Abstract
The present article deals with a thermodynamic analysis of laser treatment on human skin. Replacing Pennes model of thermodynamics, a well defined memory dependent hyperbolic type thermoelastic heat conduction model is adopted. In order to analyse the thermal shock experienced by the skin layers, a bi-layer skin containing two main layers: epidermis and dermis, is considered. An instantaneous point heat source and a non-Gaussian laser pulse are applied on the skin surface to analyse the thermal memory response into the skin-layers. Two different types of laser beams are considered to validate the thermoelastic observations with the optical results.
