The optical element positioning structure positions the optical element in a safety position, or in a treatment position when the tip is in contact with the skin to be treated, and allows movement of the optical element between both positions. In the safety position, the optical element is arranged at a position on the optical axis to generate an eye-safe light beam. In the treatment position, the optical element is arranged at another position on the optical axis to generate a treatment light beam. 2. A skin treatment device according to claim 1 , wherein the optical element positioning structure comprises a resilient element for applying a first force to the optical element in a first direction parallel to the optical axis and away from the light emission element towards the safety position.32. A skin treatment device according to claim 2 , wherein the optical element is arranged at the tip to receive a force (F) substantially in a second direction towards the treatment position when the tip is pressed to the skin for moving the optical element towards the treatment position the second direction being substantially opposite to the first direction.4. A skin treatment device according to claim 3 , wherein the optical element positioning structure comprises a housing comprisinga front wall being arranged proximate to a skin contact surface of the tip for defining the safety position by limiting movement of the optical element in the first direction, the front wall comprising an opening for allowing the optical element to partially protrude from the housing if the optical element is arranged ...
