A method is provided for cooling skin during irradiation treatment including thermally coupling a window to the skin and actively extracting heat from the window. The window may be transparent to therapeutic wavelengths transmitted to and through the window and to the skin below. An apparatus for therapeutic treatment of skin tissue is provided, including a source of electromagnetic radiation, a window transparent to the radiation coupled to the skin being treated to remove heat from the skin, coolant fluid coupled to the window to extract heat from the window, and a heat exchanger thermally coupled to the coolant to remove thermal energy from the coolant.

Méthode pour rafraîchir la peau pendant un traitement de radioexposition comprenant le couplage thermique d'une fenêtre à la peau et l'extraction active de la chaleur provenant de la fenêtre. La fenêtre peut être transparente aux longueurs d'onde thérapeutiques transmises à travers la fenêtre et à la peau en-dessous. On présente un appareil pour le traitement thérapeutique du tissu cutané, incluant une source de rayonnement électromagnétique, une fenêtre transparente au rayonnement couplée à la peau étant traitée pour retirer la chaleur de la peau, un fluide de refroidissement couplé à la fenêtre pour retirer la chaleur de la fenêtre et un échangeur de chaleur couplé de façon thermique au fluide de refroidissement pour en retirer l'énergie thermique.
