Abstract:
A system and method for providing light treatments to a patients skin, which could include both dermal and epidermal regions. The system and method utilize multiple hand pieces where each hand piece can deliver light from a different light source. The system and method provide for control over the different light source corresponding to the different hand pieces based on whether the hand pieces are held in storage positions in a hand piece management unit. A control unit of the system provides operates to cause a user interface display to communicate information to a user based on the positions of the different hand pieces. Further, the system and method can provide a user with access to different aspects of the systems operation based on the positions of the hand pieces.

Abstract:
Apparatus and methods for dynamically controlling a plurality of electrodes during an electrosurgical procedure, wherein each electrode may be controlled with respect to active or return electrode mode, condition, and power level. The electrodes may be disposed within a treatment chamber of a handpiece. Each electrode may comprise a spiral inductor. The handpiece may be equipped with suction and vibration means. The treatment chamber may be configured for receiving at least a portion of the target tissue therein.
