Inevitable signs of aging are especially noticeable in middle to elder age when stretch marks, loose skin, cellulite, and body-contour changes naturally appear.
To verify efficacy of high-intensity focused electromagnetic field (HIFEM), radiofrequency (RF), and Targeted Pressure Energy (TPE) combination treatment to address unfavorable changes in skin, fat, and muscle tissue.
The device simultaneously emitting monopolar RF and TPE energies was consecutively combined with simultaneous HIFEM+RF procedure in 32 subjects (21-64 years, 17.4-33.5 kg/m ) for treatment of thighs (N = 15; back, inner, or front), buttocks/saddlebags (N = 7), abdomen (N = 8), and upper arms (N = 2). All patients underwent four weekly, combined treatments of 30-min HIFEM+RF procedure followed by 15-30 min RF+TPE, depending on treatment area. Circumferential measurements, digital photographs, subject satisfaction, and comfort questionnaires were assessed up to 3-months post-treatment.
Majority of participants found treatments comfortable, no adverse events occurred. Subjects showed substantial improvement in all treated areas from 1-month follow-up. Combination of HIFEM+RF, monopolar RF, and TPE resulted in significant circumference decrease. Generally, more pronounced results were seen at 3 months when subjects showed -5.2 cm on abdomen, -3.0 cm on thighs, and -5.5 cm on saddlebags, respectively. Ninety-four percent of subjects were satisfied with treatment results, most noticed improvement in cellulite, skin laxity, and muscle definition.
Results showed high patient satisfaction and efficacy in improving body contour and skin quality. Combining simultaneous HIFEM+RF procedure with simultaneous monopolar RF+TPE treatments considerably enhanced body contour and skin tissue. The procedure proved versatile and may effectively treat multiple body parts.
衰老的不可避免的迹象在中年到老年时尤为明显，此时妊娠纹、皮肤松弛、蜂窝组织和身体轮廓的变化自然出现。
验证高强度聚焦电磁场（HIFEM）、射频（RF）和靶向压力能（TPE）联合治疗对改善皮肤、脂肪和肌肉组织的不利变化的疗效。
同时发射单极 RF 和 TPE 能量的设备连续与同时 HIFEM+RF 程序联合应用于 32 名受试者（21-64 岁，17.4-33.5kg/m ）中，用于治疗大腿（N=15；背部、内侧或前侧）、臀部/马鞍袋（N=7）、腹部（N=8）和上臂（N=2）。所有患者接受每周 4 次，每次 30 分钟的 HIFEM+RF 程序联合治疗，然后根据治疗区域接受 15-30 分钟的 RF+TPE 治疗，共 4 次。治疗后 3 个月内评估周长测量、数字照片、患者满意度和舒适度问卷。
大多数参与者认为治疗舒适，没有不良反应发生。从 1 个月随访开始，所有治疗区域的患者均显示出显著的改善。HIFEM+RF、单极 RF 和 TPE 的联合应用导致周长显著减少。通常，在 3 个月时，患者的腹部减少了-5.2cm，大腿减少了-3.0cm，马鞍袋减少了-5.5cm，结果更为显著。94%的患者对治疗结果满意，大多数人注意到皮肤松弛、蜂窝组织和肌肉轮廓的改善。
结果表明患者对改善身体轮廓和皮肤质量的满意度和疗效均较高。同时进行 HIFEM+RF 程序和同时进行单极 RF+TPE 治疗可以显著改善身体轮廓和皮肤组织。该程序具有多功能性，可以有效地治疗多个身体部位。
