The system also comprises a timed pedal assembly with an electronic control unit associated with a timed pedal meant to compensate the delay time (t.sub.r) of the mechanical shutter and add it to the programmed emission time on the skin (t.sub.p), thereby compensating said delay time (t.sub.r) and allowing to obtain compensated laser beam pulses (t.sub.c), as well as incorporating a timed module to allow obtaining the required laser beam pulse times of 0.1 to 5 s.
TATTOO REMOVAL USING IRRADIATION AND FLUID EXTRACTION
Methods and systems are disclosed for removing a tattoo from a subject's skin by application of radiation to a target region of a subject's tattooed dermis, mobilization of tattoo ink particles, and extraction of the tattoo ink particles from the tattooed dermis. In certain embodiments, the invention can further include induction of a plasma, e.g., a cold atmospheric plasma, at the target region to assist in the degradation, dislodgement and/or mobilization of the tattoo ink particles.
Light based skin treatment device
A light based skin treatment device comprises a laser light source for providing a pulsed incident light beam for treating skin by laser induced optical breakdown of hair or skin tissue. In one arrangement, a focusing system has a pre-focusing lens for increasing the convergence of the an incident light beam and a skin contact lens having convex light input and light exit surfaces. The focal spot position is controlled by adjusting a spacing between the pre-focusing lens and the skin contact lens. In another arrangement, there is an adjustable lens system before an adjustable focusing system for providing compensation for aberration in the focusing system.
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SELECTIVE TREATMENT OF BIOLOGICAL TISSUE
An exemplary treatment system can be provided which can include a laser system configured to emit at least one laser beam, and an optical system configured to focus the laser beam(s) to a focal region at a selected distance from a surface of a tissue. The focal region can be configured to illuminate at least a portion of a target.

DEPILATOR
The present disclosure discloses a depilator including a head portion and a hand-held portion. The head portion includes a cold compressing portion and an illuminating portion. The illuminating portion is configured for emitting light for caring for a skin of a user. The hand-held portion includes a hair removal device, a heat conducting portion and a cool driving portion. The hair removal device emits light to the cold compressing portion. The heat conducting portion absorbs heat of the cold compressing portion. The cool driving portion drives the external cooling medium to take away the heat of the heat conducting portion. The cold compressing portion emits light to irradiate the hair follicles of the skin of the user, and uses the light to penetrate the skin to irradiate the hair follicles for hair removal. Therefore, the hair device has both functions of hair removal and skin care.
