Claim 17:
18. A method for automatically initiating a treatment protocol using a photo-thermal targeted treatment system, the method comprising:
administering a cooling mechanism at a treatment location;
monitoring a skin surface temperature at the treatment location; and
when the skin surface temperature reaches a preset threshold, automatically initiating the treatment protocol, wherein the treatment protocol comprises
using a laser to emit a series of light pulses at a preset power level, preset pulse length, and preset interval between consecutive pulses in a scanned fashion over a preset area, wherein each pulse of said series of light pulses comprise a flat top pulse, and
administering a pre-conditioning procedure for preheating the treatment location and administering 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.
