Patent number: 8915948Abstract: The present invention provides method and apparatus for treating tissue in a region at depth by applying optical radiation thereto of a wavelength able to reach the depth of the region and of a selected relatively low power for a duration sufficient for the radiation to effect the desired treatment while concurrently cooling tissue above the selected region to protect such tissue. Treatment may be enhanced by applying mechanical, acoustic or electrical stimulation to the region.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2008Date of Patent: December 23, 2014Assignees: Palomar Medical Technologies, LLC, The General Hospital CorporationInventors: Gregory B.

Publication number: 20110184334Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for phototreatment in which replaceable containers comprising one or more adjuvant (consumable or re-usable) substances are employed. The adjuvant substance can be, for example, a topical substance or a coolant. Systems are disclosed for using a topical substance to detect contact of a phototreatment device with a tissue, detect speed of a phototreatment device over the tissue, detect regions of tissue that have been treated by a phototreatment device and/or to provide other benefits to the tissue such as improved skin tone and texture, tanning, etc. Safety systems are also disclosed that ensure that a proper consumable substance and/or container is connected to a phototreatment device and/or directed to a proper target. Additionally, cooling systems and methods that utilize phase change materials for extracting heat from a light generating device are disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 29, 2011Publication date: July 28, 2011Applicant: PALOMAR MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Gregory B. Altshuler, Ilya Yaroslavsky, James Burke, III, Andrei V. Erofeev, Henry H. Zenzie, Robert R. Lopez, Christopher Gaal
