“…The operational principle of skin photo-rejuvenation treatment is the thermal stimulation of collagen in the skin; laser energy absorbed by the chromophore in the skin tissue causes a gradual temperature increase in the irradiated region [26]. Fig.…”

“…T Here are two main ageing processes that affect a person's skin condition [1]. Ageing due to the biological clock, which is currently irreversible, and photo-ageing, which results from exposure to ultraviolet radiation coming from the sun; the latter is widely considered treatable to some extent [3], [26]. With the aim of "reversing" skin damage, in the past decades, people have turned to the so-called beauty clinics for receiving various types of noninvasive dermatological treatments.…”

In this paper, we present a novel robotic system for skin photo-rejuvenation, which uniformly delivers laser thermal stimulation to a subject's facial skin tissue. The robotised treatment is performed by a customised manipulator instrumented with a cosmetic laser generator, a depth sensor, and a thermal camera. To plan the optimal trajectory of the manipulator, our system computes the surface model of the face and segments it into seven regions, then automatically fills these regions with uniform laser irradiation. Finally, we report the detailed results of experiments on multiple human subjects to validate the performance of the system. To the best of the author's knowledge, this is the first time that facial skin rejuvenation has been automated by robot manipulators.

“…Skin photorejuvenation is a cosmetic treatment procedure in which a pulsed laser beam is irradiated over the skin surface to treat the effects of photo-ageing, wrinkles and pigmentation disorders. This technique is also increasingly used for hair and tattoo removal [1,2]. The spectrum of light used in this treatment ranges from infrared to ultraviolet [3][4][5].…”
