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.
Claims20
A device for treating a patient, the device comprising:
- an applicator comprising:
- a magnetic field generating device configured to generate a time-varying magnetic field, wherein the time-varying magnetic field comprises a plurality of biphasic magnetic impulses, wherein the plurality of biphasic magnetic impulses comprises a biphasic magnetic impulse having an impulse duration in a range of 3 μs to 1000 μs;
- and
- an electrode configured to apply a radiofrequency treatment to the patient;
- an energy storage device comprising a capacitor configured to provide energy to the magnetic field generating device to generate the time-varying magnetic field;
- and
- a switching device configured to discharge the energy storage device to the magnetic field generating device in order to generate the time-varying magnetic field,
- wherein the radiofrequency treatment is configured to cause heating of a body region of the patient.
