Abstract: The invention relates to a device for heat treatment of tissue. The device comprises a laser (20) provided with means enabling it to emit laser radiation in the form of a sufficient number of pulses to deliver a total energy that provides the heat treatment of the tissues, the device being characterized in that it includes means (30, 40) for adjusting the number and the duration of the pulses, said means enabling at least two pulse sequence groups to be emitted: a first pulse sequence group delivering about 70% to 80% of the total energy, and a second pulse sequence group delivering 30% to 20% of the total energy. The invention makes it possible to shorten the total time required for heat treatment of tissues.

Abstract: A laser apparatus comprising a resonant cavity, which comprises an assembly of two different reflectors and inside which is disposed an active medium capable of generating a radiation under the action of excitation means connected to said active medium. In addition, the apparatus comprises at least one supplementary resonant cavity of structure, similar to the preceding one, comprising an assembly of two different reflectors, and means for controlling the displacement of said resonant cavities making it possible to bring one or the other of said cavities coaxially into alingment with said active medium.
