Popis: In recent years, due to the effective achievements of IPL therapies such as treatment of spots, freckles, birthmarks, sunburn damage, vascular lesions, skin photorejuvenation, and hair and tattoo removal, IPL technology is of great interest especially in dermatology and aesthetic research. In this study, the temperature and optical power effects of an IPL therapy device on an artificial tissue were searched. Artificial tissues made of agar material were prepared to represent skins of two different color tones. The temperature measurement was performed via a thermocouple placed at a certain distance in the artificial tissue phantom. Optical power measurements were also taken from two different distances within the phantom. As a result of this study, it can be said that the IPL therapy device is safe and harmless for human use.
