| 发明名称 | Method and apparatus for photothermal treatment of tissue at depth | ||
| 摘要 | The present invention provides method and apparatus for treating tissue in a region at depth by applying optical radiation thereto of a wavelength able to reach the depth of the region and of a selected relatively low power for a duration sufficient for the radiation to effect the desired treatment while concurrently cooling tissue above the selected region to protect such tissue. Treatment may be enhanced by applying mechanical, acoustic or electrical stimulation to the region. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. Apparatus for treating at least a selected region at depth of a patient while protecting tissue above the selected region, comprising: an optical radiation source for delivering infrared optical radiation at a power density of between about 0.2 W/cm2 and about 50 W/cm2 to the patient's skin, said power density varying at least in part as a function of the depth of said selected region; a water filter to at least attenuate wavelengths from said optical radiation source which are selectively absorbed by water; and a cooling mechanism configured to cool tissue. | ||
