1. A method of contouring skin, the method comprising:
identifying a region of skin corresponding to a contouring treatment of the skin;
providing the region of skin with a photo-responsive material, the photo-responsive material overlying a portion of the region of the skin;
identifying one or more treatment regions overlapping the photo-responsive material, the treatment regions being identified at least in part to apply the contouring treatment; thereafter
determining a three-dimensional irradiation profile for each of the one or more treatment regions to contour each respective treatment region as part of applying the contouring treatment; and
irradiating with two or more focused beams, at a plurality of select locations, the photo-responsive material at the one or more treatment regions in accordance with the respective irradiation profiles, wherein irradiating the photo-responsive material at the plurality of select locations with the two or more focused beams providing constructive interference at a point of intersection, thereby inducing a localized change in shape of the photo-responsive material in the respective treatment regions, and wherein the photo-responsive material comprises a hydrogel monomer that forms a crosslinked hydrogel when under illumination at a characteristic wavelength.

16. A method of contouring skin, the method comprising:
identifying a region of skin corresponding to a contouring treatment of the skin;
applying a composition having at least one photo-responsive material over the region of skin;
identifying a treatment region associated with the photo-responsive material;
determining an irradiation profile for the treatment region to contour the treatment region as part of applying the contouring treatment, the irradiation profile including a characteristic wavelength, an intensity and a duration for first and second specific locations associated with the first treatment region, wherein the irradiation profile is configured so that at least one of the characteristic wavelength, the intensity and the duration for the first specific location is different from at least one of the characteristic wavelength, the intensity and the duration for the second specific location; and
irradiating the composition having the at least one photo-responsive material at the two or more specific locations associated with the first treatment region in accordance with the respective irradiation profile, wherein irradiating the photo-responsive material induces a localized change in shape of the photo-responsive material in the treatment region.

20. A method of contouring skin, the method comprising:
selecting a tensor of contouring information from a computer system;
identifying a region of skin corresponding to a contouring treatment of the skin;
detecting with a camera the region of skin corresponding to the contouring treatment of the skin;
generating with the computer system a tensor of position information defining the region of skin;
providing the region of skin with a composition having at least one photo-responsive material, wherein the at least one photo-responsive material is configured to induce a localized change in shape of the photo-responsive material from exposure to irradiation, the composition overlying a portion of the region of the skin and defining a composition coverage area;
identifying a treatment region overlapping the composition coverage area, the treatment regions being identified at least in part to apply the contouring treatment; thereafter
determining an irradiation profile for the treatment region to contour the treatment region as part of applying the contouring treatment, wherein the irradiation profile is defined by information comprising the tensor of contouring information projected onto the tensor of position information; and
in accordance with the irradiation profile, solely irradiating a plurality of select locations of the composition coverage area associated with the treatment region, wherein the photo-responsive material comprises a hydrogel monomer that forms a crosslinked hydrogel when under illumination at a characteristic wavelength.
