APPARATUS AND METHOD OF TREATING PIGMENTED LESIONS USING PULSED IRRADIATION

摘要

A cutaneous pigmented lesion is treated by irradiation with laser light of between 345 and 600 nm and preferably about 500 nm wavelength. The fluence is between 1 and 10 J/Cm2 and preferably between 2 and 4 J/cm2 . The pulse duration is less than 1 mu sec and preferably less than 500 nsec. A 3 mm diameter spot is illuminated.
