286. An apparatus for performing a treatment on tissue, comprising:
-
a housing having an output end for EMR from an EMR source; and
a mask coupled to the housing, the mask comprising a dielectric coating of one or more dielectric layers and including a plurality of openings for passage of at least a portion of the EMR from the EMR source to create treatment islets in the tissue. - View Dependent Claims (287, 288, 289, 290, 291, 292, 293, 294, 295, 296, 297, 298, 299, 300, 301, 302, 303, 304, 305, 306, 307, 308, 309, 310, 311, 312, 313, 314, 315, 316, 317, 318, 319, 320, 321, 322, 323, 324, 325, 326, 327, 328, 329, 330, 331, 332)

333. An apparatus for performing a treatment on tissue, comprising:
-
a housing having a portion that defines a target treatment area on the tissue when placed in proximity to the tissue, wherein the housing has an output end for EMR from an EMR source; and
a mask coupled to the housing, the mask positioned optically between the EMR source and the target treatment area, the mask comprising one or more dielectric layers, the one or more dielectric layers being at least partially reflective to EMR from the EMR source, and the mask including a plurality of openings therethrough for passage of at least a portion of the EMR from the EMR source. - View Dependent Claims (334, 335, 336, 337, 338)
