Claim:
1. A treatment system configured to exert energy to a living tissue to treat the living tissue, comprising: a pair of holding portions configured to hold the living tissue therebetween, at least one of the holding portions is configured to move relatively with respect to the other holding portion to hold the living tissue; a high-frequency energy output section configured to output high-frequency energy to the living tissue to elevate a temperature of the living tissue to reach a first temperature in a state of dehydration; a heat generation section configured to output heat energy to the living tissue; a switch; and a control section configured such that if the switch is turned on and is maintained in a turned on state, the control section controls the high-frequency energy output section to output high-frequency energy to cause the temperature of the living tissue to reach the first temperature and controls the high-frequency energy output section to keep outputting the high-frequency energy at least until the temperature reaches a second temperature higher than the first temperature and controls the heat generation section to start outputting heat energy, later than the start of the high-frequency energy output section, to also assist in heating the living tissue to the second temperature, wherein the control section is further configured to control the heat generation section to stop outputting the heat energy after the second temperature has been reached and after the second temperature has been maintained for a predetermined time span.
