1. A device for irradiating a user with medical and cosmetic radiation, comprising:
a plurality of irradiation modules for irradiation with medical and cosmetic radiation, which irradiation modules are housed in a housing part, each irradiation module of the plurality of irradiation modules comprising:
a carrier upon which a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) are positioned on one side of the carrier, and
a heat transfer plate arranged on an opposing side of the carrier, the heat transfer plate configured to dissipate heat resulting during operation of the LEDs;
wherein at least one of the irradiation modules is adjustable in the direction of the user, individually relative to other irradiation modules within the housing part,
a sensor configured to detect the position of skin characteristics of the body of the user, the skin characteristics selected from a group comprising of tattoos, burns, wounds, birthmarks, scars, white spots and pigment aberrations;
a controller coupled to the sensor and the plurality of irradiation modules;
wherein, once the position of the skin characteristics of the body of the user are detected, the controller is configured to irradiate the position of the skin characteristics of the body at a reduced power relative to the other positions of the body.
