Claim 24:
25. A device for a treatment of a patient, comprising:
a radiofrequency generator configured to generate a radiofrequency energy;
a pad, comprising:
a flexible substrate;
a conductive lead;
an adhesive; and
an electrode, comprising:
apertures;
grid lines separated by the apertures; and
a frame defining the border of the grid lines and the apertures,
wherein the frame and the grid lines are made of a conductive material,

wherein the electrode is positioned below the flexible substrate and is coupled to the radiofrequency generator by the conductive lead,
wherein the electrode is coupled in the adhesive and configured to be in contact with a body part of the patient through the adhesive,
wherein the electrode is configured to provide a radiofrequency energy to the body part, thereby causing heating of a skin of the body part,
wherein the electrode is configured to provide an electric current to the body part, thereby causing a muscle stimulation within the body part, and
wherein the body part comprises one of a face, a neck, or a submentum; and
a control unit configured to control the radiofrequency energy and the electric current.
