Abstract
Vascular blemishes are reduced by directing pulsed laser radiation to converge toward the blemishes in a plurality of directions, each beam of radiation being derived from a primary radiation source or from a separate radiation source, thereby to cause selective thermolysis of blood vessels in the blemishes.
Claims10
A blemish reducer, comprising:
- a laser source that produces a beam of laser radiation;
- and
- a focusing mechanism arranged to focus the beam to produce a linear pattern of focused laser radiation on a blemish, even when the beam is not being drawn across the blemish.
A method of thermolyzing and reducing a blemish comprising:
- providing a laser source that produces a beam of laser radiation;
- providing a focusing mechanism;
- and
- directing the beam of laser radiation towards the focusing mechanism to produce a linear pattern of focused laser radiation on the blemish, even when the beam is not being drawn across the blemish.
