Abstract: An apparatus for non-invasive directional tissue treatment comprises an energy source and an array of energy delivery elements placed in a predetermined order defining a tissue treatment area such that tissue tightening obtained is higher in a first direction than in a second direction of the two-dimensional array.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention may be related to an apparatus for non-invasive directional tissue treatment. The apparatus includes a radiofrequency (RF) generator and an array of RF energy delivery elements in monopolar configuration, in active communication with the RF generator, at least one of: a return electrode and a return pad, and a power source and a controller. In some embodiments, each of the RF energy delivery elements comprises a monopolar electrode such that each monopolar electrode has a first dimension and a second dimension, the first dimension perpendicular to the second dimension. In some embodiments, the first dimension of each monopolar electrode and the distance between the monopolar electrodes in each pair are configured to create an elongated heated volume of tissue when the RF generator is activated and at least one of the RF delivery elements is in contact with the tissue.

The apparatus includes a radiofrequency (RF) generator and an array of RF energy delivery elements in active communication with the RF generator, a power source and a controller. In some embodiments, each of the RF energy delivery elements comprises a pair of electrodes with opposite polarity such that each electrode has a first dimension and a second dimension, the first dimension perpendicular to the second dimension and to an imaginary line connecting the pair of electrodes to each other. In some embodiments, the first dimension of each electrode and the distance between the electrodes in each pair are configured to create an elongated heated volume of tissue when the RF generator is activated and at least one of the RF delivery elements is in contact with the tissue.
