A method for treating adipose tissue in a human subject, comprising:
- providing a probe having a handle coupled to an elongate shaft with a working end;
- positioning the working end at a targeted site in the adipose tissue;
- providing a flow of liquid media at a selected fluid flow rate and converting the liquid media to vapor media within a helical element in the handle;
- and
- delivering the vapor media through the shaft and working end to the targeted site for a selected time interval thereby delivering ablative energy to the targeted site.
