The present invention provides a cooling system for a flash bulb of an intense pulsed light device and a method of using the same. The cooling system comprises: a reservoir； a pump fluidically connected with a conduit downstream to the reservoir； a handpiece thermally connected to a flash bulb of an intense pulsed light device and fluidically connected downstream to the pump with a conduit； an air-cooled heat exchanger fluidically connected downstream to the handpiece with a conduit； and a thermoelectric cooler-cooled heat exchanger fluidically connected downstream to the air-cooled heat exchanger with a conduit and fluidically connected upstream to the reservoir with a conduit, wherein a cooling liquid circulates in the cooling system. The cooling system may further comprise a liquid flow sensor and a temperature controller.
