286. 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; and
a light emitting bar for applying EMR to the target treatment area, wherein the light emitting bar includes multiple emitters of EMR for creating treatment islets in the tissue, each emitter creating a treatment islet. - 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, 334, 335, 336)

337. An apparatus for performing a treatment on tissue, comprising:
-
a hand held piece having a portion that defines a target treatment area on the tissue when placed in proximity to the tissue;
a base unit containing a light emitting bar having multiple emitters of optical energy;
a bundle of optical fibers, wherein each optical fiber is connected to at least one of the emitters, wherein the multiple emitters and bundle of optical fibers create treatment islets in the tissue, each optical fiber creating a treatment islet in the tissue. - View Dependent Claims (338, 339, 340)

- 346. An apparatus for performing a treatment on a target treatment area of tissue, comprising a light emitting assembly for applying EMR to the target treatment area, the light emitting assembly including a light emitting bar with multiple emitters of EMR, wherein the EMR is applied in a plurality of sub-areas, with each emitter applying EMR in one of the sub-areas, at least a portion of the target treatment area between the sub-areas not directly receiving EMR.
-
359. A dermatological apparatus for performing a treatment on tissue, comprising:
-
means for supplying EMR to the tissue to create treatment islets, wherein the EMR supplying means includes a light emitting bar having multiple emitters of EMR; and
means for supporting the EMR supplying means, the means for supporting including a head portion capable of being manipulated to position the head portion in proximity to the tissue when in use. - View Dependent Claims (360)
