Benefits of technology

The present invention describes devices and methods for treating patients using a time-varying magnetic field. These devices have several technical effects. Firstly, the use of smaller diameter coils with individual insulation reduces self-heating, which increases the efficiency of magnetic stimulation. Secondly, the treatment causes stronger muscle contraction, reducing the number and volume of adipocytes and improving the visual appearance of the treated body region via targeted muscle contraction. Thirdly, the treatment improves temperature homogeneity and causes remodeling and neogenesis of collagen and elastin fibers. Finally, the treatment can be used for various applications such as body shaping, muscle toning, skin tightening, collagen treatment, skin rejuvenation, wrinkle removing, breast lifting, lip enhancement, treatment of vascular or pigmented lesions of the skin or hair removing.

Problems solved by technology

Additionally, strong muscle contractions at higher repetition rates cause mechanical movement of all the layers in proximity of the contracted muscle.
The methods therefore cause remodeling and / or neogenesis of the collagen and elastin fibers.

Embodiment Construction

[0031]FIG. 1 illustrates a cross section of winding of a coil for a magnetic stimulation device. The coil may be constructed from litz-wire, wherein each wire is insulated separately. Each individual conductor is coated with non-conductive material so the coil constitutes multiple insulated wires. Unlike existing magnetic coil conductors, the present coil is not made of bare wire e.g. litz-wire without insulation, or conductive tapes, conductive strips, or copper pipe with hollow inductors. The insulation of wires separately is a substantial improvement, since this leads to a significant reduction of the induced eddy currents. Power loss due to eddy currents, per single wire, is described by Equation 1 below. The small diameter of wires significantly reduces self-heating of the coil and therefore increases efficiency of the present magnetic stimulation device.

The coil is flexibly attached in a case. The device has at least one blower for cooling the coil. The methods and devices can be used in for example in physiotherapy, neuropsychiatric therapy, aesthetic therapy, urology or urogynecology.

Description

PRIORITY CLAIM[0001]This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Nos. 62 / 357,679 filed Jul. 1, 2016 and now pending; 62 / 440,905 filed Dec. 30, 2016 and now pending; and 62 / 440,922 filed Dec. 30, 2016 and now pending. These applications are incorporated herein by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention generally relates to methods using the influence of magnetic and induced electric field on biological structure. The magnetic field is time-varying and high powered therefore the method is based on a value of magnetic flux density sufficient to induce at least partial muscle contraction.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Aesthetic medicine includes all treatments resulting in enhancing a visual appearance and satisfaction of the patient. Patients want to minimize all imperfections including body shape and effects of natural aging. Indeed, patients request quick, non-invasive procedures providing satisfactory results with minimal risks.[0004]...
