There is provided a process for treatment of rhinitis by diode laser ablation of the branches of the posterior nasal nerve. The diode laser delivery device with elongated fiber optic with its fiber tip is inserted through a patient's nostril and has the length, flexibility and a curvature to reach both above and under the patient's middle turbinate for treatment of both branches of the posterior nasal nerves. Skin and tissue temperature is raised to approximately 60-70° C. with the process. A control knob on the laser delivery device moves from a first to a second position to move a camera attached to the laser delivery device. The fiber optic includes a distal fiber tip extending from a malleable sheath connected to the body for delivering light energy to a treatment area.

The invention provides a tip that permits therapeutic electromagnetic energy systems to deliver multiple beams of overlapping, partially overlapping, and non-overlapping electromagnetic energy in the treatment of tissue disorders and conditions. The tip finds use with laser systems, intense pulsed light systems, LED systems, radiofrequency systems, and microwave systems.

A portable hair-removal apparatus (1) is provided, which includes an air-suction mechanism (10). The air-suction mechanism (10) includes a heat-generating assembly (101) and a heat-dissipation housing (102). The heat-dissipation housing (102) is provided with an air outlet (1021). The heat-generating assembly (101) is connected to the heat-dissipation housing (102) and defines at least one air inlet (1022). External air is sucked into the heat-dissipation housing (102) via the air inlet (1022), flows through the heat-generating assembly (101) to reduce the temperature thereof, and is discharged via the air outlet (1021). A short-range air-passing channel is formed by means of the cooperation of multiple components, such that the heat dissipation performance is improved, the size is further reduced by simplifying the internal structure and the portability is improved.
