Abdominal body shaping using StarFormer high-intensity magnetic stimulation-A case series
1Dr Valdivia Sing Medicina Estética y Antienvejecimiento, Escazú, Costa Rica.
Background:
Magnetic stimulation of muscles has become a popular method for muscle toning and strengthening.
Aims:
The aim of this case series was to investigate safety and effectiveness of a novel magnetic stimulation device.
Methods:
The patients received 10 sessions of high-intensity magnetic stimulation of their abdominal muscles. Change in muscle tone was determined by anonymous evaluation of photographs and using patient satisfaction questionnaires before treatment and 10 weeks following the last treatment session. Weight and waist circumference were also measured before treatment and at the 10-week follow-up.
Results:
Blinded evaluation of photographs has shown improvement of the appearance of abdominal muscles. Patient satisfaction was high. The patients also experienced a reduction in their waist circumference, while their weight did not significantly change.
Conclusions:
The treatment using the StarFormer® high-intensity magnetic stimulation is an effective and noninvasive method for abdominal body shaping, which is safe and comfortable to the patients and results in high patient satisfaction and an objective improvement in abdominal body shape appearance.

Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...
