3. The apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the air delivery source is selected among the group of sources consisting of ambient air and an air pressure supply pump (124).
4. The apparatus according to claim 3, wherein ambient air restores skin drawn into the cavity (154, 408) to its initial position by releasing vacuum in the cavity (154, 408) and air pressure restores skin drawn into the cavity (154, 408) to its initial position by pushing it out of the cavity (154, 408).
5. The apparatus according to any of claims 3 or 4, wherein the air pressure supply pump (124) provides air pressure to the cavity ( 54, 408) through a tubing (170) having one end connected to the air pressure supply pump (124) and wherein two or more air valves (166) are connected in parallel to the other end of the tubing (170) not connected to the air pressure supply pump (124).
6. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein each cavity (154, 408) comprises: at least one electrically controlled valve (406) associated with each cavity (154, 408) and configured to connect the cavity (154, 408) to the source of vacuum pressure when vacuum is to be delivered into the cavity or to ambient air to vent the cavity (154, 408) when vacuum is to be released from the cavity, and
a vacuum tubing (162) with one end connected to the source of vacuum pressure wherein two or more valves (406) are connected in parallel to a second end of the vacuum tubing (162).
7. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein each cavity (154, 408) comprises: at least one electrically controlled valve (406) associated with each cavity (154, 408) and configured to connect the cavity (154, 408) to the source of vacuum pressure when vacuum is to be delivered into the cavity or to an air pressure supply pump (124) operative to deliver air pressure to the cavity (154, 408) when vacuum is to be released from the cavity, and
a tubing with one end connected to the air pressure supply pump (124) wherein two or more valves (406) are connected in parallel to a second end of the tubing.
8. The apparatus according to any of claims 1-7, further comprising at least one energy to skin applying element to apply skin treatment energy to the skin segment.
9. The apparatus according to claim 8, wherein the energy to skin applying element is two RF electrodes (150, 508) located in the interior of the cavity (154, 408) and the apparatus further comprises:
