A system 30 and method(s) 100 for thermal treatment of a selected target within a subject is disclosed. System 30 includes RF source 10 , phase shifter 14 , impedance matching network 11 and resonator 13 . Applicator 3 conveys output signal 17 from energy source 10 through surface 6 of biological tissue 4 to predetermined energy dissipation zone 5 after output 17 has been processed by the phase shifter 14 , IMN 11 and resonator 13 . Stationary water molecules 1 , such as those in fat cells, are preferentially heated. Operation of system 30 produces a reverse thermal gradient so that surface 6 of biological tissue 4 is maintained at a lower temperature than predetermined energy dissipation zone 5 without a cooling device. The invention is useful in selective heating of cellulite bodies as a means of treating cellulite.
