MLS® M-Hi
Discover the MLS® M-Hi
The (r)evolution of MLS®.
The M-Hi from ASA couples the renowned dual wavelength delivery of MLS® with the high peak power of 270W. With an average power of 3.6W the M-Hi offers a safe, intuitive and effective treatment option.
No more struggling with complicated equipment or wasting time on cumbersome setups. The user-friendly M-Hi has been designed and manufactured in Italy, with clinicians like you in mind.

#AIM-HiGHER
Efficient.
Patented technology, scientifically and clinically validated.
- M-Hi is efficient in run-time and over time, thanks to advanced internal sensors that ensure durability and stability.
- With +100 scientific publications and +20,000 devices installed all around the world, the patented MLS® Laser Therapy is scientifically and clinically proven.
Safe.
Reliability in your hands.
- M-Hi inherits the mechanisms of action of MLS®, evolving its technological features while delivering validated state-of-the-art protocols.
- Applying the most powerful protocol (es. osteoarthritis) in both Point-by-Point and Scan modality, M-Hi delivers the right energy mix to the target tissues through a pleasant feeling: always far from reaching the thermal damage threshold.
Versatile.
Suitable to all clinical environments and methods, for an intensive daily use.
- Lightweight: ergonomic, easy to handle and to operate, M-Hi is always at your side.
- Cordless: thanks to its interchangeable batteries, M-Hi ensures hours of treatments and freedom of movement.
- Long lasting & High performing battery: M-Hi covers the entire working day without the need for recharging (at least 20 patients per day, for an average of 10min per patient).
Adaptive.
Focus on your patients: M-Hi automatically adapts the protocols to your needs.
Thanks to the patented system of automatic lens recognition and parameters adjustment, M-Hi adapts the protocol to ensure the desired dosage values. The tissue-targeted protocols available for all body districts are extremely easy to follow: let them guide you to immediate results.
Accurate.
No more guesswork: track the dose, objectify your therapy and replicate the results.
Dosage (J/cm2): Track the energy delivered per unit of treatment surface (J/cm2).
Evidence-based Medicine.
Safety and effectiveness of MLS® Laser Therapy are constantly proven at ASAcampus, the Joint Laboratory between ASA Research division and the Department of Biomedical and Clinical Experimental Science at the University of Florence – Italy, directed by Dr. Monica Monici.
