  • Publication number: 20240139533
    Abstract: A treatment device for providing a magnetic treatment and a radiofrequency treatment to a body area of a patient. The device includes an energy storage device for storing electric energy, a magnetic field generating device, and a switching device to discharge the electrical energy from the energy storage device to the magnetic field generating device, such that a time-varying magnetic field is generated and provides muscle contraction to a muscle in the body area of the patient. The time-varying magnetic field may have a magnetic field density in a range of 0.1 Tesla to 7 Tesla and a repetition rate in a range of 0.1 Hz to 700 Hz. The device may also include a radiofrequency electrode to generate radiofrequency waves to heat a tissue in the body of the patient. A body of the radiofrequency electrode may include a plurality of openings in a range of 5 to 1000 openings.

  • Publication number: 20240091547
    Abstract: An unattended approach can increase the reproducibility and safety of the treatment as the chance of over/under treating of a certain area is significantly decreased. On the other hand, unattended treatment of uneven or rugged areas can be challenging in terms of maintaining proper distance or contact with the treated tissue, mostly on areas which tend to differ from patient to patient (e.g. facial area). Delivering energy via a system of active elements embedded in a flexible pad adhesively attached to the skin offers a possible solution. The unattended approach may include delivering of multiple energies to enhance a visual appearance.

  • Patent number: 11896299
    Abstract: A method of treating tissue of a patient uses a device including a mother case, a belt, at least one treatment unit and at least two applicators. The treatment method may include attaching first and second applicators to the belt at a working distance to the patient's surface, and providing different treatment energy to the first applicator and the second applicator. A treatment pattern is created by the applicators providing the different treatment energies. The hardware pattern or positions of the applicators on the belt may be changed before and/or during the treatment. The hardware pattern may be based on selected treatment effect and body part.

  • Publication number: 20230329739
    Abstract: The invention relates in general to the field of human skin treatment, more specifically to devices and methods for cleansing and subsequent care of a person's skin. The methods effectively use the combination of mechanical cleansing strengthened by vibrations transmitted to a tip, lowered pressure and treatment liquid. The advantageous aspect of the device according to the invention is that vibrations are transmitted from the vibration mechanism directly to at least a portion of the tip that is in contact with the patient's skin. This means that vibrations are targeted to the place of use, and the vibration of the whole applicator is, in comparison with methods and devices according to the state of the art, significantly lowered, as are occurrences of hand pain and other inconveniences for the person providing the therapy. The other advantageous aspect of the device is a special design of the applicator for reducing the risk of spilling serum when treatment is stopped or interrupted.

  • Publication number: 20230321457
    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.
