Abstract
A system is provided for treating fatty tissue sites of a patient. At least first and second mono-polar electrodes are configured to be introduced at or near the fatty tissue site of the patient. A voltage pulse generator is coupled to the first and second mono-polar electrodes. The voltage pulse generator is configured to apply sufficient electrical pulses between the first and second mono-polar electrodes to induce electroporation of cells in the fatty tissue site, to create necrosis of cells of the fatty tissue site, but insufficient to create a thermal damaging effect to a majority of the fatty tissue site. The system can be incorporated into standard liposuction devices or used simultaneously to treat and remove the tissue.
