Zusammenfassung:An energy-based dermatological treatment system includes a temperature sensor for obtaining a first temperature measurement associated with a first treatment area. The system also includes a processing module for receiving the first temperature measurement and generate a temperature map based on the first temperature measurement. The system further includes a control module for setting a parameter of a first treatment pulse based on the first temperature map, and an energy source configured to deliver the first treatment pulse to the first treatment area. In an embodiment, the first temperature sensor is a contactless temperature sensor. In another embodiment, a second temperature measurement of a second treatment area to generate an updated temperature map based on the first and second temperature measurements. A parameter of a second treatment pulse is set according to the updated temperature map, and the second treatment pulse is delivered to the second treatment area.
