Abstract
An applicator for cosmetic treatment of skin including one or more sources of light energy and one or more transparent electrode assemblies positioned between the source of light energy and skin to be treated. The transparent electrode assembly supports transmission of light energy from the light source to one or more segments of skin located directly under and in contact with the electrode assembly. The electrode assembly can also include transparent RF electrodes that measure skin impedance (temperature).

Applicator for cosmetic treatment of skin, comprising:
- one or more sources of light energy;
- one or more arrays of transparent RF conductive elements arranged in a matrix and positioned between the source of light energy and skin to be treated;
- and
- wherein RF electrode elements are supplied with low power RF energy and indirectly measure skin temperature by measuring differences in skin impedance between each pair of RF electrode elements;
- and
- wherein the transparent RF conducting elements supports transmission of light energy from the light source to at least one segment of skin located directly under and in contact with the electrode.
Applicator for cosmetic treatment of skin, comprising:
- one or more sources of light energy;
