1. A device for light treatment of skin, the device comprising:
an interior compartment having a proximal end and a distal end;
an optical aperture disposed at the distal end;
a laser or Broad Band Light (BBL) source that produces a laser or BBL beam, the laser or BBL beam having a first optical path within the interior compartment between the proximal end and the distal end and exiting the interior compartment through the optical aperture;
an imaging system that receives a return signal from the optical aperture, the return signal having a second optical path within the interior compartment; and
a selectively reflective optical element disposed in the first optical path and in the second optical path,
wherein the selectively reflective optical element transmits at least 60% of the laser or BBL beam incident on the selectively reflective optical element, and
wherein the selectively reflective optical element reflects to the imaging system at least 1% of incident light received from the optical aperture.
