Abstract
A method and a device for modifying target material for esthetic or biomedical applications. A source of energy is directed to apply the energy to a region of the tissue, so as to ablate or modify a portion of the tissue in the region allowing the creation of a desired esthetic pattern or target perforation for product, drug or nutrient delivery. Preferably, cooling of tissue in the region is initiated subsequent to the ablation.
