A Novel Technology Combining RF and Magnetic Fields: Technical Elaboration on Novel RF Electrode Design |Biomedgrid

The article provides an insight into the technological aspects of a novel technology in body shaping allowing simultaneous delivery of HIFEM magnetic fields and radiofrequency energy. The device utilizes circular coil for magnetic field induction and radiofrequency electrodes in a single applicator which poses a technological challenge to the construction. To overcome the challenges a novel electrode design has been introduced for avoiding interferences between the two types of energy. As such the device presents a shift in the body contouring segment of aesthetic medicine, because it allows a simultaneous treatment of muscle laxity through supramaximal muscle stimulation and reduction of excessive adipose tissue through radiofrequency heating.
