Existing treatments, including electrocautery [1] radiofrequency ablation [2] and laser ablation [3-6] are time consuming and may lead to scarring.Some ablative lasers enable treatment at timed exposure settings. At these settings light emission is limited to a pre-set interval of 50-200 ms. A fixed number of microsecond range pulses is delivered, minimizing [...]
