Multisource platform eliminates the need for individual laser and IPL devices

Jaime Piquero-Casals, MD, PhD, a board-certified dermatologist and owner of Clínic Dermacentric Health and Aesthetics in Barcelona, Spain, overcame many of the challenges of having to decide among too many aesthetic light- and energy-based options by purchasing all the technologies he needed to treat his patients in one platform.

The MTONE EVO platform from Medical and Technology (M&T) (Rimini, Italy) is a highly versatile, state-of-the-art system for aesthetic medicine. It integrates advanced IPL technologies and multiple latest-generation laser modules — Erbium:YAG, Nd:YAG, Er:Glass, Q-switched, and diode lasers — into a single device. Its modular architecture represents a future-proof investment, as it allows clinics to expand the platform over time by integrating new technologies and modules as the practice grows.

“I wanted a versatile, multi-technology platform that could address a wide range of aesthetic and dermatologic concerns in one device,” Dr. Piquero-Casals said. “[MTONE EVO allows] me to offer both ablative and non-ablative rejuvenation, hair removal, pigmentation treatments, tattoo removal, and vascular/rosacea treatments without needing multiple standalone systems.”

Matteo Auriemma, MD, PhD, a dermatologist who practices in Cappelle Sul Tavo, in Italy’s Pescara Province, said his decision to integrate the MTONE EVO was driven by the platform’s construction, reliability, and effectiveness, as well as the ability to have multiple sources in a single device.

“Having multiple sources in a single device allows for reduced maintenance, a smaller footprint, and a faster daily workflow,” Dr. Auriemma said.

Dr. Piquero-Casals uses the space-saving platform daily for multiple indications.

“I use the Er:YAG for ablative facial rejuvenation, resurfacing, scars, and keratoses. The diode laser is used for hair removal in different skin types. The Q-Switch is used for lentigines, pigmentary lesions, and tattoo removal. The Er:Glass 1550 is used for non-ablative fractional rejuvenation, improving texture, fine lines, and pores without visible desquamation. Finally, the IPL is especially useful for rosacea, erythema, telangiectasias, and pink tones,” he told The Aesthetic Guide. “I customize treatments for adult patients based on their skin type, concern, and downtime tolerance.”

Patients benefit from comprehensive care in one place, with more personalized and natural results. Providers benefit from better ROI, streamlined training, and the ability to adapt to different patient demands, Dr. Piquero-Casals added.

MTONE EVO has positively impacted both dermatologists’ practice revenue.

The revenue boost from MTONE EVO came from Dr. Auriemma improving treatment efficacy, which led to better patient-perceived quality of care. The resulting increase in the range of treatable conditions has elevated his reputation, he said.

“Having this platform has expanded our treatment menu, increased patient volume, and improved revenue per patient. There is less upkeep compared to maintaining several separate devices, and it takes up less space in the clinic. It also streamlines staff training and makes marketing easier because we can promote a comprehensive aesthetic platform,” Dr. Piquero-Casals said.
