A method of and apparatus for treating tissue wherein a handpiece with a cartridge of motor driven needles is placed in contact with tissue. The motor is energized to drive the needles. Energy is applied energy to the needles. Tissue impedance at the start of treatment is measured. Tissue impedance at the end of treatment is measured. The operator is then notified that corrective action is needed if the measured ending impedance is higher than the measured starting impedance indicating the needles are not inserted into the tissue.

Provided is a monopolar skin treatment apparatus using electrical energy in a high frequency wavelength band in which a retaining ligament, a blood vessel, and a fibrous tissue of a deep part is utilized as an electricity passage to actively prevent the skin from sagging due to the aging. The mouthpiece for skin treatment includes a frame, and a ground electrode unit on the frame. The frame includes a first frame disposed in front, a second frame extending rearward from one end portion of the first frame, and a third frame extending rearward from an opposite end portion of the first frame. The ground electrode unit is integrally formed with the first frame, the second frame, and the third frame while continuously extending.

A body orifice remodeling device includes a cylindrical handpiece having a defined length which is adapted to be inserted into the body orifice and an elongated monopolar electrode mounted outside on the circumference of the cylindrical handpiece and extending substantially along the length of the handpiece. A source of radio frequency (RF) energy in the handpiece is configured to generate RF energy to the elongated monopolar electrode; and a source of electromagnetic stimulation energy (EMagS) in the handpiece is configured to generate (EMagS) energy.

Disclosed are a body contouring device using RF energy, a control method thereof, and a body contouring method using the same, in which a surface of tissue overheated due to the edge effect is selectively cooled while the tissue is heated with the RF energy transferred thereto, thereby having a uniform treatment effect on a treatment area, reducing pain, and preventing the tissue from being damaged.

The disclosure deals with methodologies and systems for oscillating electric fields (OEF), which can disrupt a cell's ability to divide. Passing these electric fields through, for example, a person's brain (or other anatomical organ or region of the body) possesses the ability to stop cancer cells from growing in patients where disease is expected. These devices can be worn by patients going through treatment to inhibit metastatic disease and to even enhance the sensitivity of established cancer cells to other therapies. Presently disclosed methodologies relate to varying frequency and/or amplitude of the oscillating electric signal for improved treatment effectiveness.

An assay device and method of assaying the application of energy to a plurality of samples in vitro. The assay device includes a housing, an array, and a control module. The housing includes a socket sized to receive a culture plate. The array includes a plurality of emitters and is positioned within the housing adjacent to the socket so that the plurality of emitters are each aligned with at least one culture well of the culture plate when the culture plate is received in the socket. The control module is operably coupled to the array and is configured to individually drive the plurality of emitters. The control module is configured to drive at least two of the plurality of emitters at different frequencies simultaneously.
