The invention provides improved devices, methods and systems for repeatably and reliably contracting fascia and other support tissues, particularly for the treatment of urinary incontinence. Rather than relying on a surgeon's ability to observe, direct, and control the selective shrinking of pelvic support tissues, probes (20) generally limit heating so that only sufficient controlled energy is transmitted form a surface of the probe (20) into the engaged tissue to contract the tissue and inhibit incontinence (or otherwise provide the desired therapeutic results).
