Abstract
The present invention relates to a dermatological treatment apparatus. Such dermatological treatments include but are not limited to hair removal, treatment of acne and lesions and also skin rejuvenation. The apparatus comprises a housing; a light emitting source provided in the housing arranged to emit light energy along an energy pathway to external of the device; and a filter arrangement positioned in the energy pathway having at least a first and a second light energy filtering portion together combining to span across the energy pathway for filtering the light energy passing to external of the device.

A light emitting apparatus for providing dermatological treatment comprising:
- a housing;
- a light emitting source provided in the housing and configured to emit light energy along an energy pathway to external of the apparatus;
- and
- a filter arrangement retained in a fixed position in the housing and comprising at least a first and a second light energy filtering portion positioned in a side by side configuration;
- wherein each of the at least first and second light energy filtering portions comprise opposing edge portions that face each other and abut;
- wherein the at least first and second light energy filtering portions together combine to span across the energy pathway;
- and
- wherein the at least first and second light energy filtering portions are configured to:
- filter the light energy passing to external of the apparatus;
- and
- emit the same spectral output.
