1. A system for treatment of body tissue, the system comprising:
- a housing;
a source of electromagnetic radiation configured to generate treatment energy, the source disposed within the housing;
a first applicator;
a second applicator, wherein each applicator comprises a window to contact a surface of a body and deliver treatment energy thereto;
a first umbilical extending from the housing to the first applicator;
a first dock to store the first applicator;
a second umbilical extending from the housing to the second applicator, wherein each umbilical receives treatment energy from the source and delivers the treatment energy to window of each respective applicator;
a second dock to store the second applicator, wherein each applicator is sized for storage in its respective dock when not in use, wherein each dock extends from the housing; and
an arm comprising a first arm section and a second arm section, the first arm section extending from the housing and positioned above the first dock and the second dock, the second arm section extending from the first arm section, wherein the arm defines a first opening and a second opening, portions of each of the first and second umbilicals disposed in both the first and second openings, wherein the arm supports a first section of each umbilical above the housing and receives or supports a second section of each umbilical above the housing.

Abstract
In accordance with various aspects of the present teachings, systems and methods for applying treatment energy, e.g., electromagnetic radiation such as laser radiation in the visible and near infrared wavelengths, to body areas having bulges and fat deposits, loose skin, pain, acne and/or wounds. In some aspects, the systems and methods can enable relatively lengthy treatments to be performed by having the practitioner set-up and/or start the treatment, thereafter allowing the treatment to proceed safely and effectively without the continued presence of the practitioner.
