Abstract

See full text

A light based treatment method and apparatus for skin photorejuvenation of a target region of skin. The treatment method uses multiple wavelength bands of light or radiation. The ratio of the energies of the wavelength bands is selected according to a skin parameter, e.g., skin type, which can be differentiated by the amount of melanin in the skin and skin condition. The invention features, in one embodiment, a safe and effective method and apparatus for treating a full range of skin types with approximately the same fluence. In some embodiments the invention can also feature a blended wavelength with a first beam of radiation with a first energy and a second beam of radiation with a second energy delivered simultaneously or sequentially. The heating of the epidermis can be maintained approximately constant regardless of skin type, leading to safe treatments and a simple protocol for all skin types.
