1. An apparatus for applying electromagnetic energy to a body part comprising:

  • a generator means for generating said electromagnetic energy at a plurality of different frequencies;

    a coil means connected to said generator means for transmitting said electromagnetic energy to said body part;

    a control connected to said generator means;

    a sensor means connected to said control for sensing a local skin temperature or a local skin resistance of said body part; and

    an algorithm resident in said control, said algorithm comprising an adjustment module means for;

    causing said coil means to transmit electromagnetic energy at different test frequencies, recording with respect to each of said different test frequencies corresponding variations in said local skin temperature and/or said local skin resistance sensed by said sensor means, and establishing a treatment frequency for said body part as a function of said different test frequencies and a corresponding significant variation of said local skin temperature and/or said local skin resistance.
