Zusammenfassung:In an intense pulsed light optical radiation is directed from a lamp 9 to a skin treatment surface to provide cosmetic and/or therapeutic treatment. The condition of the lamp is determined on the basis of a variation of electrical characteristic as it ages, rather then by measuring the light output. The electrical energy applied to the lamp 9 is controlled to compensate for varying electrical characteristics of the bulb as it ages. Furthermore, the device includes an end of life assessment which is based on the electrical characteristic of the bulb 9 rather than simply a cycle count.
