SUMMARY: The study explores a novel method for contouring the lateral abdomen using a combination of High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) therapy and synchronized radiofrequency. Conducted across multiple centers, it employs MRI to assess the effectiveness of this simultaneous treatment approach. Results indicate significant improvements in abdominal shape and body composition, demonstrating the potential of this dual therapy to enhance non-invasive body sculpting techniques. The findings suggest that combining these modalities may offer superior outcomes compared to using either therapy alone, making it a promising option for patients seeking abdominal aesthetics.
