In 2018, the first device to use high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to non-invasively build muscle was brought to market. Even more recently, the first HIFEM and radiofrequency combination device designed to both build muscle and eliminate fat cells came into use (HIFEM+). In view of the increase in recently published original data pertaining to HIFEM, an advisory board recently convened to discuss the group's clinical experiences with this technology.
Communicate an advisory group's recommendations for the current use of HIFEM+ technology for aesthetic indications.
An advisory board meeting to discuss challenges and opportunities for HIFEM devices in aesthetic medicine took place in November 2020, via remote conference. The expert advisory board consisted of a group of senior aesthetic physicians regularly treating patients with non-invasive body contouring devices. A narrative review of the literature and key recommendations from the meeting are presented herein.
To date, the combined results of several clinical studies (including over 500 patients and 30 investigators) support that patients treated with HIFEM+ experience on average, 30% less fat, 25% more muscle, 19% reduction in abdominal separation and up to 5.9 cm reduction in waist circumference. Moreover, HIFEM+ induces a 30% increase in satellite cell content, which is similar to the 36% increase observed following twelve weeks of exercise.
The advisory board unanimously agreed on several messages related to HIFEM technology, including that the pairing of HIFEM and radiofrequency (HIFEM+) enables a higher intensity of muscle stimulation and lipolysis, compared to HIFEM alone.
2018 年，首款利用高强度聚焦电磁场（HIFEM）技术实现非侵入式肌肉锻炼的设备问世。最近，首款旨在同时锻炼肌肉和消除脂肪细胞的 HIFEM 和射频联合设备（HIFEM+）也已投入使用。鉴于最近发表的与 HIFEM 相关的原始数据不断增加，一个顾问委员会最近开会讨论了该技术的临床应用经验。
交流顾问小组关于目前将 HIFEM+技术用于美容适应症的建议。
2020 年 11 月，通过远程会议，召开了一次顾问委员会会议，讨论 HIFEM 设备在美容医学领域的挑战和机遇。该专家顾问委员会由一组经常使用非侵入性身体轮廓设备治疗患者的资深美容医生组成。本文介绍了对文献的叙述性综述和会议的主要建议。
迄今为止，几项临床研究（包括 500 多名患者和 30 名研究者）的综合结果支持，接受 HIFEM+治疗的患者平均脂肪减少 30%，肌肉增加 25%，腹部分离减少 19%，腰围减少 5.9 厘米。此外，HIFEM+可诱导卫星细胞含量增加 30%，与 12 周运动后观察到的 36%的增加相似。
顾问委员会一致同意与 HIFEM 技术相关的几条信息，包括 HIFEM 和射频的联合应用（HIFEM+）与单独使用 HIFEM 相比，能够实现更高强度的肌肉刺激和脂肪分解。
