More particularly, embodiments of the present invention provide minimally-invasive Fiberoptic Microneedle Devices (FMDs) for light-based therapeutics, which physically penetrate tissue and deliver light directly into the target area below the skin surface. Embodiments of the invention enable depth-selective and deep photothermal therapeutics and include methods of treating cancer, methods of re-shaping or removing adipose tissue, and methods of delivering drugs or co-delivering drugs and energy to selected tissue.application/pdfPatenthttp://pimg-fpiw.uspto.gov/fdd/24/201/102/0.pdf14002058A61M1/008A61B18/20A61M5/158A61M37/0015A61B2018/00452A61B2018/00464A61B2018/00476A61B2018/2005A61B2018/208A61M2037/0061A61M2202/08A61N2005/0612A61N2005/063F04C2270/042110220124
