A61N 7/02 (2006.01)
Systems and methods for increasing skin rejuvenation of a
(Continued) region of a patient’s skin. The system includes: a pulsed
electromagnetic ?eld (PEMF) frequency generator that emits
(52) US. Cl.
electromagnetic pulses to the region of the patient’ s skin; and
CPC .A61F 7/00 (2013.01); A61N1/328 (2013.01);
a deep tissue diathermy device that applies heat to the region
A61N1/403 (2013.01); A61N2/002 (2013.01);
of the patient’s skin up to temperature T. The system simul
(Continued) taneously applies the heat and the PEMF to the region of a
patient’s skin.
