The invention provides a non-invasive
skin treatment device (200) comprising: a
light source (10) constructed for emitting treatment light (15), an optical
system (20) constructed for focusing the treatment light along an
optical axis (OA) to a focus position (320) inside the
skin tissue (300), and an indenter (30) comprising a
skin contact surface (34) having an aperture (A1) at a distance from the optical
system for allowing the treatment light to be focused through the aperture into the
skin tissue. The indenter is configured and constructed for generating, in a cross-section of the aperture taken along the
optical axis and along a cross-section direction wherein the aperture has a width dimension, a maximally curved protrusion of
skin tissue freely protruding through the aperture towards the optical
system by pressing the indenter against the
skin surface of a specific
skin type with a pressure exceeding a predefined pressure, a
skin surface of said maximally curved protrusion having a
radius of curvature (RC) at an intersection with the
optical axis. The optical system is configured and constructed for generating a focused beam of the treatment light having, in said cross-section of the aperture at said intersection, a wave front with a
radius of curvature
ranging between 75% and 125% of said
radius of curvature (RC) of the
skin surface of said maximally curved protrusion.
