Abstract

The present invention relates to a therapy system for the treatment of the skin and subdermis with light. The system comprises a NIR light source which produces light with a wavelength adapted to an absorption maximum for exciting molecular oxygen in aqueous solution; an image recognition unit for detecting papillary end arterioles and their x-y-z coordinates, wherein a respective depth underneath the skin surface is determined as the z-coordinate by an autofocus function; an optical system for the optical coupling of the light of the NIR light source and the pattern recognition unit to the skin, with a focussing unit to controllably position the light with at least one focus point in the skin; and a control unit to control the NIR light source, the image recognition unit, and the optical system.
