  • a device body configured to be handheld by a user;

    a radiation source supported in the device body;

    an automated scanning system configured to receive an input beam generated by the radiation source and scan the received input beam to provide a series of output beams for delivery to the skin to form a pattern of treatment spots on the skin;

    an application end at which the output beams are delivered to the skin, the application end configured to be manually moved across the surface of the skin during a treatment session; and

    a displacement control system including;

    a displacement sensor configured to determine a displacement of the device relative to the skin; and

    electronics configured to control at least one operational parameter of the device based on the determined displacement of the device relative to the skin.
