In addition, the number of hair follicles which are destroyed during the removal process is minimized. In one embodiment of the present invention, the blade penetration depth is controlled via selectively sizing and shifting the plurality of spacers. In one particular embodiment, the blades and spacers may be shifted with the assistance of a pin, and in another embodiment, the knife includes a plurality of markings indicating a particular blade angle.

A method and system is provided to induce mild hypothermia in a patient through controlled heating of the preoptic anterior hypothalamus (POAH) in conjunction with cooling of patient's body. The system employs an ultrasound transducer that may be positioned extracorporeally to a patient skull for emitting ultrasound energy to the POAH. The ultrasound energy heats the POAH to inhibit thermoregulatory responses of the body such that a cooling means may more effectively cool bodily tissue in order to reduce a patient's core body temperature. Feedback sensors may be positioned at various locations on the patient in order to monitor the patient's core body temperature. A control apparatus included with the system controls the amount of heat the POAH receives and the amount of cooling the body receives based on the feedback signals from the sensors.
