Abstract
Method, system and apparatus for carrying out a controlled heating of dermis to achieve a percentage of linear collagen shrinkage. Implants (60) are employed which preferably are configured as a thermal barrier defining support of an outwardly disposed support surface which carries one or more heater segments (62). Located along heating channels at the interface between dermis and next adjacent subcutaneous tissue, the structure protects the latter from thermally induced damage while directing heat energy into the former.
