<p num="1"><br/><br/><br/>A system and method for heating a tissue volume under a skin surface of an <br/>individual from an initial temperature to a predetermined treatment <br/>temperature in the range of 42~-60~ C. The method comprises applying <br/>electrodes to the skin surface and providing from the electrodes a continuous <br/>wave RF energy or a quasi-continuous wave RF energy, where the RF energy has a <br/>power selected to heat the tissue volume to the final temperature in an amount <br/>of time exceeding 0.5 sec. The system of the invention comprises electrodes <br/>and an RF generator configured to provide a continuous wave RF voltage energy <br/>or a quasi-continuous wave RF voltage across the electrodes where the RF <br/>energy has a power selected to heat the tissue volume to the final temperature <br/>in an amount of time exceeding 0.5 sec.<br/> |
