Abstract

See full text

Disclosed is a handheld, cordless, self-contained dermatological device for localized repigmentation of skin which includes a housing configured for gripping by a person's hand, a battery in the housing, a source in the housing and which is capable of emitting electromagnetic radiation in a band from 320 nm to 400 mn, a control circuit in the housing, and an aperture in the housing. The aperture is configured, and the control circuit controls the coupling of the battery to the source, so that a fluence of electromagnetic radiation of one-tenth of a minimum erythemic dose (MED) of skin is delivered at the aperture in less than about 10 seconds. Methods for configuring and for using the disclosed apparatus are described.
