resolves inflammation · 905 nm eliminates pain · Emitted simultaneously = synergistic healing at every pulse

Science of Healing

How Photobiomodulation Works

MLS® laser therapy works through photobiomodulation (PBM) — the use of specific wavelengths of light to trigger measurable biological responses in cells and tissues.

Mitochondrial Activation & ATP Production

Laser photons are absorbed by cytochrome c oxidase (CCO) in the mitochondrial electron transport chain. This interaction dissociates nitric oxide from CCO, restoring oxygen metabolism and dramatically increasing ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production — the primary fuel for all cellular repair processes. Injured cells, which are in a state of metabolic stress, respond most strongly to this stimulus.

Tissue Repair & Collagen Synthesis

The energy boost from ATP upregulates fibroblast proliferation and protein synthesis. Fibroblasts produce collagen — the structural scaffold for all connective tissue (tendons, ligaments, cartilage, skin). MLS® therapy accelerates the organised deposition of collagen fibres along stress lines, producing mechanically superior scar tissue and faster functional recovery compared to natural healing alone.

Inflammation Resolution

MLS® actively resolves inflammation rather than simply masking it. By modulating NF-κB signalling pathways and reducing prostaglandin synthesis, the laser converts chronic, unresolved inflammation into the regenerative phase of healing. This is particularly significant for chronic tendinopathies and osteoarthritis where persistent low-grade inflammation blocks tissue recovery.

Neovascularisation & Circulation

MLS® stimulates nitric oxide (NO) production in blood vessel walls, causing local vasodilation and increased microvascular blood flow. It also upregulates vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), promoting the formation of new capillaries (angiogenesis) in areas of healing tissue. This enhanced perfusion delivers oxygen, growth factors, and immune cells to the repair site, while clearing metabolic waste products.
