A DEVICE FOR DERMATOLOGICAL TREATMENT USING LIGHT

摘要

The present invention relates to a device (1) for optical treatment of human skin, comprising a housing (2) with a radiation source (4), an emission window (8) and a treatment fluid container (10, 26) with a release opening (16, 32). The device further comprises a fluid applicator (20, 22), which applies a controlled amount of treatment fluid (12) onto the skin, close to the emission window (8). The amount may be controllable, e.g. through use of a valve (18, 34). The device will reliably apply treatment fluid close to the skin that is (being) treated. This ensures that the skin receives a correct amount of fluid, and may also allow a visual check on whether or not a part of the skin has been treated. This is important for treatments that do not give immediate results, but may damage the skin by an overdose of radiation. Examples are photodepilation and photorejuvenation.
