Abstract: In part, in one aspect, the disclosure relates to a cosmetic tissue treatment probe. The probe may include a cannula having a length. The cannula includes a conductive material, an inner surface, an outer surface, a cannula wall disposed between the inner surface and the outer surface, a proximal end, a distal end, a tip, and one or more apertures defined by the cannula wall. The cannula wall has a cannula wall thickness and a cannula length. In some embodiments, at least a portion of the tip is defined by the distal end. The conductive material is configured for electrical communication with an RF generator, the conductive material configured to generate a heat effect in response to a RF signal received from the RF generator, wherein the heat effect is generated relative to a medium or tissue in fluid communication with the one or more apertures.

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.
