ABSTRACT:
A radio frequency device for use on a human to resurface skin having collagen therein. The device includes a handle member having an end portion adapted for engaging the skin. At least one passageway extends through the handle member to an opening at the end portion. An electrically conductive liquid is supplied through the passageway to the opening. An electrode is carried by the end portion in communication with the passageway. Radio frequency energy supplied to the electrode causes the collagen in the skin to contract and thus tighten the skin.
