Abstract: A method for strengthening, toning, and firming muscle tissues, the method includes receiving parameters for operating a magnetic muscle stimulation device. The parameters include: a first waveform frequency; one or more pulse durations; a second waveform frequency that is non-zero; causing, a first alternating current having one or more first pulses to flow for a first length of time through a coil according to the first waveform frequency; causing, a second alternating current having one or more second pulses to flow through the coil for a second length of time according to the second waveform frequency lower than the first waveform frequency. The method includes repeating the causing of the first and second alternating currents for a plurality of iterations to provide a continuously pulsed time-varying magnetic field that alternates between the first and the second waveform frequencies to generate a treatment session.

Abstract: An ultrasound treatment head for an apparatus for treating a patient with ultrasound comprises at least one active element for converting an electric signal into ultrasound and a vacuum cup having an upper part and a lower part. The active element is mounted in the upper part and the vacuum cup provides a vacuum chamber with a holding space for a gel pad. The upper part is adapted to act as a spring suspension for the active element to lower the active element into the lower part. The active element is provided with a positioning ring protruding with respect to the active element. This positioning ring determines the location of the gel pad within the holding space.
