The drive device is arranged to control the light emitting unit to emit one or several lights during one or several predetermined times and to, in a pulsating manner, emit the light according to a predetermined pulse frequencies or series of pulse frequencies during such times. The light emitting unit includes a cover and a surface carrying the light emitting diodes, and where the light emitting diodes are positioned on the plate. The diode surface has a curved shape adapted to the body part to be treated.
