The Mizu Multifractional (MMF) Laser is a recent addition to the range of lasers offered at Mizu. It uniquely emits two laser wavelengths simultaneously, unlike regular lasers that emit only one wavelength at a time. It combines the non-ablative fractional power of 1550nm and 1927nm wavelengths, making it a versatile laser that targets multiple skin layers. This technology allows the laser to address various skin concerns, from minimising pores and reducing pigmentation to treating deeper issues like acne scarring.
Because the MMF Laser’s dual wavelengths treat surface-level concerns and penetrate deeper layers, it offers comprehensive skin maintenance, eliminating the need to do multiple lasers for the same result.
The Mizu Multifractional Laser operates using two key wavelengths:
At 1550nm wavelength:
This penetrates the deep (dermal) layer of the skin, using photothermolysis (using light energy to create heat to destroy unwanted cells or pigments). This repairs sun-damaged skin and target deeper pigmentation issues like lentigos (age spots), solar lentigos (sun spots), actinic keratosis, and melasma. Additionally, the heat generated by this wavelength stimulates collagen production and remodelling, effectively reducing fine lines, tightening pores, and improving acne scars.
At 1927nm wavelength:
This wavelength is also known as the BB laser which originates from South Korea. It targets the stratum corneum and epidermis, stimulating epidermal collagen and epidermal resurfacing (removing the outermost layer of dead skin cells). This helps achieve smoother skin texture and minimises the appearance of pores while reducing superficial pigmentation such as freckles and sun spots to give your complexion a BB cream-like finish. Removing the stratum corneum also helps stimulate skin renewal and improves product absorption, allowing post-treatment skincare to penetrate more effectively into the skin.
The MMF Laser effectively reverses visible signs of ageing by removing senescent cells—old, damaged skin cells that no longer renew themselves but cause inflammation and accelerate skin ageing. By targeting and eliminating these cells, the MMF Laser helps your skin look younger, promoting healthy cell turnover and preventing further age-related damage.
One of the benefits of the MMF Laser is how it prepares your skin to absorb topical products better. Removing the stratum corneum and creating microchannels in the skin enhances the penetration and effectiveness of post-laser products. For more significant results, adding exosomes—a potent serum rich in growth factors, peptides, coenzymes, minerals, amino acids, and vitamins—can further stimulate skin repair and regeneration. Numerous studies have indicated that exosomes play an important role in cell-to-cell communication, and exosomes from specific cell types and conditions display multiple functions such as exerting positive effects on cellular regeneration. These exosomes are delivered deep into the skin through cryoelectroporation, enhancing results to make your skin more radiant and youthful.
Before your MMF Laser treatment, a comprehensive Visia skin analysis will be conducted, followed by a consultation with a qualified doctor. A layer of numbing cream will be applied to minimise discomfort during the procedure. The laser procedure typically lasts 20-25 minutes and has different settings tailored to address your specific skin concerns. Once the procedure is completed, a cold gel and light therapy may be applied to soothe any redness and promote healing.
