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 window having an optical property of transmitting the treatment beam, the window being brought into contact with the skin for laser irradiation; a window cooling unit; a contact-state detector which detects a contact state of the window with the skin; and a controller which changes a cooling control temperature of the cooling unit from a predetermined first temperature which is previously set higher than 0° C. to a predetermined second temperature lower than the first temperature when the contact-state detector detects that the window is in contact with the skin.
Claims18
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 window having an optical property of transmitting the treatment beam, the window being brought into contact with the skin for laser irradiation;
- a window cooling unit;
- contact-state detecting means which detects a contact state of the window with the skin;
- and
- control means which changes a cooling control temperature of the cooling unit from a predetermined first temperature which is previously set higher than 0° C. to a predetermined second temperature lower than the first temperature when the contact-state detecting means detects that the window is in contact with the skin.
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 window having an optical property of transmitting the treatment beam, the window being brought into contact with the skin for laser irradiation;
- a window cooling unit;
- first input means which inputs an operation signal representing that preparation for laser irradiation is completed;
- and
- control means which changes a cooling control temperature of the cooling unit from a predetermined first temperature which is previously set higher than 0° C. to a predetermined second temperature lower than the first temperature when the operation signal is input by the first input means.
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 window having an optical property of transmitting the treatment beam, the window being brought into contact with the skin for laser irradiation;
- a window cooling unit;
- irradiation command signal input means which inputs a laser irradiation command signal;
- temperature change signal input means which inputs a temperature changing signal to change a cooling control temperature of the cooling unit from a predetermined first temperature higher than 0° C. to a predetermined second temperature lower than the first temperature;
- and
- control means which changes the cooling control temperature from the first temperature to the second temperature in response to the temperature changing signal input by the temperature change signal input means and returns the cooling control temperature to the first temperature when no irradiation command signal is input by the irradiation command signal input means within a predetermined waiting time after the cooling control temperature is changed to the second temperature.
