    摘要: The invention relates generally to the treatment of skin using laser light, and more particularly to a non-invasive device and method for such treatment. During skin treatments, heating of the epidermis is undesired because it may cause discomfort for the person being treated, adverse skin reactions and unwanted changes in skin pigment. The invention provides a laser treatment beam having a first 22a and a second 22b beam region of non-zero light intensity disposed at a periphery of a transverse cross-section of the beam, and a third beam region 22c, arranged between the first 22a and the second 22b beam region, of lower light intensity than said non-zero light intensity. The treatment beam 22 exits the device 10 along its optical treatment axis 13. As the treatment beam 22 passes through an outer layer of the skin to the focal spot 25 along the optical treatment axis (13), the extent of the third beam region 22c is predetermined and/or controlled so as to provide a corresponding third skin region 23c in the outer skin layer 16, arranged between the first 23a and the second skin region 23b, and the lower light intensity of the third beam region is predetermined and/or controlled to provide a maximum temperature during a pulse of the laser treatment beam with in the third skin region 23c which is lower than the maximum temperatures during said pulse of the laser treatment beam within the first 23a and the second 23b skin region. The light source 20 is configured and arranged to provide, in use, a pulse duration of the pulse of the laser treatment beam which is longer than the thermal relaxation time of the first 23a and the second 23b skin region. By predetermining and/or controlling the dimensions of the third skin region 23c, a suitably dimensioned heat sink is created, centrally located within the region being heated by the laser treatment beam, and used to avoid temperature hot spots in the outer layers of the skin.

    摘要: The invention relates to a device (100) for RF skin treatment, comprising an active electrode (1) arranged on an operational side (15) of the device and having a first skin contact surface for contact with a skin of a user, which first skin contact surface has a largest cross-sectional dimension smaller than or equal to 2 mm. The device comprises a return electrode (2) arranged on the operational side (15) of the device and having a second skin contact surface for contact with the skin of the user, wherein an area of the second skin contact surface is at least five times larger than an area of the first skin contact surface. An RF generator (21) is arranged to supply an RF treatment voltage between the active electrode (1) and the return electrode (2) so as to heat a skin region below the active electrode, wherein the RF treatment voltage has a frequency in a range of 100 MHz-3 GHz. By using a frequency of the RF treatment voltage in said range, a depth of thermal lesions voltage is considerably increased as compared to RF skin treatment devices using a comparable RF treatment voltage, but at a much lower frequency.

The indenter is configured and constructed for generating, in a cross-section of the aperture taken along the optical axis and along a cross-section direction wherein the aperture has a width dimension, a maximally curved protrusion of skin tissue freely protruding through the aperture towards the optical system by pressing the indenter against the skin surface of a specific skin type with a pressure exceeding a predefined pressure, a skin surface of said maximally curved protrusion having a radius of curvature (RC) at an intersection with the optical axis. The optical system is configured and constructed for generating a focused beam of the treatment light having, in said cross-section of the aperture at said intersection, a wave front with a radius of curvature ranging between 75% and 125% of said radius of curvature (RC) of the skin surface of said maximally curved protrusion.

The treatment device further comprises a treatment generator (80) comprising a treatment laser (20) for emitting laser light (21) towards skin tissue (110) from said plurality of predefined locations (74) in the emission window (70) for generating, in use, laser-based lesions (120) inside the skin tissue (110). The treatment device further comprises a motion sensor (90) for sensing motion of the treatment device relative to the skin surface (105) and a controller (60) for determining a non-zero sequence of at least one of the plurality of predefined locations in the emission window from which laser light is consecutively emitted in dependence on the sensed motion. The controller is configured to activate the treatment generator to generate said non-zero sequence when the sensed motion of the treatment device relative to the skin surface only has a component in a direction parallel to the treatment axis.
