Claims30
A treatment device for enhancing a visual appearance of a patient, the treatment device comprising:
- an applicator comprising a first magnetic field generating coil,
- wherein the applicator is configured to be adhesively attached to a body region of the patient, and
- wherein the body region comprises a buttock or an abdomen;
- and
- a first switch configured to discharge a capacitor to the first magnetic field generating coil such that the first magnetic field generating coil generates a first time-varying magnetic field with a repetition rate in a range of 1 Hz to 300 Hz and a magnetic flux density in a range of 0.5 Tesla to 7 Tesla,
- wherein the first time-varying magnetic field comprises a first plurality of pulses, a second plurality of pulses, and a third plurality of pulses,
- wherein the first plurality of pulses has a first repetition rate,
