Noninvasive methods for therapeutically heating a collagenous target tissue of a pelvic support system to a desired temperature range are provided. Energy can be delivered to the target tissue via an applicator device having a plurality of spaced electrodes. The spaced electrodes are selectively activated in accordance with treatment groupings defined by input parameters generally associated with “standard” or “short” treatment modes. These treatment modes can correspond to the urethral length of the target tissue.
