Abstract: A method of applying RF energy includes using an RF energy applicator assembly to apply RF energy to a tissue. The RF energy applicator assembly includes a housing, and RF electrodes coupled to an RF energy source and movably mounted in the housing. The RF electrodes have a retracted position, in which the RF electrodes are retracted inside the housing, and deployed positions in which the RF electrodes protrude out of the housing at different protrusion lengths. An actuator is coupled to the RF electrodes and configured to move the RF electrodes from the retracted position to any one of the deployed positions.

Abstract: A skin rejuvenation resurfacing apparatus comprising an oscillating, reciprocating high speed, needle-based device and its related procedure for inducing mechanical trauma to an area of the skin to be treated.

Abstract: An applicator includes at least one RF electrode coupled to an RF generator. The at least one RF electrode has protrusions each with a curvature radius which is equal to or greater than a curvature radius of an outer edge of the at least one RF electrode.

Abstract: A light source assembly (10) includes one or more lights (12) mounted on a substrate (14). A transparent cover (18) covers the one or more lights (12). A shaft (22) is coupled to the substrate (14) and to a handle (24). An electrical wire (30) is connected to the one or more lights (12) and passes through the shaft (22). A fluid conduit (32) passes through the shaft (22) and is in fluid communication with a fluid port (34) near or on the substrate (14).

Abstract: A method of contraction of collagenous tissue between urethra and vagina includes positioning an RF active electrode between a urethra and a vagina and delivering RF energy into the collagenous tissue. The method includes using a mechanism to direct the active electrode into the safe position to avoid damage of important structures.
