Methods for creating tissue effect utilizing electromagnetic energy and a reverse thermal gradient
A method of creating a tissue effect at a tissue site during a skin treatment is provided. An electromagnetic energy delivery device is coupled to an electromagnetic energy source. Different levels of cooling are applied to a skin surface during the skin treatment, wherein a reverse thermal gradient through the skin surface is created, at least during a portion of the skin treatment, where a temperature of the skin surface is lower than a temperature of the underlying tissue. Electromagnetic energy is applied through the skin surface to the underlying tissue, wherein the. A tissue effect is created on at least a portion of the tissue site.
