Abstract
In methods for treating a patient, a time varying magnetic field is applied to a patient's body and causes a muscle contraction. The time-varying magnetic field may be monophasic, biphasic, polyphasic and/or static. The method may reduce adipose tissue, improve metabolism, blood and/or lymph circulation. The method may use combinations of treatments to enhance the visual appearance of the patient.
Claims30
A device for treating a patient, comprising:
- an applicator comprising:
- a first energy delivery element configured to provide a time-varying magnetic field to the patient, wherein the time-varying magnetic field has 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;
- a second energy delivery element configured to apply a radiofrequency field to the patient to cause heating of a target biological structure,
- wherein the applicator is configured to be coupled to the patient by an adhesive material;
- a low-frequency generator,
- wherein the low-frequency generator is coupled to the first energy delivery element and configured to provide a low-frequency signal to the first energy delivery element to generate the time-varying magnetic field;
- and
- a high-frequency generator coupled to the second energy delivery element,
- wherein the high-frequency generator is configured to provide a high-frequency signal for generating the radiofrequency field.

A device for treating a patient, comprising:
- a first energy delivery element configured to apply a time-varying magnetic field to the patient, the time-varying magnetic field having a magnetic flux density in a range of 0.1 Tesla to 7 Tesla,
- wherein the time-varying magnetic field comprises a plurality of biphasic impulses,
- and wherein each impulse of the plurality of biphasic impulses has an impulse duration in a range of 3 microseconds to 1 millisecond;
- a low-frequency generator coupled to the first energy delivery element, wherein the low-frequency generator is configured to provide a signal to the first energy delivery element for generating the time-varying magnetic field;
- and
- a second energy delivery element configured to apply a radiofrequency field to the patient to cause heating of a target biological structure.
