1. A method of creating a lesion in skin, said method comprising the steps of:

  • positioning an apparatus including a plurality of waveguide antennas adjacent a skin surface with an output of the waveguide antennas being separated from the skin surface by a cooling chamber and a cooling plate;

    supplying energy to a first waveguide antenna at a first power level for a first predetermined time period;

    supplying energy to a second waveguide antenna at a second power level for a second predetermined time period;

    supplying energy simultaneously to both said first waveguide antenna and said second waveguide antenna for a third time period, wherein, during said third time period said energy is supplied to said first waveguide antenna at a third power level and said energy is supplied to said second waveguide antenna at a fourth power level, such that the first waveguide antenna and the second waveguide antenna have a balanced output.
