1. A body contouring apparatus comprising:
- at least one body accommodating surface operative to accommodate at least part of a subject'"'"'s body;
a controller;
a source of RF energy; and
at least one energy delivery modular component removably connected to said body accommodating surface and having at least two RF delivery electrodes, operative to communicate with said controller and said source of RF energy and generate a sweeping tissue heating wave effect creating a progression of a heated zone across a segment of tissue to be treated.

18. A disposable energy delivery modular component for a body contouring apparatus, said component comprising:
-
at least one body accommodating contact surface operative to accommodate at least part of a subject'"'"'s body; at least two RF energy delivery electrodes mounted on said contact surface, operative to apply RF energy to said at least part of said subject'"'"'s body and generate a sweeping tissue heating wave effect creating a progression of a heated zone across a segment of tissue to be treated; at least one mechanical energy delivery element operative to transfer mechanical energy to said at least part of said subject'"'"'s body; and at least one sensor.

19. A method of a cosmetic treatment, said method comprising:
-
coupling to a segment of body a disposable energy delivery component; employing said energy delivery component to apply at least one type of energy and generate a sweeping tissue heating wave effect creating a progression of a heated zone across a segment of tissue to be treated; sensing at least one of the effects caused by at least one of the energies and providing feedback; and modifying at least one type of said energies applied to a segment of the body and treatment parameters in accordance with said feedback and a predetermined treatment protocol. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
