ABSTRACT:
A method and device for causing a predetermined physiological change in a mammalian tissue. The method includes irradiating the tissue with a radiation having a power density in the tissue substantially larger than an activation threshold power density, the tissue being irradiated under conditions suitable to cause the predetermined physiological change. The device can emit radiation and forms to the anatomy of a patient. The device can both cool the patient and treatment head using one cooling system.
