Abstract

Pulsed laser has been widely used in the clinical treatment of various diseases and injuries due to its unique advantages in the process of interaction with skin tissue. In order to ensure the therapeutic effect and patient safety, it is necessary to accurately monitor the time-space response of the whole-field temperature of the target tissue irradiated by pulsed laser. A research strategy to explore the thermal response and incidental thermal damage of skin tissue induced by repeated pulses laser has been proposed in present work. A theoretical model involved variable physical properties was first proposed, in which the dual-phase lag (DPL) equation and Henrique burn equation were employed to evaluate the tissue temperature and thermal damage induced by repeated pulse laser irradiation. With the help of finite difference method, the governing equation with variable physical properties was then numerical solved to obtain the time-space distribution of tissue temperature, and the evolution process of the thermal damage was further calculated. The effects of laser input parameters and variable physical parameters on the laser penetration depth, temperature distribution and burn degree of the irradiated tissue were analyzed.
