From: Spatial temperature distribution in human hairy and glabrous skin after infrared CO2 laser radiation
The figure illustrates how the temperature is dispersed in hairy and glabrous skin following a 0.6 J/cm2 (5 W, 0.12 s) stimulation as a result of finite element modeling. The plots represent the time at stimulus offset (A, D - 0.12 s), 1.5 × stimulus duration (B, E - 0.18 s) 2 × stimulus duration (C, F - 0.24 s). The horizontal grey line represents the epidermal ridge (50 μm in hairy skin and 130 μm in glabrous skin).
