Claim 0:
1. A photo-thermal targeted treatment system for damaging a target embedded in a medium, the system including
a controller;
a photo-thermal treatment unit including a laser; and
a cooling unit;
wherein the controller is configured for administering a treatment protocol,
wherein the treatment protocol is administered using the laser at a preset power setting and a preset pulse timing setting;
wherein the treatment protocol includes
a pre-conditioning procedure for preheating the target and the medium, and a photo-thermal treatment procedure, wherein the pre-conditioning procedure and the photo-thermal treatment procedure are both administered using the laser, without changing the preset power setting and the preset pulse timing setting between the pre-conditioning procedure and the photo-thermal treatment procedure, and
a cooling procedure for cooling the medium while administering both the pre-conditioning procedure and the photo-thermal treatment procedure of the treatment protocol,

wherein, while administering the treatment protocol, the laser is set to emit a series of light pulses at a preset power level, preset pulse length, and preset interval between consecutive pulses, and wherein each pulse of said series of light pulses comprise a flat top pulse; and
wherein the treatment protocol includes application of the light pulses in a scanned fashion over a preset area.
