Abstract

A skin treatment device for delivery of light energy pulses to a subject’s skin comprises a light source 22 for discharging light energy pulses to a subject’s skin; at least one sensor 58a-d for measuring a characteristic of the subject’s skin; a control system 28 (Figure 1c) for controlling discharge of the light energy pulses dependent upon the measured characteristic. The control system is configured to permit emission of a first energy pulse; obtain multiple sensor measurements from the at least one sensor during a time period after emission of the first energy pulse; determine a difference between values of the sensor measurements; and prevent emission of a second energy pulse unless the difference between values of the sensor measurements meets a predetermined difference threshold. A method of operating the skin treatment device is also disclosed.
