In the context of tissue interaction, what is one advantage of ISP compared to continuous wave?

The advantage of ISP (intermittent spur pulse) compared to continuous wave lies in its ability to deliver more light energy while preventing overheating of the skin surface. In ISP, the light is delivered in short bursts rather than a constant stream, allowing tissues to dissipate heat between pulses. This intermittent delivery helps in maintaining a safe temperature at the skin level, which is crucial during therapeutic applications, particularly in areas where there may be sensitivities or the potential for heat-related injuries. By avoiding prolonged exposure to heat, ISP can enhance treatment efficacy while safeguarding patient comfort and safety.
