  • System and method for skin treatment using electrical current
    Patent number: 6889090
    Abstract: A system and method for selective thermal treatment of skin irregularities. The system comprises one or more RF electrodes that are adapted to apply RF energy to the skin. An RF pulse generator generates voltage pulses in the RF range at the electrodes, where the voltage pulses have a duration of 2-500 ms. The method comprises applying RF electrodes to the skin and generating voltage pulses at the electrodes in the RF range, where the pulses have a duration in the range of 2-500 ms.

  • System and method for treating skin
    Publication number: 20040220512
    Abstract: System and method for treating a skin target. A temperature effector creates a temperature difference between the target and the skin tissue surrounding the target such that the target is at a higher temperature than the surrounding tissue by at least 5° C. One or more RF electrodes are attached to the skin and RF energy is applied.

  • Method and system for treating skin
    Patent number: 6662054
    Abstract: A method and system for treating skin. The method comprises deforming the skin so that a region of skin protrudes from surrounding skin, and applying radio frequency (RF) energy to the skin. The system comprises a skin deformer that deforms a region of skin so that a region of skin protrudes out from surrounding skin. The system also comprises one or more RF elemodes configured to apply RF energy to the skin. The invention may be used to treat subcutaneous adipose tissue and cartage.
