Abstract
A laser treatment apparatus for performing treatment on a treatment part of a skin by irradiating the part with a laser beam for treatment is disclosed. The apparatus includes a laser output device which outputs the treatment beam; a hand-piece provided with at least a part of an irradiation optical system for irradiating the treatment beam of a predetermined spot size, the hand-piece being held in contact with the skin; a detector which detects a moved position of the hand-piece on the skin; and a controller which controls an ON/OFF state of laser irradiation based on the moved position detected by the detector and information on the spot size.

A laser treatment apparatus for performing treatment on a treatment part of a skin by irradiating the part with a laser beam for treatment, the apparatus including:
- laser output means which outputs the treatment beam;
- a hand-piece provided with at least a part of an irradiation optical system for irradiating the treatment beam of a predetermined spot size, the hand-piece being held in contact with the skin;
- detection means which detects a moved position of the hand-piece on the skin;
- and
- control means which controls an ON/OFF state of laser irradiation based on the moved position detected by the detection means and information on the spot size.
A laser treatment apparatus for performing treatment on a treatment part of a skin by irradiating the part with a laser beam for treatment, the apparatus including:
- a treatment laser beam output device;
- a hand-piece provided with a main part having at least a part of an irradiation optical system for irradiating the treatment beam of a predetermined spot size and a support part which is held in contact with the skin for supporting the main part above the skin;
- a rolling member provided in a side of the support part which is brought into contact with the skin;
- a rotation sensor for sensing a direction and amount of rotation of the rolling member;
- and
- a controller which detects a direction and amount of movement of the hand-piece on the skin based on the rotation direction and the rotation amount detected by the rotation sensor, and controls an ON/OFF state of laser irradiation based on the detected moved-position and information on the spot size.
