We show that the nanobubble maximal size and lifetime are to a large extent controlled by the ballistic thermal flux which is present inside the bubble.  Taking into account this thermal flux, we can reproduce the fluence dependence of the maximal nanobubble radius as reported experimentally.  These studies represent a significant step toward the optimization of the nanobubble size, which is of crucial importance for photothermal cancer therapy applications.
