An applicator attachable to a skin treatment device that is capable of
simultaneously applying RF energy and optic energy to a patient's skin,
and a skin treatment method using the applicator are developed. The skin
treatment device comprises: a housing, one or pair of electrodes arranged
inside of the housing for generating the high frequency waves, a suction
cavity formed in front of the electrodes while it is contacting to the
patient's skin, opposite end installed to the housing and an lateral
vacuum pocket that is connected to a flow pathway connected to a vacuum
system for generating negative pressure inside the applicator. Thus, the
patient's skin is lifted by suction force to place between the pair of
electrodes for easily and effectively penetrating the laser beams in to
the dermis.
