A polarization based medical device for optically stimulating the formation of collagen in tissue comprises a light source for providing a beam of light. A polarizer polarizes the beam of light. A first beam shaping optics directs the polarized beam of light to a spatial light modulator. A second beam shaping optics directs the polarized beam from the spatial light modulator to an area of interest within the tissue. A spatially controlled pattern of polarized light is directed onto the tissue, thereby affecting the orientation of formation of collagen within the tissue.
