Combination of radiofrequency and magnetic treatment methods

A method for treating a biological structure of a patient by a time-varying magnetic field and radiofrequency waves, comprising:

• a. providing energy from an energy source to an energy storage device and/or to a high-frequency generator;
• b. providing energy from the energy storage device to a magnetic field generating device in order to generate the time-varying magnetic field with a magnetic flux density in a range of 0.1 to 7 T, a repetition rate in a range of 1 to 700 Hz and with an impulse duration in a range of 10 to 900 μs;
• wherein the magnetic field generating device includes a conductor diameter less than 3 mm;
• c. providing energy from the high-frequency generator to a balun transformer in order to convert an unbalanced radiofrequency signal to a balanced radiofrequency signal and providing the balanced radiofrequency signal to a transmatch in order to adjust an impedance of at least one radiofrequency electrode to correspond with an impedance of the biological structure of the patient;
• and
• d. generating radiofrequency waves with a frequency in a range of 1 MHz to 900 GHz and with energy up to 400 W by the at least one radiofrequency electrode;
• e. applying the radiofrequency waves simultaneously with the time-varying magnetic field to the patient;
• and
• f. remodeling a target biological structure by simultaneous heating the biological structure and contracting a muscle of a target body area.
