Opto-thermal material modification
First Claim
1. A method for the modification of a layer of a tissue comprising the steps of:
- applying to a section of the tissue a substance having a high absorption of at least one frequency band of electromagnetic radiation illuminating the covered section of the targeted tissue with electromagnetic radiation of said at least one frequency band of electromagnetic radiation, said radiation energy is thereby absorbed by the high absorption substance covering the target tissue surface and is thereby converted to thermal energy sufficient to bring about irreversible modification in the skin properties.

Abstract
A device and a method for removing or modifying a material substance, comprising: applying energy to an intermediate material, said intermediate material subsequently delivering said energy to the target material. The device and the method also utilize active energy removal schemes in order to minimize pain, and/or protect some tissue and or control tissue modification and removal effects.
A system for enhancing and improving the delivery of a substance across a barrier. A substance is applied to the surface of the barrier to be penetrated. The substance is then brought in contact with a device containing an energy source, said energy source emit energy which causes an intermediate medium to drive the substance across the barrier.
