SKIN SURFACE PEELING PROCESS USING LASER

摘要

The present invention provides an apparatus for the removal of epidermal skin cells of corneum stratum on a section of human skin, the apparatus including : a) a light absorbing contaminant capable of infiltrating into the corneum stratum cells when applied to the skin and having a high absorption at at least one frequeny band of light ; and b) an illumination source in spaced apart relation to the contaminant when applied to a section of human skin for illuminating a surface of the section of human skin and the contaminant with pulses of light having sufficient energy to cause the tearing off of the superficial epidermal skin cells of corneum stratum.
