A RF electrode for use in a device for thermal fat destruction and skin tightening is provided. The RF electrode comprises a handle, a cannula shaft that extends from the handle and in turn comprises a dielectric material. The shaft is insertable inside a body at a treatment area. The shaft also comprises an electrode tip that is positioned on the cannula at a location distal to the handle. The electrode tip comprises a RF conductive material. A device for thermal fat destruction and skin tightening and method therefore are also provided.
