Abstract
A control system to establish consistency in carrying out an epilation procedure, in which a main microcomputer is associated with an RF amplifier chain for producing RF energy to be transmitted to a hair follicle of a patient by means of an epilator probe, and a slave microcomputer is associated with the main microcomputer and the RF amplifier chain to protect the patient from a misapplication of RF power, the slave microcomputer independently monitors pulse timing and cooperates with the main microcomputer to enable the RF amplifier chain.
