The present invention describes a device, a method for under-skin laser treatment that is minimally invasive, versatile and precise. The invention allows for under-skin laser treatment with only minimal insertions into the area of treatment. For example, an entire area may be treated with one insertion. The invention incorporates a standard insertion component (204) making the system inexpensive, and easy for doctors to use. In addition, the invention allows users to get in direct contact with the treatment site, eliminating deleterious side effects encountered when treatment is administered to the skin surface. The invention has applications in several areas of treatment. First, under-skin treatment of aesthetic skin blemishes such as sagging, and wrinkles can be performed with minimal external effects . Laser power is delivered directly beneath the skin, by passing harmful exposure of the skin surface to the radiation. Second, common vascular abnormalities such as capillary disorders, spider nevus, hemangioma, and varicose veins can be selectively eliminated. The device allows a simple, single insertion per treated structure, and specific laser delivery. The needle (204) is inserted in the vascular structure (208). Any abnormalities are eradicated starting from the source, and continuingthrough the entire structure. Third, when coupled with x-ray imaging, the present invention may be used to treat various internal body structures for example during surgery . X-ray imaging allows the user to orient the device within the body structure s. Laser delivery treatment can then be administered as described above.</SDOAB >
