Abstract
Systems and methods can be implemented in which an electromagnetic charge is used to strengthen, tone, and firm muscle tissues. For example, the method may include receiving parameters for operation of a magnetic muscle stimulation device. The method may also include causing, based on the received parameters, a first alternating current having a first phase to flow through a first coil and generate a first time-varying magnetic field that induces a first electric charge in muscle tissue under a skin surface of a patient when the first applicator surface is positioned substantially on and parallel to the skin surface of the patient. The method may also include causing a second alternating current having a second phase to flow through a second coil in a similar manner. Optionally, a phase offset between the first and second phases may be adjusted to limit to a predetermined maximum electric charge.
