Abstract
Devices and methods for tissue treatment produce a mechanical stimulation therapy and electromagnetic field therapy. The mechanical stimulation therapy provides stimulation of blood circulation and stimulates treated cells. The electromagnetic field enables thermal treatment of tissue. Combination of both therapies improves soft tissue treatment, mainly connective tissue in the skin area and fat reduction.
Claims20
A method for treating tissue of a patient, comprising:
- positioning an applicator adjacent to tissue of the patient;
- providing mechanical stimulation from the applicator into the tissue of the patient using a pneumatic device, with the mechanical stimulation at a frequency in the range of 0.1 Hz to 100 Hz;
- transmitting electromagnetic waves from the applicator into the tissue of the patient with the electromagnetic waves heating the tissue;
- remodeling the tissue via the combination of mechanical stimulation and electromagnetic waves;
- and
- with the mechanical stimulation providing a massaging effect on the patient;
- and
- where an energy flux of electromagnetic energy is in the range of 0.01 mW·mm−2 to 10 000 mW·mm−2.
