Abstract
A method for non-invasive selective thermal destruction of a skin target by RF current. One or more characteristics of an RF current and a bipolar RF electrode system are determined based upon one or more features of the target in order to create in the target an average energy density exceeding 5 Joules/cmbut lower than a skin coagulation level. The determined electrode system is then applied to the skin and an average energy density exceeding 5 Joules/cmbut lower than a skin coagulation level is generated in the target.
