Claims29
A skin treatment apparatus, comprising:
- a plurality of electrodes, the electrodes being bipolar and configured to be insertable into skin to be treated;
- and
- a radio frequency (RF) generation module, the RF generation module electrically coupled to the plurality of electrodes and configured to provide an Alternating Current (AC) RF signal to the plurality of electrodes configured to cause coagulation around each electrode rather than coagulating between the electrodes.
A method of treating skin, comprising:
- inserting a plurality of electrodes, the electrodes being bipolar into a section of skin to be treated;
- and
- applying a Alternating Current (AC) Radio Frequency (RF) signal to the plurality of electrodes configured to cause coagulation around each electrode rather than coagulating between the electrodes.
