ABSTRACT:
A procedure employing non-ablative radio-frequency energy for improving the appearance of eyelids or the performance of eyelid blepharoplasty, and the monopolar electrode used in the procedure. The electrode is specially configured to provide a reasonably uniform electric field distribution at the skin surface when applied transconjunctivally on the inner surfaces of the upper or lower lids being treated. Preferably, the active end of the electrode forms a generally rectangular upward-facing platform. While RF electrosurgical currents are applied to the electrode, the platform surface is moved back and forth across and in contact with the tissue.
