Patent number: 7635362Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for multipulse laser treatments on a spot target by using a CO2 laser system and a laser beam scanner attached at the end of the delivery system. The laser system is controlled to emit a laser macropulse consisting of a series of micropulses with pulse durations in the range of microseconds to a few milliseconds. The first group of pulses is delivered to cause minimal thermal damage to the peripheral area in the epidermis and dermis, while creating a pinhole epidermal window down into the dermis, through which the subsequent pulses, which are longer in pulse duration and lower in energy, deliberately create thermal diffusion through conducted heat to create thermal damage in the targeted area of the dermis.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2005Date of Patent: December 22, 2009Assignee: Lutronic CorporationInventors: Hae-Lyung Hwang, Glen Calderhead
