1. A kit, comprising:
- a handpiece;
an RF electrode device including a support structure, first and second engagement members, an RF electrode coupled to the support structure, a first sensor coupled to the RF electrode, and a non-volatile memory coupled to the support structure, the first and second engagement members configured to provide engagement and disengagement with the handpiece;
a fluid delivery member configured to provide an atomizing delivery of a cooling fluidic medium to the RF electrode; and
a dielectric member,wherein the RF electrode and the dielectric member are configured to capacitively couple RF energy to tissue through the dielectric member to a location beneath a skin surface when at least a portion of the dielectric member is in contact with the skin surface, and the RF electrode is configured to be cooled.

Abstract
These and other objects of the present invention are achieved in a method for creating a desired tissue effect. An RF electrode is provided that includes a conductive portion. The RF electrode is coupled to a fluid delivery member that delivers a cooling fluidic medium to a back surface of the RF electrode. A dielectric is positioned on a skin surface. The RF electrode is coupled with the dielectric. RF energy is delivered from the RF electrode and the dielectric to the skin surface.
