Simultaneous HIFEM and Synchronized RF Procedure Can Be Effectively Used for Increasing Muscle Mass and Decreasing Fat in the Upper Arm.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Several studies on the simultaneous use of high-intensity focused electromagnetic field (HIFEM) and radiofrequency (RF) have shown safety and effectiveness of fat reduction and muscle mass increases in other parts of the body. This study investigated HIFEM+RF procedure effect on muscle mass and adipose tissue in the upper arms.

Methods

Thirty-four subjects enrolled in this multicentric study underwent four, 30-minute bilateral procedures over the upper arms spaced one week apart, with the device simultaneously emitting HIFEM and RF energies. Fat and m. triceps muscle tissue change was measured via magnetic resonance imaging at baseline, 1-month, and 3-month follow-up visits. Additionally, digital photographs, patient comfort, and satisfaction questionnaires were ob
