A method of lipolysis. The method comprises deforming a region of skin so that the region of skin protrudes from surrounding skin. One or more radio frequency (RF) electrodes are positioned on the protruding region of skin so as to generate an electrical current through adipose tissue in the protruding region of skin when a voltage is applied to the electrode or electrodes. A voltage is then applied to the electrode or electrodes so as to deliver sufficient RF energy to the protruding region of skin to damage subcutaneous adipose tissue. The method of the invention may be used, for example, to achieve a reduction in body weight, cellulite reduction, loose skin reduction, wrinkle treatment, body surface tightening, skin tightening, and collagen remodeling.
