Abstract
A radio frequency system capable of selectively heating skin and subcutaneous fat tissues using a single frequency dual mode antenna device is disclosed. A detailed description and theory of operation of the antenna device are disclosed. The antenna device disclosed herein is capable of generating electric fields that are either mostly tangent, or mostly normal, to the skin surface, resulting in either predominantly heating skin or predominantly heating fat. The method for treating skin and subcutaneous fat tissues using such system is also disclosed.
