34. A RF device for non-invasively treating tissue using RF energy, the RF device comprising:
-
a support structure;
an RF electrode coupled to the support structure, the RF electrode including a dielectric portion and a conductive portion disposed on the dielectric portion, and the dielectric portion adapted to be positioned between the conductive portion and a skin surface, when the RF electrode is positioned at the skin surface, such that RF energy is capacitively coupled from the conductive portion into the tissue by transmission through the dielectric portion; and
a non-volatile memory mechanically coupled to the RF electrode.

56. An RF device for non-invasively treating tissue using RF energy, the RF device comprising:
-
a support structure; and
an RF electrode coupled to the support structure and including a conductive portion and a dielectric portion, the RF electrode configured to capacitively couple RF energy with the tissue when at least a portion of the RF electrode is in contact with a skin surface, the conductive portion including a perimeter and a plurality of voids defined as non-conductive areas within the perimeter, and the dielectric portion adapted to be positioned between the conductive portion and the skin surface when the RF electrode is positioned at the skin surface. - View Dependent Claims (57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63)
