Systems and methods for electrosurgical skin resurfacing

摘要: Systems and methods are provided for selectively applying electrical energy to a target location on an external body surface, such as skin tissue removal and/or collagen shrinkage in the epidermis or dermis, e.g., of pigmentations, vascular lesions (e.g., leg veins), scars, tattoos, etc., other surgical procedures skin, rejuvenation, cosmetic surgery, wrinkle removal, hair transplant procedures. The present invention applies high frequency (RF) one more electrode terminals adjacent outer surface remove modify structure structures within skin. Depending specific procedure, may be used to: (1) volumetrically (i.e., ablate effect molecular dissociation structure); (2) separate layer from underlying so that can removed; (3) shrink contract connective tissue; (4) coagulate blood vessels
