Problems solved by technology

Typically invasive procedures appear to be the most effective but require significant recuperative periods, while less invasive procedures are less effective than invasive procedures but the recuperative periods are shorter.
There are limits when creating therapeutic injury to tissue, if there is variability in the lesion or hole created in the tissue the healing process may not produce the optimal effect.
For example, if the therapeutic treatment creates openings in the tissue that are too large, the tissue may not heal as desired.

Embodiment Construction

[0051]The methods, procedures, kits, and devices described herein are intended to assist with the healing process of tissue that was previously or simultaneously treated for a therapeutic or cosmetic effect. Assisting in the healing process can produce an improved outcome and in some cases can eliminate or reduce variability with the healing process. The combined therapeutic process of treating tissue and assisting the ensuing healing process can produce a consistent skin tightening procedure and improve the outcome of the procedure. It is noted that combinations of variations of the methods, kits, and / or procedures as well as combination of specific aspects of methods, kits, and / or procedures are within the scope of this disclosure even though such embodiments may not be specifically shown.
