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.

La présente invention concerne une méthode et un appareil de traitement d'un tissu dans une région en profondeur par application d'un rayonnement optique d'une longueur d'onde pouvant atteindre la profondeur de la région et d'une puissance sélectionnée relativement faible, pendant une durée suffisante pour que le rayonnement effectue le traitement désiré tout en refroidissant simultanément le tissu au-dessus de la région sélectionnée afin de protéger ledit tissu. Le traitement peut être amélioré par application d'une stimulation mécanique, acoustique ou électrique à la région.
