Abstract:
1. A method of irradiating human tissue with light, comprising sequentially irradiating each of a multiplicity of sites on said tissue, successive sites being selected to (a) avoid the irradiation of a site previously irradiated in the current treatment, to avoid multiple irradiations of the same site in the same treatment, and (b) avoid the irradiation of any site adjacent a site just irradiated by the preceding irradiation, with at least one optical pulse having a temporal shape that varies in amplitude from a leading peak that is shaped temporally to initiate non-linear absorption by the skin tissue, to a tail with a lower amplitude, and is selected for a predetermined dermatological treatment from multiple temporal pulse shapes for different dermatological treatments, said multiple temporal pulse shapes varying in amplitude.
