Claim 23:
24. The method according to claim 1, wherein the thermodynamics equation that connects the enthalpy with the thermodynamic variables or the variables of the thermodynamic state is ΔH=ΔQMET+ΔQΔT+KM×ΔM+KP×ΔP, where:
ΔH is a change in the enthalpy resulting from tissue transition in the tissue under the applicator into a local thermodynamic equilibrium state;
ΔQMET is an amount of heat entering the tissue under the applicator during mass transfer;
ΔQΔT is an amount of heat entering the tissue under the applicator during heat transition caused by a temperature gradient between the skin surface and a depth;
KM and KP are constants;
ΔM is a change in the amount of water in the tissue under the applicator during mass transfer caused by a chemical potential gradient between the skin surface and the depth; and
ΔP is a change in the elastic pressure of the tissue under the applicator during the mass transfer.
