We chat with Matt Moncrieff, Managing Director of High Tech Medical, to explore how Deka’s family of lasers has reshaped treatment protocols, expanded clinical possibilities and set new standards in aesthetic practice.
With a 40-year legacy of engineering excellence and clinical precision, DEKA has earned the trust of practitioners worldwide, across surgical, dermatological and aesthetic applications. The Italian manufacturer has built a reputation for delivering reliable, results-driven laser technologies that continue to evolve alongside practitioner and patient needs.
From skin resurfacing and rejuvenation to pigment clearance, vascular treatments, hair reduction and body contouring, DEKA’s platforms are engineered to adapt across a broad range of indications and practice types. What sets them apart is a consistent focus on innovation, clinical utility, device longevity and precision performance; qualities that make DEKA a true leader in aesthetic energy-based technology.
Now, with an expanded ANZ portfolio that includes the Tetra PRO, RedTouch PRO, Again PRO, Onda PRO and the newly released Toro, DEKA continues to strengthen its presence in clinics seeking robust, reliable platforms without the overhead of consumables.
To explore what sets DEKA apart, we speak with Matt Moncrieff, Managing Director of High Tech Medical and exclusive distributor of DEKA in Australia and New Zealand.
The Toro offers an incredibly competitive price point, no consumables, three wavelengths and both picosecond and nanosecond pulses.
DEKA is known for innovation. What keeps the company ahead of the curve?
From the first long-pulsed Nd:YAG for hair removal in 1997, SmartLipo in 2005, fractional CO2 in 2007, MonaLisa Touch in 2011, Onda in 2017 and RedTouch PRO in 2023, DEKA have repeatedly proven they are capable of developing technological innovations that allow practitioners to offer their patients less invasive and more effective treatments across a wide range of clinical applications.
What makes a DEKA device stand the test of time – not just clinically, but commercially?
DEKA is a world-class design and engineering company with more than 40 years’ experience in manufacturing lasers and other energy-based technologies. Globally, DEKA devices are renowned for their clinical- effectiveness, reliability and cost-effectiveness.
From your vantage point, how has the role of energy-based devices changed in Australian and New Zealand aesthetic clinics over the past decade?
It is now a must for any legitimate aesthetic business to have energy-based devices as part of their treatment offering. As a consequence of this, it is vital that clinic owners choose devices that can provide meaningful results and perform treatments that their patients are requesting. DEKA have many different devices in their portfolio that cover almost all of the applications needed in an aesthetic medicine practice.
DEKA’s latest laser technology is Toro, which combines both picosecond and nanosecond technology.
What clinical and market opportunities does this new technology open up?
The Toro offers an incredibly competitive price point, no consumables, three wavelengths and both picosecond and nanosecond pulses. With the backing of a quality manufacturer like DEKA, Toro offers a wide range of applications and is suitable for almost every type of aesthetic clinic.
What kind of feedback do you hear most often from clinics using DEKA systems?
We have been DEKA’s distribution partner in Australia and New Zealand for more than 24 years. Since then, over and over we have heard how satisfied clinicians are with the clinical outcomes they can achieve, the reliability of the DEKA devices and the fact that they are not paying for treatment consumables, which are often a significant cost when using other brands of devices.
What does the long-standing partnership between High Tech Medical and DEKA mean for aesthetic practitioners?
High Tech Medical and DEKA are truly partners in providing world-class and innovative technologies to aesthetic practitioners across Australia and New Zealand. We are committed to working with our clients to help them provide outstanding clinical outcomes for their patients and supporting them to increase both their profitability and the long-term success of their businesses.

Toro: A new generation of pigment and rejuvenation laser technology
DEKA’s latest laser innovation, Toro, merges picosecond and nanosecond pulse capabilities in a single device, delivering clinical flexibility across three wavelengths: 785nm, 532nm and 1064nm. This multi-wavelength design opens up an advanced treatment spectrum for pigmentation, melasma, tattoo removal and overall skin revitalisation – without any consumables.
Toro allows clinicians to finely customise treatments for depth, chromophore targeting and patient comfort. Built for results and reliability and at an attractive price-point, it’s a future-facing option that makes high- performance pigment correction more accessible for a wider range of clinics.
