1. A method for a female genital tissue treatment comprising:
providing an internal applicator including an insertable part and a non-insertable part;
assembling the insertable part with first and second detachable parts along a length of the insertable part, wherein the first detachable part includes a first ring-shaped circular radiofrequency electrode encircling or around the first detachable part and the second detachable part includes a second ring-shaped circular radiofrequency electrode encircling or around the second detachable part;
with the first and second ring-shaped circular radiofrequency electrodes having a length in a range of 0.1 mm to 100 mm and a radius in a range of 0.2 cm to 20 cm;
wherein the non-insertable part, the first and second detachable parts and centers of the first and second ring-shaped circular radiofrequency electrodes are configured to be on the same longitudinal axis;
wherein the first and second ring-shaped circular radiofrequency electrodes are perpendicular to the longitudinal axis; and
wherein the first and the second ring-shaped circular radiofrequency electrodes are spaced apart from each other by a distance in a range of 0.01 mm to 20 mm;
inserting the insertable part having a length in a range of 0.75 cm to 20 cm at east partially into a vagina;
transferring a radiofrequency energy into the genital tissue of the vagina with the first and second ring-shaped circular radiofrequency electrodes;
wherein the radiofrequency energy is in a range of 350 kHz to 100 MHz with an output up to 450 W providing an energy flux in a range 0.001 W/cm2 to 1500 W/cm2; and, heating an epithelium of the vagina.
