Abstract

A cosmetic method of treating skin tissue with a source of treatment light includes providing a source of treatment light along an optical axis; providing one or more sources of illumination light along the optical axis; providing one or more sensors along the optical axis; providing a programmable controller, the programmable controller controlling the activation of the source of illumination light and the source of treatment light. The method includes the steps of: the controller activating the one or more sources of illumination light and directing it to the skin tissue, the one or more sensors measuring the light reflected from the skin tissue and transmitting information sensed of measured light to the programmable controller; the programmable controller processing the measured light received from the output of the one or more sensors and providing a treatment light regimen; the programmable controller activating the source of treatment light according to the treatment regimen to the skin tissue; and, treating the skin tissue.
