A device for treatment of skin tissue includes RF electrodes for applying RF energy to the skin and a dispensing unit for dispensing a depilatory substance onto the skin. The device may include a housing, an RF electrode assembly including RF electrodes for applying RF energy to the skin, one or more of the RF electrodes is movable relative to the housing and to the surface of the skin for distributing the RF energy to various parts of the skin and for spreading the depilatory substance along the surface of the skin. The RF electrodes are energized by an internal or external RF energy source. A method for treatment of skin tissue includes applying a depilatory substance to the skin and applying RF energy to the depilatory substance treated skin. |
