<p>Apparatus and methods for treating biological tissue 200 with RF power delivered from an energy applicator 240, at least a portion of which mechanically vibrates, are disclosed. In some embodiments, the presently disclosed apparatus includes a vibration generation device 190 operative to cause the at least a portion of the applicator 240 to mechanically vibrate. Typically, the mechanical vibrations have a frequency of between 1 Hz and 100 Hz, and an amplitude of between 0.1-10 mm. In some embodiments, the vibrations primarily include vibrations in a direction substantially perpendicular to a surface of the biological tissue 200 in contact with the applicator 240 through which RF power is delivered. In some embodiments, the vibration parameters {i.e. amplitude or frequency) are determined in accordance with one or more physical parameters associated with the delivering of the RF power to the biological tissue.</p> |
