Penetration depth of near‐infrared laser radiation to costal cartilage is controlled by the tissue absorption and scattering, and it is the critical parameter to provide the relaxation of mechanical stress throughout the whole thickness of cartilage implant. To enhance the penetration for the laser radiation on 1.56 μm, the optical clearing solutions of glycerol and fructose of various concentrations are tested. The effective and reversible tissue clearance was achieved. However, the increasing absorption of radiation should be concerned: 5°C‐8°C increase of tissue temperature was detected. Laser parameters used for stress relaxation in cartilage should be optimized when applying optical clearing agents. To concentrate the absorption in the superficial tissue layers, magnetite nanoparticle (NP) dispersions with the mean size 95 ± 5 nm and concentration 3.9 ± 1.1 × 1011 particles/mL are applied. The significant increase in the tissue heating rate was observed along with the decrease in its transparency. Using NPs the respective laser power can be decreased, allowing us to obtain the working temperature locally with reduced thermal effect on the surrounding tissue.
