  • Patent number: 5336217
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process of treatment in the field of dermatology, for the treatment of cutaneous angio dysplasias, using the energy emitted by a laser source, as well as to an apparatus for the treatment of skin angiomas implementing the process. The apparatus includes a laser source suitable for supplying laser radiation, a treatment instrument for receiving the laser radiation from the source and whereby a plurality of consecutive laser shots is effected to form a plurality of resulting impacts on the area of the body to be treated. Following each shot, the area of the body thus treated has, at the resulting impact, at least a given relaxation time. The apparatus includes a support frame, an optical fiber disposed in the frame. The optical fiber has two ends, the first of the ends being suitable for connection to the laser source via the connecting means, the second end being mobile and suitable for generating a displaceable laser spot.

  • Patent number: 5330517
    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.
