FDA-approved, portable non-ablative fractional laser, MultiFrax, has brought forth one of the most significant advancements to laser engineering since its launch in 2025, as its the first laser capable of delivering two fractionated wavelengths simultaneously.

According to the company, its device integrates 1550nm and 1927nm wavelengths into a single system, enabling providers to simultaneously target deep dermal structures and superficial skin layers in a single treatment session. This dual-layer approach improves clinical outcomes while reducing recovery time compared to traditional ablative lasers. Distributed exclusively by MRP in the U.S, the company reports more than 100 device instalations in the U.S. alone.

The short recovery time allows the MultiFrax laser to be opperable in a high-traffic, consumer-facing setting, enabling a new category of treatment in environments and locations which may have not been an option for laser-based procedures in the past, aligning with a vision for expanding access and convenience for patients.
“The idea of devices becoming smaller and more portable is in its infancy, so medspas are just beginning to explore the new potential,” said Elodie Gourgeon, VP of Clinical tells MedEsthetics. “We are starting to see lasers being incorporated into Botox parties, concierge medicine, mobile med spas, and unique settings like Art of Aesthetics in the Salt Lake City Airport.”
That shift points to a broader evolution in aesthetics — one where treatments are no longer confined to a dedicated clinical room, but instead embedded into travel hubs, wellness spaces, and other high-traffic environments.
According to Gourgeon, this flexibility is still emerging, but the implications are significant: “The possibilities are endless, and it will be exciting to see what providers come up with in terms of ways to apply this new flexibility.”
Despite growing interest in nontraditional treatment environments, operational and safety constraints remain a key barrier.

“A major concern is safety; being able to put a device in a somewhat public environment and use it safely,” Dr. Mark Taylor of Art of Aesthetics practice, which is one of the first MedSpas to be located inside an international airportMedEsthetics. He also pointed to logistical limitations, including installation requirements, transport challenges, and the physical footprint of traditional laser systems.
“Lasers typically require detailed electrical requirements and significant amounts of floor space in a treatment room that is not always available,” Taylor noted.
MultiFrax is also redefining the business model of purchasing and using energy-based devices. Aesthetic practices can now offer advanced skin resurfacing procedures at a lower cost due to a ~90% decrease in associated cost per use.
This allows for a significant return on investment, reduced overhead and increased patient affordability, making high-performance skin treatments more accessible than ever. Scott Carson said this combination of cost efficiency and flexibility is accelerating adoption across the industry.
“When you combine a dramatic reduction in cost per treatment with the flexibility to deliver care anywhere, you’re not just improving a device; you’re redefining how aesthetic practices scale and grow,” he said.
