More Information
Summary:A therapeutic treatment device for treating a treatment region comprising an incoherent, pulsed, light source operable to provide a light output for treatment, a power supply connected to the light source, a housing including a reflector and having an opening, wherein the light source is disposed within the housing and the reflector reflects light from the light source to the opening. A flexible light guide is disposed between the opening and the treatment region, wherein the light guide receives the incoherent light from the light source and transmits the light to the treatment region and the light source, reflector and light guide cooperate to provide between 6 and 100 J/cm2 to the skin. The light guide transmits light having a predetermined angular divergence, wherein the divergence is selected in response to a desired treatment depth.
