Why Multiplex (MPX)?
• Sequential firing of two gold standard wavelengths just 10ms apart
• 755nm Alex turns the oxyhemoglobin to methemoglobin in the targeted
blood vessel
• Methemoglobin has a higher optical absorption
• 1064nm Nd:YAG is now more efficiently absorbed (300-500% better
absorption)
• Blending in 755nm Alex allows for a reduction in the deeper
penetrating 1064nm Nd:YAG – a more comfortable treatment for your
patient
MPX for leg veins - considerations
• Skin types I-III
• Always do a test spot
• 755nm Alex FIRST followed by 1064nm Nd:YAG
• Integrated chiller on high (cool packs optional)
• 7mm spot size for optimal penetration
• 20-25J/cm2 of Alex and 40-60J/cm2 of YAG
• Pulse width 20-40ms
