ABSTRACT:
A cosmetic system and technique are provided for improving the texture and appearance of an individual's skin. The system includes an energy absorption modifier that may be applied to a portion of the individual's epidermis. The energy absorption modifier is designed to displace water within that portion. Energy from an appropriate laser or infrared lamp can then be directed to a treatment area beneath the epidermal layer without detrimental heat buildup in that area of the epidermis.
