A treatment method and apparatus for providing a substance to be absorbed onto a surface of a patient's skin, includes applying the substance onto the surface of the patient's skin by way of a probe head that provides, at the same time: i) bursts of electrical pulses to the skin surface, and ii) vibrations to the skin surface. The vibrations are applied to the skin surface at substantially a same frequency rate, a first harmonic of the same frequency rate, and/or a second harmonic of the same frequency rate, as a burst rate of electrical pulses being applied to the skin surface.

What is claimed is: 1. A method for reducing cellulite on skin, comprising: a) applying a dermabrasion treatment to a region of the skin; b) heating the skin by way of a lamp or a radio frequency signal; c) applying mechanical vibrations to the region of the skin, by way of the probe; and d) apply
What is claimed is: 1. A method for reducing cellulite on skin, comprising: a) applying a dermabrasion treatment to a region of the skin; b) heating the skin by way of a lamp or a radio frequency signal; c) applying mechanical vibrations to the region of the skin, by way of the probe; and d) applying electrical pulses to the region of the skin, by way of the probe, at a same time the mechanical pulses are applied to the region of the skin in step c). 2. The method according to claim 1, further comprising; e) concurrently with steps c) and d), generating a suction at the probe to suck at least a portion of the region of the skin towards the probe while the probe is being moved along the region of the skin. 3. The method according to claim 2, further comprising: between steps b) and c), applying a cellulite-reducing substance to the skin, wherein the vibrating applying step enhances absorption of the substance within the skin, and wherein the suction generating step evenly distributes the substance within the skin. 4. A device for reducing cellulite of a patient, comprising: a dermabrasion unit configured to treat a portion of the patient's skin by removing a stratum corneum layer of the portion of the patient's skin; means for heating a region of the patient beneath the portion of the patient's skin by way of a lamp or a radio frequency signal; a probe configured to deliver a substance to the portion of the patient's skin to reduce the cellulite beneath the portion of the patient's skin; a vibration unit configured to apply mechanical vibrations to the portion of the patient's skin; and a electrical pulse burst applying unit configured to apply bursts of electrical pulses to the portion of the patient's skin, wherein the burst of electrical pulses are applied to the portion of the patient's skin at a same time the mechanical pulses are applied to the portion of the patient's skin and at a same time the portion of the patient's skin is being heated. 5. The device according to claim 4, further comprising; a suction unit configured to generate a suction at the probe to suck the portion of the patient's skin towards the probe while the probe is being moved along the patient's skin. 6. A method for reducing cellulite on skin, comprising: a) applying a treatment to a region of the skin in order to remove a stratum corneum layer of the skin; b) heating the skin by way of a lamp or a radio frequency signal; c) applying mechanical vibrations to the region of the skin by way of a probe; and d) applying electrical pulses to the region of the skin, by way of the probe, at a same time the mechanical pulses are applied to the region of the skin in step c). 7. The method according to claim 6, further comprising; e) concurrently with steps c) and d), generating a suction at the probe to suck at least a portion of the region of the skin towards the probe while the probe is being moved along the region of the skin. 8. The method according to claim 6, further comprising: between steps b) and c), applying a cellulite-reducing substance to the skin, wherein the vibrating applying step enhances absorption of the substance within the skin, and wherein the suction generating step evenly distributes the substance within the skin. 9. An apparatus for reducing cellulite on skin, comprising: a hand-held probe, the hand-held probe including: a heating unit configured to heat the skin by way of a lamp or a radio frequency signal; a mechanical vibration unit configured to apply mechanical vibrations to the region of the skin; and an electrical pulse application unit configured to apply electrical pulses to the region of the skin, at a same time the mechanical are applied to the region of the skin; and a suction unit configured to apply a sucking force to the skin in order to suck the skin against the probe. 10. An apparatus for reducing cellulite on skin, comprising: a hand-held probe, the hand-held probe including: a heating unit configured to heat the skin by way of a lamp or a radio frequency signal; a mechanical vibration unit configured to apply mechanical vibrations to the region of skin; and an electrical pulse application unit configured to apply electrical pulses to the region of the skin, at a same time the mechanical pulses are applied to the region of the skin, a dermabrasion unit configured to provide a dermabrasion treatment the skin, in order to remove a stratum corneum layer of the skin prior to heating of the skin by the heating unit.
