Abstract:
1. An aesthetic treatment device for treating the skin of a patient, the device comprising: at least one of a plurality of arc lamps, each arc lamp provided with a reflector for obtaining a substantially collimated beam; a pulse generator for generating a train of pulses of electrical energy for energizing the at least one of a plurality of arc lamps; a control unit for controlling pulse shape, amplitude, width, frequency and timing, for obtaining controllable spectral output and energy of the collimated beam through an application end of the device to a designated area of the skin of the patient; at least one of a plurality of secondary light sources, each secondary light source for generating a light beam directed at the area of the skin, with spectral output that is different from spectral output of the at least one of a plurality of arc lamps, wherein the at least one of a plurality of secondary light source includes at least one laser diode; and a position feedback attachment attached to the application end of the device, the position feedback attachment comprising a position measurement component and a position output component, the position measurement component detecting movement of the device across the skin, the position output component determining when the detected movement reaches a predefined threshold and issuing an output signal.
