Abstract
A system and method for heating a tissue volume under a skin surface of an individual from an initial temperature to a predetermined treatment temperature in the range of 42°-60° C. The method comprises applying electrodes to the skin surface and providing from the electrodes a continuous wave RF energy or a quasi-continuous wave RF energy, where the RF energy has a power selected to heat the tissue volume to the final temperature in an amount of time exceeding 0.5 sec. The system of the invention comprises electrodes and an RF generator configured to provide a continuous wave RF voltage energy or a quasi-continuous wave RF voltage across the electrodes where the RF energy has a power selected to heat the tissue volume to the final temperature in an amount of time exceeding 0.5 sec.
