DERMATOLOGICAL PICOSECOND LASER TREATMENT SYSTEMS AND METHODS USING OPTICAL PARAMETRIC OSCILLATOR

Abstract:

Dermatological systems and methods for providing a picosecond laser treatment a plurality of treatment wavelengths, at least one of which is provide by an optical parametric oscillator (OPO) capable of providing picosecond laser pulses at a wavelength in the red region of the visible electromagnetic spectrum for treating one or more target tissue types. In some embodiments, the OPO is capable of providing picosecond laser pulses at a wavelength in one of the near-infrared and the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum.
