20. A handheld self-contained laser device, comprising:
-
a laser control circuit and a plurality of discrete laser sources; a first laser source positioned to provide laser energy to a first focal point; a second laser source positioned to provide laser energy to a second focal point; wherein at least a portion of the laser energy from the first laser source and at least a portion of the laser energy from the second laser source overlap; the laser control circuit configured to cause at least a subset of the laser sources to generate laser energy in accordance with at least one predetermined pulsing interval; and wherein the at least one pulsing interval is selected to reduce current draw by the laser sources, and to facilitate a resonance response within an area of contact within the treatment region. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 34)

31. A method of providing laser energy to a treatment region comprising:
-
directing laser energy from a plurality of laser sources onto a treatment region from a plurality of directions; pulsing at least a subset of the laser sources according to at least one pulsing interval; directing laser energy from at least a subset of the plurality of laser sources onto substantially the same portion of the treatment region; and reinforcing laser energy from a first direction by directing laser energy from a second direction, thereby increasing the energy provided to a treatment region. - View Dependent Claims (32, 33, 35, 36)
