  • Patent number: 7985219
    Abstract: An irradiation device (1) and a method for the treatment of acne and acne scars, comprising at least one source of radiation (2), the source of radiation emitting at least one broadband spectrum in the wavelength range of 320-at least 540 nm and the radiation source (2) being pulseoperable and/or movable relatively to the area to be irradiated, the pulse energy being between 0.05-10 J/cm2 and the peak irradiation intensity being between 0.5 W/cm2 and 100 kW/cm2.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 8, 2002
    Date of Patent: July 26, 2011
    Assignee: Spectrometric Optoelectronic Systems GmbH
    Inventors: Jan Hennrik Wilkens, Rolf Stirner
  • Patent number: 6902563
    Abstract: The invention relates to an irradiation device and method for the treatment of totally or partially cell-mediated inflammations of the skin, the connective tissue and the viscera, viral and other infectious diseases such as HIV and prionic infections, fungal infections of the skin and the mucous membranes, bacterial diseases of the skin and the mucous membranes as well hand eczema and anal eczema which comprises at least one irradiation device to irradiate a surface treatment area where the wavelength of the emitted radiation to a treatment area is longer than 400 nm and comprises at least one spectral band between 400-500 nm while the radiation device contains means for the generation of optical pulses towards a treatment area with a power density of the optical pulse peaks larger than 0.5 W/cm2 and smaller than 100 kW/cm2. The energy of one pulse relates to 0.05-10 J/cm2.
