Abstract: In accordance with various aspects of the present teachings, systems and methods for applying treatment energy, e.g., electromagnetic radiation such as laser radiation in the visible and near infrared wavelengths, to body areas having bulges and fat deposits, loose skin, pain, acne and/or wounds. In some aspects, the systems and methods can enable relatively lengthy treatments to be performed by having the practitioner set-up and/or start the treatment, thereafter allowing the treatment to proceed safely and effectively without the continued presence of the practitioner.

Abstract: In part, the disclosure relates to a method of cosmetic tissue treatment. The method includes disposing a treatment applicator comprising an electrode array comprising a plurality of needles on a portion of tissue such that a region of the electrode array contacts the portion of tissue, wherein each needle is an electrode in electrical communication with a control system; applying a pulse of radio frequency (RF) energy to the portion of tissue through the electrode array; measuring impedance of electrode array over time; detecting a drop in the measured impedance while electrode array is in contact with the portion of tissue; and upon detection of the reduction in impedance by a threshold value, terminating application of the pulse of RF energy after a treatment time period.

Abstract: Systems and methods utilizing RF energy to treat a patient's skin or other target tissues are provided herein. In various aspects, the methods and systems described herein can provide a RF-based treatment in which RF energy can be selectively controlled to facilitate heating uniformity during one or more of body sculpting treatment (lipolysis), skin tightening treatment (laxity improvement), cellulite treatment, all by way of non-limiting examples. In various aspects, the systems may include a flexible applicator comprising a plurality of layers, the plurality of layers comprises a first dielectric layer, a second dielectric layer, and a conductive layer, wherein the first dielectric layer and the second dielectric layer sandwich the conductive layer, the plurality of layers define a plurality of kerfs, an inner region and N regions extending from the inner region, wherein the plurality of kerfs divide the applicator into N regions.
