Abstract
The present invention relates to a light emitting device for providing dermatological treatment. The present invention comprises a housing structure for housing a light emitting source, a fan and a duct. The light emitting source is arranged to emit light energy to external of the device and the fan is configured for directing air heated by operation of the light emitting source into the duct. The duct is arranged to direct heated air in an airstream pathway from an outlet port of a distal end of the duct and through an aperture in the housing structure where the housing structure and the duct are relatively arranged such that no part of the housing structure extends into the air stream pathway in order to minimise heat exchange from the heated air to the housing structure.
