Method for treating skin with therapeutic laser light
A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230405355A1) outlines a method for treating a patient's skin using therapeutic laser light. The method involves imaging a specific skin area of the patient, processing the image to identify target and non-target areas, generating a treatment map based on this identification, displaying the map to a user, receiving user input, and treating the target skin area with therapeutic laser light while avoiding non-target areas. The process includes using a camera to capture images under different lighting conditions, utilizing a processor to identify lesion areas, classifying these areas by type, and determining laser treatment parameters such as fluence and pulse duration.
Furthermore, the method involves displaying the treatment map on a user interface, allowing users to interact by zooming in or out, confirming or changing lesion classifications, adjusting laser treatment parameters, and initiating the delivery of laser pulses. The treatment of target skin areas is carried out using a therapeutic laser light source, a movable optical element, and a controller to direct laser pulses accurately. The controller can automate the process after user authorization, directing laser pulses to desired portions of the target skin areas. The method emphasizes precision and customization in treating skin conditions with therapeutic laser light, offering a comprehensive approach to skin treatment based on detailed imaging and user input.
