A CONTINUOUS SKIN CONTACT HANDPIECE SYSTEM FOR COOLING DURING CONTROLLED EMISSION OF LIGHT AND A METHOD THEREOF

摘要

A skin contact handpiece system for cooling an internal light source and treated skin, during controlled emission of light from the source combines an internal air-cooled light source adapted to controllably emit light towards the treated skin while preserving the absorption characteristic of the emitted light and a liquid-cooled skin contact adapted to provide a painless dermal treatment and to prevent overheating of the treated skin by the light.
