Classification: CPC A | IPC A

Claim 0:
1. A device for an unattended treatment of a patient, comprising:
a radiofrequency generator configured to generate a radiofrequency energy with an output power in a range of 1 W to 200 W;
an electric current generator configured to generate a pulsed electric current;
an applicator, comprising:
a connector configured to couple the applicator with the radiofrequency generator and the electric current generator; and
a pad, comprising:
a flexible substrate comprising a first segment and a second segment partially divided by a slot,
wherein the first segment is at least partially independently movable from the second segment to facilitate conformance of the pad to curve or contour of a body part of the patient;
an electrode positioned below the flexible substrate and configured to provide the radiofrequency energy from the radiofrequency generator to cause heating of a treatment area of the body part of the patient and to provide the pulsed electric current from the electric current generator to cause muscle contraction of a muscle within the treatment area;
a conductive lead coupling the electrode with the connector; and
a conductive adhesive layer positioned below the electrode and configured to attach the electrode to the treatment area; and

a control unit configured to control the radiofrequency generator and the electric current generator in order to provide the radiofrequency energy and the pulsed electric current to the treatment area via the electrode according to one or more preprogrammed protocols.
