Dermatological treatment device
First Claim
1. A window of a dermatological treatment device configured to transmit EMR from a source for generating EMR to tissue being treated, the window comprising:
- a pane configured to allow EMR to pass from the dermatological treatment device to the tissue being treated; and
at least one cooling channel extending across a portion of the pane, wherein the area of the channel is substantially less than the area of the pane.

Abstract
A device and method for utilizing optical radiation to treat tissue are described. In one aspect, the device is a dermatological treatment device. The device can be used, for example, for treatment of dermatological and cosmetic conditions. The device can include a sensor that indicates when the device is in contact with a subject'"'"'s tissue. Operation of the device can, in some instances, be partially or fully automated. The device can further include a light source that is air cooled and a cooling plate that is chilled preferably to 5° C. The device can also include a window that is enlarged to reduce the power density and facilitate heating of tissue at depth.
