Cross-section of an IPL device emitting light into skin layers, showing heat penetration and internal cooling mechanisms.

Create a medical-style cross-sectional illustration of an Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) device in action on skin layers. The image should be side view, simple and schematic, without any text or cartoonish elements. Key elements: Handpiece (on the left side of the image): Clearly defined round plastic casing. Inside, a Xenon flashlamp positioned above an optical fiber that directs light to the device window. Water cooling circulation surrounds the flashlamp in a loop (depict water flow in light blue). The electrical + water supply pipe enters from the right side into the handpiece. The pipe itself should appear yellow, showing both functions combined. The optical fiber is below the flashlamp, between the flashlamp and the device window. Skin layers (on the right side, under the device window): Three layers: epidermis (thin top layer), dermis (larger middle layer), hypodermis (largest bottom layer). Show heat induced by the IPL light within the tissue, with a color gradient (bright red near the surface, fading to yellow deeper). Include subtle depiction of blood vessels and chromophores in the epidermis and dermis, without making it cluttered. Lighting & style: The handpiece and skin should be schematic, simple, clean, and realistic enough to show functional components. Avoid hairs, text labels, or cartoon exaggerations. The illustration should clearly convey the functioning of IPL, showing how light penetrates the skin and how the flashlamp is cooled. See more
