<p>A dermatological treatment platform is disclosed that incorporates an actively Q-switched laser and intense pulsed light source. The platform comprises: a power supply having an electrical energy source, a capacitive energy store for receiving energy from the energy source, a power outlet, and an electronically controlled switch that can selectively connect the energy store to the power outlet connection for delivery to a light source. The power supply further includes timing circuitry that can operate the electronically controlled switch and an optical switch within a device connected to the power supply. The capacitative energy source is charged in use to a potential suitable for operation of both the laser and the intense pulsed light source, typically less than 500V. Thus, a practitioner can offer both laser and intense pulsed light treatment without incurring the expense of two power supplies.
