Methods and devices are disclosed for calibrating intensity of a light source in a system of evaluating a skin lesion using Elastic-Scattering Spectroscopy (ESS). The ESS system may illuminate a sample of the skin lesion with a pulse from the light source adjusted to a high output setting, receive a signal comprising an elastic scattering spectrum from illuminating the skin lesion sample at the high output setting, determine whether the received signal has an intensity that is greater than a saturation threshold associated with at least one optical detection sensor, and if so, store the elastic scattering spectrum from illuminating the skin lesion sample at the high output setting.
