Abstract

An intense pulse light (IPL) device includes a flash lamp and a light guide for guiding light from the flash lamp to an area to be treated. The flash lamp includes an anode electrode and a cathode electrode, and an envelope defining a cavity. A reflector reflects light from the flash lamp to the area to be treated. At least one electrode protector has a reflecting surface that redirects light from the electrodes toward a center of the reflector.
