Functional magnetic stimulation (FMS) is commonly used to accelerate the healing process and alleviate pain. Recently, it has been shown to be useful for non-invasive body-shaping techniques. Low-frequency therapeutic ultrasound has been proven to be a safe, non-invasive alternative to liposuction. This report discusses a few cases to compare the effects of FMS with the combination of FMS with low-frequency therapeutic ultrasound on muscle thickness, volume, and subcutaneous adipose tissue thickness which can increase muscle strength and loss of unwanted fat. Four healthy Caucasian female volunteers aged between 42 and 45 years received 10 sessions of FMS using the Tesla Former prestige device (Iskra Medical, Otoče, Slovenia). Additionally, three volunteers (out of four) received four sessions of low-frequency therapeutic ultrasound with the Sonic Shaper device (Iskra Medical). The efficacy of the treatments was evaluated through ultrasound imaging and tensiomyography (TMG). Patients 1 and 2 received the application of FMS on the gluteal area and Sonic Shaper on the gluteal adipose tissue. However, patient 4 received the combination treatment on the rectus abdominalis, and patient 3 received only FMS treatment on the gluteus maximus (GMx) and gluteus medius (GMe) instead. The measurements collected after the last session showed significant improvements in each patient. Post-treatment measurement of left/right gluteus maximus diameter for patients 1, 2, and 3 showed an increase compared to the baseline. Patient 4, who received combination treatment on the rectus abdominis muscle (RAb), also showed an increase in rectus abdominis diameter. The study shows that FMS increases muscle volume, whereas low-frequency therapeutic ultrasound reduces localized subcutaneous adipose tissue thickness. Combining these two non-invasive treatments may be a promising, safe, and effective intervention for body shaping and countering.
功能性磁刺激（FMS）通常用于加速愈合过程和减轻疼痛。最近，它已被证明对非侵入性身体塑形技术有用。低频治疗性超声已被证明是一种安全、非侵入性的抽脂替代方法。本报告讨论了几例病例，以比较FMS以及FMS与低频治疗性超声联合使用对肌肉厚度、体积和皮下脂肪组织厚度的影响，这些影响可增加肌肉力量并减少多余脂肪。四名年龄在42至45岁之间的健康白种女性志愿者使用特斯拉前身威望设备（伊斯克拉医疗公司，斯洛文尼亚奥托克）接受了10次FMS治疗。此外，四名志愿者中的三名接受了使用声波塑形设备（伊斯克拉医疗公司）的四次低频治疗性超声治疗。通过超声成像和张力肌电图（TMG）评估治疗效果。患者1和患者2在臀肌区域接受FMS治疗，在臀肌脂肪组织接受声波塑形治疗。然而，患者4在腹直肌接受联合治疗，患者3仅在臀大肌（GMx）和臀中肌（GMe）接受FMS治疗。最后一次治疗后收集的测量结果显示，每位患者都有显著改善。患者1、2和3治疗后左/右臀大肌直径的测量结果与基线相比有所增加。在腹直肌（RAb）接受联合治疗的患者4，其腹直肌直径也有所增加。研究表明，FMS可增加肌肉体积，而低频治疗性超声可减少局部皮下脂肪组织厚度。将这两种非侵入性治疗方法结合起来可能是一种有前景、安全且有效的塑形和对抗干预措施。
