Abstract
Disclosed is a tissue-treating device. The device includes a waveguide to guide light, and a medium-control mechanism to change a medium disposed near an area of a tissue to which light from the waveguide is applied. The medium-control mechanism to change the medium may be configured to change the medium such that light energy applied to the area of the tissue with the changed medium results in changes to the area of the tissue that are different from changes to the area of the tissue resulting from application of light energy to the area without changing the medium.
