Abstract:
Background and Objective: In recent years, a strong desire for slimmer and healthier-looking bodies has grown in the population. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safeness of the new technology Flat Magnetic Stimulation for buttock and abdomen remodeling in athletic subjects. Methods: A total of 49 patients (31 females and 18 males) were enrolled. Patients’ digital photos and buttocks/abdomen circumference measurements were taken to assess and monitor the effectiveness of treatment on muscle firming. The level of patient satisfaction was evaluated by a questionnaire based on a seven point Likert scale. Average scores were calculated at a 1-month follow-up (FU). Results: A significant increase in the buttocks’ mean circumference from 85.5 ± 0.7 cm to 88.5 ± 0.7 cm (p < 0.05) and in the abdomens’ mean circumference from 76.5 ± 9.19 cm to 78 ± 9.89 cm (p < 0.05) was observed 1 month after the last treatment. All subjects reported that their buttocks and abdomens felt more lift and toned. The average abdomen and buttocks satisfaction scores improve significantly at 1-month FU. Conclusions: Our data show that FMS treatment could be used as an effective mechanism for muscle toning.

Glass-bulb Thermometer:
Glass-bulb thermometers are hollow glass tubes with a bulb tip containing liquid such as ethanol or mercury. Historically, glass bulb mercury thermometers were the standard device to measure body temperature. Today, mercury thermometers are prohibited in many countries due to the hazardous effects of mercury and the risk of exposure if the glass bulb breaks. In general,...
