Self operated esthetic device with a substrate

A self-operated device for treating a skin of a patient, comprising:

• a. a substrate having a first side and a second side;
• b. a plurality of RF electrodes arranged in said substrate, said RF electrodes are configured to emit RF radiation from said first side to the surface of said skin;
• c. at least one RF generator configured to generate pulses of current to said RF electrodes;
• and,
• d. a control unit connected to said at least one RF generator, said control unit is adapted to control the operation of said RF electrodes;
• wherein said control unit is adapted to control the operation of said RF electrodes according to a predetermined treatment protocol, such that the same activates or deactivates at least one of said RF electrodes at any predetermined time interval according to a predetermined pattern so as to achieve a particular therapeutic result;
• wherein said predetermined pattern is adapted to mimic a treatment in which an applicator with RF electrodes that are moved on the surface of said skin;
• further wherein said device is a self-operable device which does not require an operator to be operated.

A method for treating a skin of a patient, comprising steps of:

• a. providing a self-operated device for treating a skin of a patient, comprising:
• (i) a substrate having a first side and a second side;
• (ii) a plurality of RF electrodes arranged in said substrate, said RF electrodes are configured to emit RF radiation from said first side to the surface of said skin;
• (iii) at least one RF generator configured to generate pulses of current to said RF electrodes;
• and, (iv) a control unit connected to said at least one RF generator, said control unit is adapted to control the operation of said RF electrodes;
• b. at least partially contacting or adjacently bringing said substrate with said skin of said patient;
• c. activating at least one of said RF electrodes at any predetermined time interval according to a predetermined pattern;
• and,
• d. controlling said RF electrodes according to a predetermined treatment protocol thereby achieving a particular therapeutic result;
• wherein said predetermined pattern is adapted to mimic a treatment in which an applicator with RF electrodes that is moved on the surface of said skin;
• wherein said substrate is substantially flexible.
